(Symfony3) How to add a custom property to FOSUserBundle and persist it? - php

Question

I'm trying to add a custom property (psptCode) to my User entity, extending UserBundle.
This is my User class:
<?php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use FOS\UserBundle\Model\User as BaseUser;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Validator\Constraints\UniqueEntity;
use JMS\Serializer\Annotation as JMSSerializer;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\Collection;
use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;
use AppBundle\Model\UserInterface;
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="fos_user")
*
* #UniqueEntity("email")
* #UniqueEntity("username")
* #UniqueEntity("psptCode")
* #JMSSerializer\ExclusionPolicy("all")
* #JMSSerializer\AccessorOrder("custom", custom = {"id", "emailCanonical", "account"})
*/
class User extends BaseUser implements UserInterface
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")
* #JMSSerializer\Expose
* #JMSSerializer\Type("string")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #var string The canonical representation of the email of the user.
*
* #JMSSerializer\Expose
* #JMSSerializer\Type("string")
* #JMSSerializer\SerializedName("email")
* #JMSSerializer\Groups({"user_all", "user_summary"})
*/
protected $emailCanonical;
/**
* #var string
*
* #ORM\Column(type="string", name="pspt_code", length=16, nullable=true)
*/
private $psptCode;
/**
* #var Account The Pspt account related to this user, if any
*
* #ORM\OneToOne(targetEntity="Account")
* #ORM\JoinColumn(name="pspt_code", referencedColumnName="cli_id", nullable=true)
* #JMSSerializer\Expose
* #JMSSerializer\Type("AppBundle\Entity\Account")
* #JMSSerializer\Groups({"user_all"})
*/
protected $account;
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
}
/**
* #param $pspt_code
*
* Set the cli_id to retrieve the account, if any
* #return User
*/
public function setPsptCode($pspt_code)
{
$this->psptCode = $pspt_code;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get psptCode
* #return string
*/
public function getPsptCode()
{
return $this->psptCode;
}
}
When I create the database schema, my custom property gets created, but when I try to store a value into my custom property, it isn't persisted into the database:
$user = $this->userManager->createUser();
$user->setEnabled(true);
$user->setUsername('peter');
$user->setEmail('peter#test.com');
$user->setPlainPassword('testpass');
$user->setPsptCode('XXXXXXXXXX');
$this->userManager->updateUser($user);
The user gets stored like this:
AppBundle\Entity\User {#4041
#id: 1
#emailCanonical: "peter#test.com"
-psptCode: null
#account: null
#username: "peter"
#usernameCanonical: "peter"
#email: "peter#test.com"
#enabled: true
#salt: null
#password: "$2y$15$OJ4ynZmpBaDYbK7N.d35m.FdcSHGpZG7Yemcwxrg4kHhKzIyP3XOO"
#plainPassword: null
#lastLogin: null
#confirmationToken: null
#passwordRequestedAt: null
#groups: null
#roles: []
}
So, I'm unable to store my user's custom property.
Please help!
