Doctrine custom type always altering table

Question

I have added a custom type like:

namespace My\\SuperBundle\\Types;

use Doctrine\\DBAL\\Types\\Type;
use Doctrine\\DBAL\\Platforms\\AbstractPlatform;

class Mo         


        

Answer 1

There's an alternative way to do this using configurations.

config.yml:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        types: { money: My\SuperBundle\Types\Money }

    connections:
        your_connection_name:
            mapping_types: { money: money }
