Factory

Each entity should have a factory that helps to generate a new entity. A factory must implements App\Core\Factory\FactoryInterface.

Implementation

A factory is basically a service which contain at lease a method named create.

// src/Factory/MyEntityFactory;
namespace App\Factory;

use App\Core\Factory\FactoryInterface;
use App\Entity\MyEntity;

class MyEntityFactory implements FactoryInterface
{
    public function create(/* specify parameters if needed */): MyEntity
    {
        return new MyEntity();
    }
}

Usage

// src/Controller/FooController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use App\Factory\MyEntityFactory;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class FooController
{
    public function foo(MyEntityFactory $factory): Response
    {
        $entity = $factory->create();

        // ...
    }
}
