doctrine/persistence 3.2.0

The Doctrine Persistence package is a part of the Doctrine Project which offers a set of shared interfaces and practical features that various Doctrine object mappers can utilize. The primary functionality of Doctrine Persistence is to provide a common abstraction layer for the persistence of object mappers, a highly significant process in object-relational mapping and database interaction within PHP applications.

Implementing Doctrine Persistence within your PHP project is quite straightforward. First, you'll need to add Doctrine Persistance to your composer.json file, which can be accomplished by running the command: composer require doctrine/persistence. The package exposes interfaces like ObjectManager and ObjectRepository that you can utilize in your PHP classes. A simple example could be:

<?php
use Doctrine\Persistence\ObjectManager;

class MyClass {
    private $objectManager;

    public function __construct(ObjectManager $objectManager) 
    {
        $this->objectManager = $objectManager;
    }

    // Other methods can use $this->objectManager to interact with the database.
}

Remember that with Doctrine, your data is persisted by mapping PHP objects to database rows. This concept is advantageous because it provides a consistent programming experience regardless of the database type being used.

For comprehensive information, guides and usage examples of doctrine/persistence, refer to the official Doctrine Persistence documentation within the Doctrine Project's website. The documentation provides a detailed overview of the library's functionality and covers all necessary steps from installation to advanced uses of the Doctrine Persistence project.
