Installation in Laravel 5+

Laravel Laravel Doctrine
5.1.* 1.0.*
5.2.* 1.1.*
5.3.* 1.2.*
5.4.* 1.3.*

Install this package with composer:

composer require "laravel-doctrine/orm:1.3.*"

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in config/app.php

LaravelDoctrine\ORM\DoctrineServiceProvider::class,

Optionally you can register the EntityManager, Registry and/or Doctrine facade:

'EntityManager' => LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Facades\EntityManager::class,
'Registry'      => LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Facades\Registry::class,
'Doctrine'      => LaravelDoctrine\ORM\Facades\Doctrine::class,

To publish the config use:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="config"

Available environment variables inside the config are: APP_DEBUG, DOCTRINE_METADATA, DB_CONNECTION, DOCTRINE_PROXY_AUTOGENERATE, DOCTRINE_LOGGER and DOCTRINE_CACHE

Important: By default, Laravel's application skeleton has its Model classes in the app/ folder. With Doctrine, you'll need to create a dedicated folder for your Entities and point your config/doctrine.php paths array to it. If you don't, Doctrine will scan your whole app/ folder for files, which will have a huge impact on performance!

'paths' => [
    base_path('app/Entities'),
],
