How can I store data in Array Collection with doctrine (Symfony 4)?

Question

My controller:

            /**
            * @Route("/row/{slug}/{connect}/{field}/{productgroup}", name="row", methods={"POST"})
            */

            public function row($slug, $connect, $field,$productgroup, Request $request) {

              $EntityName = 'App\\Entity\\' . ucwords($slug);
              $con = 'App\\Entity\\' . ucwords($connect);
              $entity = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository($EntityName)->findOneBy(['id' => $field]);
              $entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
              $argsId = $productgroup;
              $args = $entityManager->getReference($connect , $argsId);
              $entity->setProductgroup($args);

              $entityManager->flush();
              $response = new Response();
              $response->send();
              return $response;

            }

The error message:

Class 'Productgroup' does not exist

I cant tell you why there's an class error, but you can't pass an entity object to a method that expects an ArrayCollection, here :

/* args is not an ArrayCollection */
$args = $entityManager->getReference($connect , $argsId);
$entity->setProductgroup($args);

Maybe you should use addProductgroup().

If $argsId is an array of ids, you should get the reference of each one, and add the ghost objects to an ArrayCollection.

Thank you. Yes "add" was correct. See my working solution below – peace_love Feb 05 '19 at 09:34

working solution:

     /**
        * @Route("/row/{entity}/{relation}/{entity_id}/{relation_id}", name="row", methods={"POST"})
        */

        public function row($entity, $relation, $entity_id, $relation_id, Request $request) {

          $entity_name = 'App\\Entity\\' . ucwords($entity);
          $relation_name = 'App\\Entity\\' . ucwords($relation);

          $entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
          $enity_reference = $entityManager->getReference($entity_name, $entity_id);
          $relation_reference = $entityManager->getReference($relation_name, $relation_id);

          $func = 'add'.$relation;
          $enity_reference->$func($relation_reference);
          $entityManager->persist($enity_reference);
          $entityManager->persist($relation_reference);

          $entityManager->flush();
          $response = new Response();
          $response->send();
          return $response;

        }

I'm glad you find a solution, but without any explanation or context this answer doesn't help anybody else. — Stephan Vierkant, Mar 06 '19 at 11:30
