Convert from Database / Excel / CSV to YAML data fixtures?

Was wondering if there is an easy to convert structured files into YAML data fixtures for Doctrine / Symfony.

I don't see any utility with Doctrine to accept CSV.

I might just start writing something simple to do this. Is it worthwhile?

Solution

  • I wrote my own Macro to solve this problem & shared it. You can specify the fields in your model, fill-out the data and the YAML is generated. The best part is that it supports Nested Data as well (based on NestedSet Doctrine Behaviour)

    Hope this helps!
