Session: Storing Entities

To store entities inside the session object, use one of the three store methods.

Syntax

First overload: Stores the entity in a session, then extracts the ID from the entity or generates a new one if it's not available.

public function store(?object $entity): void;

Second overload: Stores the entity in a session with given ID.

public function store(?object $entity, ?string $id): void;

Third overload: Stores the entity in a session with given ID, forces concurrency check with given change vector.

public function store(?object $entity, ?string $id, ?string $changeVector): void;

Example

$employee = new Employee();
$employee->setFirstName("John");
$employee->setLastName("Doe");

// generate Id automatically
$session->store($employee);

// send all pending operations to server, in this case only `Put` operation
$session->saveChanges();
