php - How to set up entity (doctrine) for database view in Symfony 2

Question

Let's say I have a view table. And I want to get data from it to an entity. Can I (and how) create entity class to do that (no save operation needed)? I just want to display them.

Answer 1

The accepted answer is correct, but I'd like to offer some additional suggestions that you might want to consider:

Mark your entity as read-only.

Make the constructor private so that only Doctrine can create instances.

/**
 * @ORMEntity(readOnly=true)
 * @ORMTable(name="your_view_table")
 */
class YourEntity {
    private function __construct() {}
}
