Question

I have to dynamically add OR expressions to the query builder returned by getListQueryBuilder, right after adding a where clause. I can’t find any suitable way of doing this, i’m just started learning Doctrine.

How can i “chain” a given number of orX and add them to my builder?

public function getListQueryBuilder($ownerId)
{
    $qb = $this->createQueryBuilder('t');

    return $qb
        ->where($qb->expr()->eq('t.user', ':user'))
        ->setParameter('user', $ownerId);
}

$builder = getListQueryBuilder(4);

// $ORs is a dynamically builded array, here is just an example
$ORs = array();
$ORs[] = $builder->expr()->like("t.name", 'my name');
$ORs[] = $builder->expr()->like("t.description", 'desc');

// Adding ORs to the builder
$builder->andWhere($builder->expr()->orX(/* here */));

You can check this solution:

$orX = $builder->expr()->orX();
foreach($ORs as $or) {
    $orX->add($or);
}
$builder->andWhere($orX);
