Winter Doctrine is a module that provides easy configuration and access to Doctrine orm/dbal functionality from WinterBoot applications.
About Doctrine:
Setup
composer require suvera/winter-doctrine
To enable Doctrine module in applications, append following code to application.yml
modules: - module: dev\winterframework\doctrine\DoctrineModule enabled: true
application.yml
in your application.yml file you might already have setup datasources like this.
In below example, there are two datasources configured here with names.
- defaultdb (isPrimary: true)
- admindb
datasource: - name: defaultdb isPrimary: true url: "sqlite::memory:" username: xxxxx password: xxzzz migrations: enabled: false doctrine: entityPaths: - /path/to/defaultdb/entities isDevMode: false - name: admindb url: "mysql:host=localhost;port=3307;dbname=testdb" username: xxxxx password: xxzzz migrations: enabled: true doctrine: entityPaths: - /path/to/admindb/entities - /path/other/admindb/entities2 isDevMode: false driver: driverOptions: wrapperClass: driverClass: connection: persistent: true errorMode: ERRMODE_EXCEPTION columnsCase: CASE_NATURAL idleTimeout: 300 autoCommit: true defaultrowprefetch: 100
ORM/DBAL beans can be Autowired. No need to created them manually.
Bean names are suffixed as following way. Autowired code should input bean name.
| Bean Type | Bean Name |
|---|---|
| ORM EntityManager | {name}-doctrine-em |
| ORM Tranaction Manager | {name}-doctrine-emtxn |
| DBAL Connection | {name}-doctrine-dbal |
| DBAL Tranaction Manager | {name}-doctrine-dbaltxn |
Examples below
ORM EntityManager
// ORM - Primary (defaultdb) #[Autowired] private EntityManager $defaultEm; // Alternatively coded as: #[Autowired("defaultdb-doctrine-em")] // ORM #[Autowired("admindb-doctrine-em")] private EntityManager $adminEm;
ORM Transaction Managers
// ORM - Primary Tranaction Manager (defaultdb) #[Autowired] private EmTransactionManager $defaultTxnManager; // Alternatively coded as: #[Autowired("defaultdb-doctrine-emtxn")] // ORM Tranaction Manager #[Autowired("admindb-doctrine-emtxn")] private EmTransactionManager $adminTxnManager;
DBAL Connection
// DBAL Connection - Primary (defaultdb) #[Autowired] private Connection $defaultConn; // Alternatively coded as: #[Autowired("defaultdb-doctrine-dbal")] // DBAL Connection #[Autowired("admindb-doctrine-dbal")] private Connection $adminConn;
DBAL Transaction Managers
// DBAL - Primary Tranaction Manager (defaultdb) #[Autowired] private DbalTransactionManager $defaultTxnManager; // Alternatively coded as: #[Autowired("defaultdb-doctrine-dbaltxn")] // DBAL Tranaction Manager #[Autowired("admindb-doctrine-dbaltxn")] private DbalTransactionManager $adminTxnManager;
Coroutine-scoped EntityManagers (Swoole)
Think of the EntityManager as a notebook. It remembers every database row
your code has touched, so it does not have to ask the database twice. That
is great inside one request — and dangerous on a Swoole server, where one
worker handles hundreds of requests one after another. Without protection,
request number 2 would read request number 1's old notes instead of fresh
data from the database. Worse, two requests running at the same time would
scribble in the same notebook and corrupt each other's unflushed changes.
This library fixes that for you, automatically. Under Swoole, every request (or job, or message) silently gets its own blank notebook with its own database connection. When the request finishes, its notebook is thrown away. You change nothing in your code.
Your existing code keeps working exactly as it is:
#[Autowired] private EntityManager $defaultEm; public function findUser(int $id): ?User { // Always fresh data. Always isolated from other requests. return $this->defaultEm->find(User::class, $id); }
Bean names, instanceof EntityManager checks, type-hints, and both
transaction styles (#[Transactional] and EmTransactionManager) all work
unchanged. Code paths that never touch the database allocate nothing, and
short-lived CLI scripts behave exactly as before.
