Since starting from PHP8.* types system become more stricter, and recent version focused on the language design, some of the old principles wont work as you used to them.
In you case, look at the parent class (Transformer::class), there you will find that property $availableIncludes declared with a type of array.
In your child class( UserTransformer::class) this declaration missing on type hint level, and it causes this exception. To fix it simply add a type to your array explicitly (no doc blocs and annotations). the end result will look:
class UserTransformer extends Transformer
{
protected array $availableIncludes = [
'roles','onTripRequest','metaRequest','favouriteLocations'
];
I'm using CakePHP version 4.2 and am noticing some odd behavior from the annotate script that comes bundled with the API. For one component, the annotate script wants to default to the App\ domain that is CakePHP's default. I've changed the application name so most other classes default to the correct application name. But not this one script and so far, only for this one file.
I've included the body of the component, for review, below. You can see that the #method annotation uses the App\ domain. The trouble comes in when I use PHPStan to analyze my code. If I leave the annotation as is, PHPStan will tell me:
------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Line src/Controller/Component/CartManagerComponent.php
------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
43 Property Visualize\Controller\Component\CartManagerComponent::$Controller (Visualize\Controller\AppController) does not accept App\Controller\AppController.
44 Call to method loadModel() on an unknown class App\Controller\AppController.
💡 Learn more at https://phpstan.org/user-guide/discovering-symbols

The file itself doesn't use the App\ domain anywhere. I'm not sure where to look for the script to figure out whats wrong. Here is the body of my component in case you see something I do not:

I was wondering if there is a way to search in entity without applying any filters. For Example I would like to build a textfiled in my template where a ajax post method is calling to a controller with purpose searching the whole entity.
My code:
$user = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository('AppBundle:QCE_SUBD')
->find('%'.$SearchParam.'%')
->getQuery();
$DSUB = $user->getArrayResult();
dump($DSUB);
I;m not sure how the function should be written, so if some one is willing to help it will be highly appreciate :)
You should just create a function that return a JsonResponse with an array of your result.
// In your controller
/**
* #Route("/ajax_action")
*/
public function ajaxAction(Request $request)
{
// Get the posted parameter from your ajax call
$searchParam = $request->get('searchParam');
// Request your entity
$user = $this->getDoctrine()
->getRepository('AppBundle:QCE_SUBD')
->createQueryBuilder('q')
->where('q.username LIKE :searchParam')
->orWhere('q.otherColumn LIKE :searchParam')
->setParameter('searchParam', '%'.$searchParam.'%')
->getQuery();
// Check if it's an ajax call
if ($request->isXMLHttpRequest()) {
return new JsonResponse($user->getArrayResult();
}
// Return an error
throw new \Exception('Wrong call!');
}
For the search part you need to implement a full text search, here is a tutorial on how to implement it :
http://ourcodeworld.com/articles/read/90/how-to-implement-fulltext-search-mysql-with-doctrine-and-symfony-3
P.S : You should be sure of what you need in your query. If you want it to be scalable, you should take a look at better search engine method as ElasticSearch or Solr.
You can inspire yourself from the following function. It iterates dynamically through all fields of the entity and depending on the type of the field a condition is applied to the query builder:
/**
* Creates the query builder used to get the results of the search query
* performed by the user in the "search" view with a given "keyword".
*
* #param array $entityConfig
* #param string $searchQuery
* #param string|null $sortField
* #param string|null $sortDirection
* #param string|null $dqlFilter
*
* #return DoctrineQueryBuilder
*/
public function createSearchQueryBuilder(array $entityConfig, $searchQuery, $sortField = null, $sortDirection = null, $dqlFilter = null)
{
/* #var EntityManager */
$em = $this->doctrine->getManagerForClass($entityConfig['class']);
/* #var DoctrineQueryBuilder */
$queryBuilder = $em->createQueryBuilder()
->select('entity')
->from($entityConfig['class'], 'entity')
;
$queryParameters = array();
foreach ($entityConfig['search']['fields'] as $name => $metadata) {
$isNumericField = in_array($metadata['dataType'], array('integer', 'number', 'smallint', 'bigint', 'decimal', 'float'));
$isTextField = in_array($metadata['dataType'], array('string', 'text', 'guid'));
if ($isNumericField && is_numeric($searchQuery)) {
$queryBuilder->orWhere(sprintf('entity.%s = :exact_query', $name));
// adding '0' turns the string into a numeric value
$queryParameters['exact_query'] = 0 + $searchQuery;
} elseif ($isTextField) {
$searchQuery = strtolower($searchQuery);
$queryBuilder->orWhere(sprintf('LOWER(entity.%s) LIKE :fuzzy_query', $name));
$queryParameters['fuzzy_query'] = '%'.$searchQuery.'%';
$queryBuilder->orWhere(sprintf('LOWER(entity.%s) IN (:words_query)', $name));
$queryParameters['words_query'] = explode(' ', $searchQuery);
}
}
if (0 !== count($queryParameters)) {
$queryBuilder->setParameters($queryParameters);
}
if (!empty($dqlFilter)) {
$queryBuilder->andWhere($dqlFilter);
}
if (null !== $sortField) {
$queryBuilder->orderBy('entity.'.$sortField, $sortDirection ?: 'DESC');
}
return $queryBuilder;

