Add inversedBy methods to existing OROCrm entity

Hi,

I’m testing OROCrm solution and the possibilty to extend it.
I’ve got a custom entityA who has a manyToOne relation to OroCRMContact. The goal is to have all methods / relation in the ownerSide of my Doctrine entityA (not complex as Doctrine management) and all methods in the inverseSide too (OROCrmContact).

My test : use extendExtension while migration:load

PHP

$this->extendExtension->addOneToManyRelation( $schema, $tableContact, 'relationNameOf_SelfTable', 'selfTable', ['field_number'], ['field_number', 'value'], ['field_number'], [ 'extend' => [ 'is_extend' => true, 'without_default' => true ] ] );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

$this->extendExtension->addOneToManyRelation(             $schema,             $tableContact,             'relationNameOf_SelfTable',             'selfTable',             ['field_number'],             ['field_number', 'value'],             ['field_number'],             [                 'extend' => [                     'is_extend' => true,                     'without_default' => true                 ]             ]         );

In this test :
i can’t control naming convention of foreignKey and onDelete default parameter too and synchronize method

Should i use inverse method as

PHP

$this->extendExtension->addManyToOneRelation( $schema, 'entityA_Table', 'nameOfRelation_EntityA', 'orocrm_contact', 'last_name', [ 'extend' => [ 'is_extend' => true, 'without_default' => true ] ] );

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

$this->extendExtension->addManyToOneRelation(             $schema,             'entityA_Table',             'nameOfRelation_EntityA',             'orocrm_contact',             'last_name',             [                 'extend' => [                     'is_extend' => true,                     'without_default' => true                 ]             ]         );

But its not a doctrine best practice to define inverseSide.
???

Or use define entityA as Target Associations (likes notes / activities) ?

Thanks for your advices

I think its not possible yet : http://oroinc.com/orocrm/doc/current/book/entities#managing-entity-relations

“The downside of this approach is that the owning side of a relationship always has to be an extended entity and that associations do not work for bidirectional relations.”

Perhaps its plan for evolution : http://oroinc.com/orocrm/forums/topic/many-to-many-relation-between-user-and-custom-entities/#post-13467

Hi Geoffroy,

You are correct; this is currently not possible because of an issue. We are going to fix it within our upcoming 1.9 release though, so please follow our updates. I will keep you posted in this topic, too.

Thank you.
