php-decimal.io Doctrine Type

The missing link between Doctrine and php-decimal.io.

Installation

You require at least PHP 8.0, decimal extension and php-decimal library (installed via composer).

To install this library just type:

composer require idct-tech/php-decimal-io-dbal

Then in your doctrine configuration be sure to set up the mapping:
https://www.doctrine-project.org/projects/doctrine-orm/en/2.9/cookbook/custom-mapping-types.html

In Symfony 4+, 5+ you can set this up in your config/packages/doctrine.yaml:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        types:
            php_decimal_io:  IDCT\Dbal\PhpDecimalIoType\PhpDecimalIoType

Usage

In your field declarations use type php_decimal_io, for example:

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="php_decimal_io"))
     */
    private Decimal $totalStake;

Precision is set to 65 which means that maximum number of digits which can be stored is 65.
