Question

I noticed FOSUserBundle does not create any indexes.

We are supposed to create a user Document like this:

use FOS\UserBundle\Document\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as MongoDB;

/**
 * @MongoDB\Document
 */
class User extends BaseUser
{
    /**
     * @MongoDB\Id(strategy="auto")
     */
    protected $id;

    /*
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        // your own logic
    }
    */

}

So how do I add an index to say, the ’email’ field? Should I just overwrite the inherited attribute?

Actually FOSUserBundle does create. You should run

php app\console doctrine:mongodb:schema:update

to create them. By default there is usernameCanonical and emailCanonical indexes.

If you need custom index use this approach:

<?php
/**
 * @MongoDB\Document
 * @MongoDB\Indexes({
 *   @MongoDB\Index(keys={"email"="asc"})
 * })
 */
class User extends BaseUser {
  // ...

and do not forget to run doctirne:mongodb:schema:update task again.
