Create and save entity

Create

• When creating new entity, mostly you need to construct it manually.
• Your data is from another database or API or csv or wherever. Quality may wary.
• So best approach is to validate all you can with objects.
• In this example we have property imdb and it needs to be in range from one digit to ten digits, rather than adding if conditions wherever we create entity we use ImdbId class to validate this rule and this helps to properly convert entity data to array.
• Example

$sqlData = $dibi->fetchRow();
$video = new \SpameriTests\Elastic\Data\Entity\Video(
	new \Spameri\Elastic\Entity\Property\EmptyElasticId(),
	new \SpameriTests\Elastic\Data\Entity\Video\Identification(
		new \SpameriTests\Elastic\Data\Entity\Property\ImdbId($sqlData['imdb'])
	)
);

Save

• Entity is created, validated and ready to be saved. Just pass entity to service. And done.

$videoService->insert($video);
