doctrine/common 3.4.3

The PHP Doctrine Common is an indispensable library that provides extensions to the core PHP functionality. Leveraged by other Doctrine projects, it offers enhanced reflection support, useful proxy classes, and a host of other functionalities that enrich the programming experience and streamline development work.

To utilize the functionalities of the Doctrine Common project in your PHP development work, you need to incorporate it as a composer package into your project. A common approach is to use the following command in your composer.json file.

{
    "require": {
        "doctrine/common": "^3.1"
    }
}

You may also install it directly via the command line using Composer:

composer require doctrine/common

After incorporating the package, you can integrate its functionalities into your PHP code as needed. For instance, you may use its persistent collection interface to handle collections of data:

use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection;

class MyEntity
{
    private $myCollection;

    public function getMyCollection(): Collection
    {
        return $this->myCollection;
    }
}

Remember that the use of Doctrine Common will vary depending on your specific use case and the functionality that you intend to leverage.
