Abstract Entities and Repositories

The bundle provides a series of abstract entities.

Entity\AbstractCustomEntity

This entity implements the basic interfaces that are used in Akeneo. It defines a "code" property which is used throughout the PIM as a reference.

The repositories for this type of entity should extend Pim\Bundle\CustomEntityBundle\Entity\Repository\CustomEntityRepository.

Entity\AbstractTranslatableCustomEntity

This entity extends the AbstractCustomEntity, and provides a link to a translation entity. This is used to provide a different label for each activated locale.

The entity containing the translations should implement Akeneo\Tool\Component\Localization\Model\TranslatableInterface.

The repositories for this type of entity should extend Pim\Bundle\CustomEntityBundle\Entity\Repository\TranslatableCustomEntityRepository.

Entity\AbstractCustomOption (deprecated)

This entity should be used when a custom attribute should be linked to the entity.

The repositories for this entity should extend Pim\Bundle\CustomEntityBundle\Entity\Repository\CustomOptionRepository.

Entity\AbstractTranslatableCustomOption (deprecated)

This entity should be used when a custom attribute should be linked to the entity, and when some properties of the entity have to be localized.

The entity containing the translations should extend Pim\Bundle\CustomEntityBundle\Entity\AbstractCustomOptionTranslation

The repositories for this entity should extend Pim\Bundle\CustomEntityBundle\Entity\Repository\TranslatableCustomOptionRepository.
