- What is cuteninja/memoria-bundle?
- It provides a Symfony integration for the Memoria library, exposing Memoria services through the Symfony DI container and centralizing configuration. The package is a Symfony bundle, indicated by its -bundle suffix, config.yml convention, and container wiring. It is not a Laravel package.
- Is cuteninja/memoria-bundle a Laravel package?
- No. It is built around Symfony DI, Symfony Console, and almost certainly Doctrine DBAL or ORM. Laravel has no bundle concept, no config.yml convention, and no Doctrine default, so Laravel fit is approximately zero without a rewrite.
- Can I use Memoria Bundle in a Laravel application?
- Not practically as-is. Adopting it would require pulling in Symfony Console, the Symfony YAML component, Doctrine DBAL or ORM, and a bundle registration layer, creating a parallel persistence stack alongside Eloquent. The realistic path is a port of the config-driven fixture concept to Laravel-native seeders and factories or a small first-party package.
- How do I install cuteninja/memoria-bundle?
- It follows Symfony bundle installation conventions: require it via Composer, enable the bundle in your Symfony application, and configure it through config.yml. It is not installed through Laravel package discovery or a Laravel service provider. Verify PHP and Symfony version constraints and the license before installing.
- How is Memoria Bundle configured?
- Configuration is centralized through config.yml with sensible defaults, which is a Symfony convention rather than a Laravel one. It is unclear from the available information whether config.yml is consumed through a validated Symfony config tree or parsed ad hoc. Laravel applications have no config.yml convention, so this does not map cleanly.
- Does Memoria Bundle support Laravel 10, 11, or 12?
- No Laravel version support is indicated because the package is a Symfony bundle. Laravel version compatibility is therefore not applicable, and the relevant matrix would be PHP and Symfony majors. Those constraints are unknown from the available information and should be verified before any use.
- How do I test a Laravel app that uses Memoria Bundle?
- Testing would be difficult because there is no Laravel integration. You would need a parallel Doctrine connection and a Symfony container or Console shim, which makes tests brittle and unlike normal Laravel feature tests. Laravel-native seeders tested with RefreshDatabase or DatabaseTransactions are the safer approach.
- Is Memoria Bundle safe to use in production?
- Technical risk is high and mostly unquantifiable. The repository shows 0 stars, 0 dependents, no declared license, and no available CI or test coverage information. It is also unknown whether the loader wraps work in a transaction, truncates before insert, or has an environment guard preventing production execution. Do not run it against production until those concerns are resolved.
- What are Laravel alternatives to Memoria Bundle for fixtures and seeding?
- Laravel already provides database seeders, model factories, php artisan db:seed, and RefreshDatabase for tests. These are native, maintained by the framework team, and require no additional dependencies. If your team specifically needs declarative YAML fixture sets, a small internal Laravel package with a schema, registry, Artisan command, transaction-wrapped execution, and environment guard is the better fit.
- Is cuteninja/memoria-bundle actively maintained?
- The available signals suggest an internal utility rather than a community-supported library: 0 stars, 0 dependents, and no declared license. Release history, CI status, test coverage, and supported PHP and Symfony versions are unknown. If no license is declared, default copyright applies and reuse is not permitted without permission.