You can turn the whole thing off with one flag (it is on under Swoole and off without it):
winter: coroutine: db: enabled: true # kill switch: set to false to restore old behavior
Four rules to stay out of trouble:
-
Always use the injected
EntityManageritself. Do NOT save things it gives you (getRepository()results, query builders) into a property and reuse them later — those belong to one request's notebook, which gets thrown away. Fetch them fresh from theEntityManagerevery time:// WRONG: this repository dies with the first request's notebook. private EntityRepository $userRepo; // RIGHT: ask the EntityManager every time. $this->defaultEm->getRepository(User::class)->find($id);
-
Keep event listeners stateless. One shared event dispatcher serves all requests, so a listener that stores things in its own properties will mix up requests. Compute from the event, store nothing.
-
Long-running loops are the one exception. A daemon or scheduler that processes 10,000 items inside a single never-ending task reuses one notebook for all 10,000 items — and it keeps growing. Wrap each round so it gets a blank notebook, and you never have to think about it again:
use dev\winterframework\coroutine\CoroutineRunner; while (true) { // Each batch runs with a fresh notebook, then throws it away. CoroutineRunner::runInFreshCoroutine(fn() => $this->processNextBatch()); }
You do NOT need this helper for normal controllers, services, SQS/Kafka consumers, or scheduled jobs. Those already get a fresh notebook per run. Only loops that never end need it.
-
One database connection per concurrent request, with a safety cap. A blank notebook is useless without its own pen: every request that touches the database opens its own real database connection, so two requests can never share (and corrupt) one. Requests that never touch the database open none, and every connection is closed when its request finishes. The log line
Doctrine open DB connections: {...}shows you the live count per pool — watch it after deploys.To stop a runaway fan-out from exhausting the database, each pool is capped at 50 open connections. When all 50 are busy, the next request waits up to 5 seconds for one to free up; if none does, it fails fast with a clear
PoolExhaustedExceptioninstead of silently sharing (sharing would bring back the corruption bug). Tune both inapplication.yml:winter: coroutine: db: maxConnections: 50 # max open DB connections per pool, 0 = unlimited (not recommended) maxWaitMs: 5000 # how long to wait for a free connection before failing
A single datasource can override both caps in its own
connectionblock (the override wins over the global defaults):datasource: - name: defaultdb # ... connection: maxConnections: 50 maxWaitMs: 5000
How to size the cap: add up every pool (one EntityManager pool plus one DBAL pool per datasource, per tenant — using each datasource's override where one is set), multiply by your Swoole worker count, and keep the total below the database's
max_connections(MySQL defaults to 151, Postgres to 100). When in doubt, keep 50 and raise the database limit first — a loudPoolExhaustedExceptiontelling you to raise the cap is always better than a cryptic "too many connections" from the database at 3 AM.If the coroutine machinery itself fails, the failure is logged and the request degrades instead of crashing — but pool exhaustion stays loud: it still throws
PoolExhaustedExceptionrather than silently sharing a connection.
How to use Transactions
Declarative Transactions (AOP)
Executing something under ORM/DBAL transaction is easy by just using #[Transactional] annotation:
#[Autowired("admindb-doctrine-em")] private EntityManager $adminEm; #[Transactional(transactionManager: "admindb-doctrine-emtxn")] public function executeInTransaction(): void { // do something here foreach ($objects as $obj) { $this->adminEm->persist($obj); } // do more things here }
Programmatic Transactions
For fine-grained control, use EmTransactionManager (ORM) or DbalTransactionManager (DBAL) with the getTransaction()/commit()/rollback() pattern.
