Question

This code is working fine in controller

$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getEntityManager();
$entity = $em->getRepository('AcmeUserBundle:Child')->find($id);

Now I have custom Repository class

I want to know that how can use that in there

function getUser()
{
    $em = $this->getEntityManager();
    $entity = $em->getRepository('AcmeUserBundle:Child')->find($id);
}

Do I still need to use getRepository in Repository as well or not?

Answer 1

If the method is in Repository class, then you could just use $this.

$enity = $this->find($id);