And search form:
$searchForm = $this->createFormBuilder()
->setMethod('POST')
->add('user_name', 'text', array('label' => 'User\'s name: ','attr' => array('placeholder' => 'Enter Users first or last name')))
->add('searchUsers', 'submit', array('label' => 'Search for employee'))
->getForm();
It should pop when first or last name is written after 3 letters.
Thank you in advance
I think this will help you:
Two things you need to do:
1) Create a Data Transformer
hich will let you use an input field instead of the default dropdown to the linked entity.
The Data Transformer basically transforms your input (in your case a username string) to actual user object that you can store with your entity. It will let you define an input field instead of the default dropdown to the linked entity. Have a look at the documentation, it's pretty straight forward.
2) Create the Ajax autocomplete
This can be done using any library you want (jQuery, Prototype etc.) on the client side, and server side you handle this in your Controller action and replies with either JSON or a rendered template. There are plenty of tutorials for this out there. The Ajax result could include a link to create a new user, if none is found.
The Data Transformer is what you need to focus on, and I would get that working before working on the UI.

$tagWeights[$tag] = (isset($tagWeights[$tag['tag']])) ? $tagWeights[$tag['tag']] + 1 : 1;
I get the following error:
ContextErrorException: Warning: Illegal offset type in /var/www/html/Satori/src/Symfony/AcmeBundle/Entity/TagRepository.php line 34
Question: What am I doing wrong here, I've dumped getTags() and there is data?
My process is getting tags then weighting the tags for popularity. Tag is setup as a ManyToMany/ManyToMany entity with a Blog entity.
getTags and getTagWeight methods (dumping $tags from getTags() returns an array of arrays)
array (size=6)
0 =>
array (size=1)
'tag' => string 'Tag 1' (length=5)
1 =>
array (size=1)
'tag' => string 'Tag 2' (length=5)
2 =>
array (size=1)
'tag' => string 'Tag 3' (length=5)
public function getTags()
{
$tags = $this->createQueryBuilder('t')
->select('t.tag')
->getQuery()
->getResult();
return $tags;
}
public function getTagWeights($tags)
{
$tagWeights = array();
if (empty($tags))
return $tagWeights;
foreach ($tags as $tag)
{
$tagWeights[$tag] = (isset($tagWeights[$tag['tag']])) ? $tagWeights[$tag['tag']] + 1 : 1;
}
// Shuffle the tags
uksort($tagWeights, function() {
return rand() > rand();
});
$max = max($tagWeights);
// Max of 5 weights
$multiplier = ($max > 5) ? 5 / $max : 1;
foreach ($tagWeights as &$tag)
{
$tag = ceil($tag * $multiplier);
}
return $tagWeights;
}
Controller
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$tags = $em->getRepository('AcmeBundle:Tag')
->getTags();
$tagWeights = $em->getRepository('AcmeBundle:Tag')
->getTagWeights($tags);
// var_dump($tagWeights); die();
return array(
'tags' => $tagWeights,
);
Tag entity
class Tag
{
/**
* #var integer
*
* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
*/
private $id;
/**
* #var string
*
* #ORM\Column(name="tag", type="string", length=255)
*/
private $tag;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToMany(targetEntity="Blog", mappedBy="tags")
*/
protected $blogs;
public function __construct()
{
$this->blogs = new ArrayCollection();
}
/**
* Get id
*
* #return integer
*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**
* Set tag
*
* #param string $tag
* #return Tag
*/
public function setTag($tag)
{
$this->tag = $tag;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get tag
*
* #return string
*/
public function getTag()
{
return $this->tag;
}
/**
* Add blogs
*
* #param \AcmeBundle\Entity\Blog $blogs
* #return Tag
*/
public function addBlog(\AcmeBundle\Entity\Blog $blogs)
{
$this->blogs[] = $blogs;
return $this;
}
/**
* Remove blogs
*
* #param \AcmeBundle\Entity\Blog $blogs
*/
public function removeBlog(\AcmeBundle\Entity\Blog $blogs)
{
$this->blogs->removeElement($blogs);
}
/**
* Get blogs
*
* #return \Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection
*/
public function getBlogs()
{
return $this->blogs;
}
}
This is how I am accessing tags in twig:
{% for tag, weight in tags %}
<span class="weight-{{ weight }}">{{ tag.tag }}</span>
{% else %}
<p>There are no tags</p>
{% endfor %}
From the documentation:
Arrays and objects can not be used as keys. Doing so will result in a warning: Illegal offset type.
You are trying to use $tag as key here:
$tagWeights[$tag] = (isset($tagWeights[$tag['tag']])) ? $tagWeights[$tag['tag']] + 1 : 1;
but because $tag is an array, you get an error.
I guess you wanted to do this:
$tagWeights[$tag['tag']] = (isset($tagWeights[$tag['tag']])) ? $tagWeights[$tag['tag']] + 1 : 1;
