README

Doctrine DBAL 2.6 will introduce a DateInterval type which will map a PHP \DateInterval to a column in the database. This will allow mapping DateInterval properties on your entities in the ORM.

At the time of this writing, 2.6 hasn't been released, but I need this for a project. So, this little project provides the type for use in 2.5 (and probably lower).

This is simply a copy/paste job of the DateIntervalType class from the upcoming DBAL 2.6, with a composer.json so it's easy to pull into a project using <2.6.

Installation

$ composer require timdev/doctrine-date-interval:0.1.2

Usage

Where ever you initialize your EntityManager:

\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Type::addType('dateinterval', \TimDev\Doctrine\DBAL\Types\DateIntervalType::class);
$entityManager
    ->getConnection()
    ->getDatabasePlatform()
    ->registerDoctrineTypeMapping('dateinterval', 'dateinterval');
