I have my User linked to Event entity. Basically, users may wanna go to several events and, through a many to many, I'm registering who want to go to X event.
I need to build a Query with Doctrine that pick up users if they are available (available set to 1) OR if they plan on going to an event depending on their location ( I got this one too ). The first conditions is fine. But for the second one, I need to make sure that the user has at least one event he wants to go to, registered in the many to many relation: eventNotified.
In Php I would do a foreach loop and then condition if the $user->getEventNotified() is not an empty array ( or null ) but that would make me pull up too many results. I want to select it with SQL or DQL
How can I do that?
Here is what I have achieved so far, I just need to add a OR condition if the user wants to go an event (is eventNotified not null ?):
//We only want to return users nearby who are available OR who
$qb = $this->_em->getRepository( 'Entity\User' )->createQueryBuilder('a');
$qb->andwhere( 'a.latitude > :minLat' );
$qb->andWhere( 'a.latitude < :maxLat' );
$qb->andWhere( 'a.longitude > :minLng' );
$qb->andWhere( 'a.longitude < :maxLng' );
$qb->andWhere( 'a.available = 1' );
$qb->add( 'orderBy', $qb->expr()->sum( 'a.latitude - :lat', 'a.longitude - :lng' ));
$array = array(
'minLat' => $minLat,
'maxLat' => $maxLat,
'minLng' => $minLng,
'maxLng' => $maxLng,
'lat' => $lat,
'lng' => $lng
);
$qb->setParameters( $array );
// $qb->setFirstResult( $offset );
// $qb->setMaxResults( $limit );
// print_r(array(
// 'sql' => $qb->getQuery()->getSQL(),
// 'parameters' => $qb->getQuery()->getParameters(),
// ));
$usersNearby = $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
return $usersNearbt;
And here is my user entity:
class User
{

EDIT:
Thanks to the solution below I had it working with a little tweak ( and a few optimisations ):
$qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
$qb->select( 'USER', 'EVENT', 'c', 'p' )
->from( 'Entity\User', 'USER' )
->innerJoin( 'USER.eventNotified', 'EVENT' )
->leftJoin( 'EVENT.categories', 'c' )
->leftJoin( 'EVENT.place', 'p' )
->add('where', $qb->expr()->andX(
$qb->expr()->between('USER.latitude', ':minLat', ':maxLat'),
$qb->expr()->between('USER.longitude', ':minLng', ':maxLng')
)
)
->add( 'orderBy', $qb->expr()->sum( 'USER.latitude - :lat', 'USER.longitude - :lng' ) );
$array = array(
'minLat' => $minLat,
'maxLat' => $maxLat,
'minLng' => $minLng,
'maxLng' => $maxLng,
'lat' => $lat,
'lng' => $lng
);
$qb->setParameters( $array );
$usersNearby = $qb->getQuery()->getResult();
You need to join to the ManyToMany entity. If the user hasn't got any Event related (by your User.eventNotified property), he/she won't be retrieved. I also would build the where conditions using the Expr class ofered by QueryBuilder:
$qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
$qb->select( 'USER' )
->from( 'Entity\User', 'USER' )
->innerJoin( 'USER.eventNotified' )
->where(
$qb->expr()->andX(
$qb->expr()->gt( 'USER.latitude', ':minLat' ),
$qb->expr()->lt( 'USER.latitude', ':maxLat' ),
$qb->expr()->gt( 'USER.longitude', ':minLng' ),
$qb->expr()->lt( 'USER.longitude', ':maxLng' ),
$qb->expr()->eq( 'USER.available', 1 )
)
);
(...) //orderBy and parameters
Check the QueryBuilder documentation.
