Help

The doctrine:mapping:import command imports mapping information
from an existing database:

Generate annotation mappings into the src/ directory using App as the namespace:
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import App\\Entity annotation --path=src/Entity

Generate xml mappings into the config/doctrine/ directory using App as the namespace:
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import App\\Entity xml --path=config/doctrine

Generate XML mappings into a bundle:
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import "MyCustomBundle" xml

You can also optionally specify which entity manager to import from with the
--em option:

php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import "MyCustomBundle" xml --em=default

If you don't want to map every entity that can be found in the database, use the
--filter option. It will try to match the targeted mapped entity with the
provided pattern string.

php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import "MyCustomBundle" xml --filter=MyMatchedEntity

Use the --force option, if you want to override existing mapping files:

php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import "MyCustomBundle" xml --force
