Controller does not read the method from the Repository

Question

Good afternoon, I have this issue where the Admin Controller is not reading the method findBynom from the UserRepository even everything is included here is my code:

here is the UserRepository:

  <?php

namespace App\Repository;

use App\Entity\User;
use Doctrine\Bundle\DoctrineBundle\Repository\ServiceEntityRepository;
use Doctrine\ORM\OptimisticLockException;
use Doctrine\ORM\ORMException;
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\ResultSetMapping;
use Doctrine\Persistence\ManagerRegistry;

/**
 * @method User|null find($id, $lockMode = null, $lockVersion = null)
 * @method User|null findOneBy(array $criteria, array $orderBy = null)
 * @method User[]    findAll()
 * @method User[]    findBy(array $criteria, array $orderBy = null, $limit = null, $offset = null)
 */
class UserRepository extends ServiceEntityRepository
{
    public function __construct(ManagerRegistry $registry)
    {
        parent::__construct($registry, User::class);
    }


    /**
     * @param $type
     * @return int|mixed|string
     */

    public function findBynom($type)
    {
        return $this->createQueryBuilder('p')
            ->Where('p.fullname LIKE :type')
            ->setParameter('type','%'.$type.'%')
            ->getQuery()
            ->getResult()
            ;
    }
    public function findByMail($type)
    {
        return $this->createQueryBuilder('p')
            ->Where('p.email LIKE :type')
            ->setParameter('type','%'.$type.'%')
            ->getQuery()
            ->getResult()
            ;
    }
  
    // /**
    //  * @return User[] Returns an array of User objects
    //  */
    /*
    public function findByExampleField($value)
    {
        return $this->createQueryBuilder('u')
            ->andWhere('u.exampleField = :val')
            ->setParameter('val', $value)
            ->orderBy('u.id', 'ASC')
            ->setMaxResults(10)
            ->getQuery()
            ->getResult()
        ;
    }
    */


    public function findOneBySomeField($value): ?User
    {
        return $this->createQueryBuilder('u')
            ->andWhere('u.activation_token = :val')
            ->setParameter('val', $value)
            ->getQuery()
            ->getOneOrNullResult()
        ;
    }

}

and here is the AdminController:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;
use App\Entity\User;
use App\Repository\UserRepository;
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;
use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Request;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;

    */

    public function index(UserRepository $users){
        return $this->render("admin/index.html.twig",[
            'users'=> $users->findAll()
        ]);
    }
    /**

    public function new(Request $request, UserRepository $userRepository): Response
        {
            $user = new User();
            $form = $this->createForm(UserType::class, $user);
            $form->handleRequest($request);
    
            if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {

                $Filename = md5(uniqid()).'.'.$file->guessExtension();

    }

thanks for your help! adzdafzferfzfaefzrfzrgd a aefzk ff ae ae ak,er ear ae rea rak aer !

Answer 1

Most likely you didn't specify UserRepository in annotations to your entity. Just declare the repositoryClass parameter in your entity

/** 
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass=UserRepository::class)
 */
class User  

Then you can get an instance of your repository:

$users = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository(User::class)->findBynom($searchString);

Or you can specify the UserRepository in an attribute of your method, after which the Dependency Injection Component will include it

/**
 * @Route("/searchuser", name="utilsearchuser")
 */
public function searchPlan($searchString, UserRepository $userRepository): JsonResponse
{
    $serializer = new Serializer([new ObjectNormalizer()]); 
    $users = $userRepository->findBynom($searchString);
    $data=$serializer->normalize($users);
    return new JsonResponse($data);

}
