Architecture¶

For more information about our position regarding the price architecture, you can read: Currency.

Presentation¶

Price bundle handles everything related to prices, (right now, only currencies, but it will soon be extended to add taxes, ...)

Installation¶

This central e-commerce bundle requires you add a bcscale method in your AppKernel.php file to ensure that prices are correctly computed. Please, update your AppKernel.php file like this:

<?php

// ...

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function init()
    {
        bcscale(3); // or any other value greater than 0

        ...

Configuration¶

Price bundle configuration is as follows:

sonata_price:
    currency: EUR # Or any valid value according ISO 4217 standard
doctrine:
    dbal:
        # ...

        types:
            currency: Sonata\Component\Currency\CurrencyDoctrineType

You can also change the services class (defined as parameters):

• sonata.price.currency.detector.class for the currency detector
• sonata.price.currency.manager.class for the currency manager (finding the CurrencyInterface item matching the currency label)

As you may see in the sample configuration, we defined a new doctrine field type to store currencies in database.
