Usage

in your controller or service juste use the fileManager to get the db and absolute path to use to store your data.

        $fileSpec = $this->fileManager->getLocalFilename(
            ENTITY::PDFSTORAGENAME,
            $object,
            "pdf"
        );

• This function take a first parameter which is the name of the store. Une one store for each field in each entity. It's a good practice to set a constant in the entitiy Class
• The second parameter is an object ( good to have a getId on it but not required ). Optionnally you can have a getDateForFilename to get the date to use for creating the folders.
• The third optionnal parameter is the extension to add to the file ( default .bin). Don't set the .

The function return a FileSpec object with two attribute

• dbPath is the path to use to store in your database ( relative from the projectDir )
• absPath is the filename to use to write your data ( open it with standard functions )

Path are build this way ( $projectDir / data / $storeName / Y / M / D / $objet->getId() . $ext ) if the folder does not exist it is created with the right right. Y/M/D is the year, month and day from the $object->getDateForFilename() if it exist, instead it use the today date.

        file_put_contents($fileSpec->absPath,$youdata);
        $object->setLocalPdf($fileSpec->dbPath);
