Creating multiple entities in one go programmatically

Hi,

We need to create around 200 User groups namely XYZ0001, XYZ0002 and so on..

I guess this can be achieved easily pro grammatically with a for loop, in a action function called by a controller.

Guess that this can be a modification or overriding User Bundle’s GroupController.php to include a custom action function and by implementing appropriate routes.

Could some one kindly point me to / help with the details as to how to implement this and what the code can be?

Thanks!
warm regards

Hello, spurgeonbj.

Well, you can do that in controller – you can look at demo data fixture for example

But it would be better to create data fixture for that and load it from console – this way you can easily reuse it and have all changes in one place.

Hi @Yevhen,

Greetings!

After saving our custom fixtures to lets say to vendor/oro/crm/src/OroCRM/Bundle/DemoDataBundle/Migrations/Data/Demo/ORM/LoadMyGroupData.php

how to load this from console?

is it using

app/console doctrine:fixtures:load

1	app/console doctrine:fixtures:load

?

How to load only this fixture, I dont want to add other demo data or loose other data.

Thank you!
warm regards

1) You can put it into separate directory (probably not in Migrations), and then run doctrine:fixtures:load with your directory as option “–fixtures” and “–append” option to do not purge DB.

2) If this fixture should be part of your regular installation, then you can move this fixture to Migration/Data/ORM directory and then run oro:migration:data:load to load your fixture.