ORM Example — UserService with EmTransactionManager
use dev\winterframework\doctrine\orm\EmTransactionManager; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Autowired; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Service; use dev\winterframework\txn\support\DefaultTransactionDefinition; use dev\winterframework\util\log\Wlf4p; use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager; #[Service] class UserService { use Wlf4p; #[Autowired] private EmTransactionManager $txnManager; private function getEm(): EntityManager { return $this->txnManager->getEntityManager(); } public function createUser(User $user): User { $status = $this->txnManager->getTransaction(new DefaultTransactionDefinition()); try { $this->getEm()->persist($user); $this->getEm()->flush(); $this->txnManager->commit($status); return $user; } catch (\Throwable $e) { $this->txnManager->rollback($status); throw $e; } } public function updateUser(User $user): User { $status = $this->txnManager->getTransaction(new DefaultTransactionDefinition()); try { $existing = $this->getEm()->find(User::class, $user->getId()); if ($existing) { $existing->setName($user->getName()); $existing->setEmail($user->getEmail()); $existing->setAge($user->getAge()); $this->getEm()->flush(); } $this->txnManager->commit($status); return $user; } catch (\Throwable $e) { $this->txnManager->rollback($status); throw $e; } } public function deleteUser(int $id): bool { $status = $this->txnManager->getTransaction(new DefaultTransactionDefinition()); try { $user = $this->getEm()->find(User::class, $id); if ($user) { $this->getEm()->remove($user); $this->getEm()->flush(); $this->txnManager->commit($status); return true; } $this->txnManager->commit($status); return false; } catch (\Throwable $e) { $this->txnManager->rollback($status); throw $e; } } public function findById(int $id): ?User { return $this->getEm()->find(User::class, $id); } public function findAll(): array { return $this->getEm()->getRepository(User::class)->findAll(); } public function findByEmail(string $email): ?User { return $this->getEm()->getRepository(User::class)->findOneBy(['email' => $email]); } }
DBAL Example — UserDbalService with DbalTransactionManager
use dev\winterframework\doctrine\dbal\DbalTransactionManager; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Autowired; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Service; use dev\winterframework\txn\support\DefaultTransactionDefinition; use dev\winterframework\util\log\Wlf4p; use Doctrine\DBAL\Connection; #[Service] class UserDbalService { use Wlf4p; #[Autowired("defaultdb-doctrine-dbal")] private Connection $conn; #[Autowired("defaultdb-doctrine-dbaltxn")] private DbalTransactionManager $txnManager; public function createUser(User $user): User { $status = $this->txnManager->getTransaction(new DefaultTransactionDefinition()); try { $this->conn->executeStatement( "INSERT INTO doctrine_users (name, email, age) VALUES (:name, :email, :age)", ['name' => $user->getName(), 'email' => $user->getEmail(), 'age' => $user->getAge()] ); $user->setId((int) $this->conn->lastInsertId()); $this->txnManager->commit($status); return $user; } catch (\Throwable $e) { $this->txnManager->rollback($status); throw $e; } } public function updateUser(User $user): User { $status = $this->txnManager->getTransaction(new DefaultTransactionDefinition()); try { $this->conn->executeStatement( "UPDATE doctrine_users SET name = :name, email = :email, age = :age WHERE id = :id", ['name' => $user->getName(), 'email' => $user->getEmail(), 'age' => $user->getAge(), 'id' => $user->getId()] ); $this->txnManager->commit($status); return $user; } catch (\Throwable $e) { $this->txnManager->rollback($status); throw $e; } } public function deleteUser(int $id): bool { $status = $this->txnManager->getTransaction(new DefaultTransactionDefinition()); try { $affected = $this->conn->executeStatement( "DELETE FROM doctrine_users WHERE id = :id", ['id' => $id] ); $this->txnManager->commit($status); return $affected > 0; } catch (\Throwable $e) { $this->txnManager->rollback($status); throw $e; } } public function findById(int $id): ?User { $row = $this->conn->fetchAssociative( "SELECT * FROM doctrine_users WHERE id = :id", ['id' => $id] ); if (!$row) return null; return new User((int) $row['id'], $row['name'], $row['email'], isset($row['age']) ? (int) $row['age'] : null); } public function findAll(): array { $rows = $this->conn->fetchAllAssociative("SELECT * FROM doctrine_users ORDER BY id"); $users = []; foreach ($rows as $row) { $users[] = new User((int) $row['id'], $row['name'], $row['email'], isset($row['age']) ? (int) $row['age'] : null); } return $users; } public function findByEmail(string $email): ?User { $row = $this->conn->fetchAssociative( "SELECT * FROM doctrine_users WHERE email = :email", ['email' => $email] ); if (!$row) return null; return new User((int) $row['id'], $row['name'], $row['email'], isset($row['age']) ? (int) $row['age'] : null); } }
Multi-Tenant Support
Winter Doctrine provides native support for multi-tenancy via MultiTenantManager and TenantDataSourceProvider (from winter-boot), allowing per-tenant EntityManager, Connection, and transaction manager instances.
