Original Pull Request: https://github.com/doctrine/orm/pull/8266

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Support for Attribute Metadata Driver with PHP 8+

Note: For now the AttributeDriver does not support attribute overrides, association overrides, named queries, named native queries and sql resultset mapping, because of missing nested attributes support. This is not a big problem, because these are quite edge case features some of which we have thought about removing anyways. As for the overwrites, we should think of a solution in the near future.

A few other deviations from the Annotation based Driver:

Instead of @JoinTable holding join columns and inverse join columns as a property, you use #[ORM\JoinColumn] and #[ORM\InverseJoinColumn] on the top level.
Instead of @Table holding indexes and unique constraints, these are also attributes on the top level of a declaration.

Todos:

Actually run this against a php 8 build
Adjust tests to make this running
Adjust annotation / attribute classes to make use of named annotation support in doctrine/annotations v1.11
Add reference section in the docs
Integrate with https://github.com/doctrine/annotations/pull/402

Fixes #8265
