How to Register custom DQL Functions

Doctrine allows you to specify custom DQL functions. For more information on this topic, read Doctrine’s cookbook article “DQL User Defined Functions”.

In Symfony, you can register your custom DQL functions as follows:

        dql:
            string_functions:
                test_string: App\DQL\StringFunction
                second_string: App\DQL\SecondStringFunction
            numeric_functions:
                test_numeric: App\DQL\NumericFunction
            datetime_functions:
                test_datetime: App\DQL\DatetimeFunction

    ],

注釈

In case the entity_managers were named explicitly, configuring the functions with the ORM directly will trigger the exception Unrecognized option "dql" under "doctrine.orm". The dql configuration block must be defined under the named entity manager.
