08 - Add a custom entity Location

[luca-rath]

Add a custom entity Location

Goal

We are managing more and more events that take place at the same location. Because our content managers do not want
to enter the same location information over and over again we would like to provide a central place for managing the
locations of our events.

As this task is quite complex, we are going to break down the requirements into smaller pieces and multiple
assignments. In this assignment, we want to add a new Location entity to our database model.

Steps

• Follow the symfony best practices to add a Location entity with the following properties:
  • name
  • street
  • city
  • countryCode
• Don't forget to run bin/adminconsole doctrine:schema:update --force

Hints

• Use bin/adminconsole make:entity Location
• https://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html#creating-an-entity-class
• Run bin/adminconsole doctrine:schema:validate

More Information

This assignment is purely based on Symfony. No Sulu knowledge required ;-)
