Question

Im trying to store a document in a different collection by using Mongodb and symfony2

This is my controller who sets the document into the db.

public function createAction(){
$post = new Post();
$post->setUrl('A Foo Bar');
$post->setTitle('asdf');
$dm = $this->get('doctrine.odm.mongodb.document_manager');
$dm->persist($post);
$dm->flush();
return new Response('Created post id '.$post->getId());}

As you can see, this is the example for the official documentation on DoctrineMongoDBBundle

But the problem is that by default it creates the document into a Collection named as the class, in my case is Post(), so the collection name is Post. I will like to save the document into a Collection named for example charlies_posts or any string as a variable.

Answer 1

It’s easy 🙂 In the definition of your document class just use the “collection” parameter.

Here is an exemple :

<?php

namespace MyProject\Document;

use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\Mapping\Annotations as ODM;

/**
 * @ODM\Document(
 *     collection="charlies_posts"
 * )
 */
class Post
{