Configuration via application.yml
You can configure multi-tenant data sources directly in your application.yml by registering a provider class:
multitenant-datasource: - name: "tenantdb" url: "mysql:host=localhost;port=3306" migrations: enabled: true providerClass: "App\\Config\\MyTenantDataSourceProvider"
When configured, Winter Doctrine automatically initializes and registers a MultiTenantManager bean named <name>-manager (e.g. tenantdb-manager) in the application context.
Step 1: Implement TenantDataSourceProvider
Create a #[Configuration] class that returns your implementation of TenantDataSourceProvider.
use dev\winterframework\pdbc\datasource\DataSourceConfig; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Autowired; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Bean; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Configuration; use dev\winterframework\doctrine\orm\EntityManager; use dev\winterframework\pdbc\multitenant\TenantDataSourceProvider; #[Configuration] class MyTenantDataSourceProvider { #[Autowired("admindb-doctrine-em")] private EntityManager $adminEm; #[Bean] public function getTenantDataSourceProvider(): TenantDataSourceProvider { return new class implements TenantDataSourceProvider { public function getTenantDataSourceConfig(string $tenantId): DataSourceConfig { // Query your admin database (or any config store) for this tenant // $tenant = $this->adminEm->find(Tenant::class, $tenantId); // $dbHost = $tenant->dbHost; // $dbPort = $tenant->dbPort; // $username = $tenant->username; // $dbName = $tenant->database; $config = new DataSourceConfig(); $config->setName($tenantId); $config->setUrl("mysql:host=localhost;port=3306;dbname=tenant_{$tenantId}_db"); $config->setUsername("tenant_user"); $config->setPassword("tenant_pass"); return $config; } public function getTenantDataSourceConfigs(int $offset, int $limit): array { // Return a list of tenant configurations (optional) // Used for batch operations or tenant management return []; } }; } }
Step 2: Use in Business Classes
use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Autowired; use dev\winterframework\stereotype\Service; use dev\winterframework\doctrine\multitenancy\MultiTenantManager; #[Service] class TenantOrderService { #[Autowired] private MultiTenantManager $mt; public function createOrder(string $tenantId, array $orderData): void { // Get tenant-specific EntityManager $em = $this->mt->getEntityManager($tenantId); // Get tenant-specific Connection $conn = $this->mt->getConnection($tenantId); // Get tenant-specific TransactionManager $txnMgr = $this->mt->getEmTransactionManager($tenantId); $em->persist($order); $em->flush(); } public function processOrders(string $tenantId): void { $em = $this->mt->getEntityManager($tenantId); $em->getConnection()->beginTransaction(); try { // ... do work ... $em->getConnection()->commit(); } catch (\Throwable $e) { $em->getConnection()->rollBack(); throw $e; } } }
With Multiple MultiTenantManagers
If you have multiple multi-tenant data sources:
multitenant-datasource: - name: "regionDb" url: "mysql:host=localhost;port=3306" migrations: enabled: true providerClass: "App\\Config\\RegionTenantProvider" - name: "productDb" url: "mysql:host=localhost;port=3306" migrations: enabled: true providerClass: "App\\Config\\ProductTenantProvider"
#[Component] class CrossTenantService { #[Autowired("regionDb-manager")] private MultiTenantManager $regionMt; #[Autowired("productDb-manager")] private MultiTenantManager $productMt; public function process(string $regionTenantId, string $productTenantId): void { $regionEm = $this->regionMt->getEntityManager($regionTenantId); $productConn = $this->productMt->getConnection($productTenantId); // ... } }
