Custom Expression

The CustomExpression value resolver allows you to define a custom DQL expression to get the value from the source entity. This is useful when you need to perform complex calculations to get the value.

use Doctrine\DBAL\Types\Types;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Rekalogika\Analytics\Core\Metadata as Analytics;
use Rekalogika\Analytics\Core\ValueResolver\CustomExpression;

#[ORM\Entity()]
#[Analytics\Summary(
    sourceClass: Order::class,
)]
class OrderSummary extends Summary
{
    #[ORM\Column(enumType: Gender::class, nullable: true)]
    #[Analytics\Dimension(
        source: new CustomExpression("
            CASE
                WHEN [customer.*] INSTANCE OF Rekalogika\Analytics\Tests\App\Entity\IndividualCustomer
                THEN [customer(Rekalogika\Analytics\Tests\App\Entity\IndividualCustomer).gender]

                ELSE NULLIF('a','a')
            END
        "),
    )]
    private ?Gender $customerGender = null;
}

With the above code, if the customer is an IndividualCustomer, it will record their gender. Otherwise, gender is not applicable, and we set it to null.

The expressions enclosed in square brackets [...] are property paths, and will be replaced by the real DQL expression.
