• Tree - this extension automates the tree handling process and adds some tree specific functions on repository. (closure, nestedset or materialized path)
• Translatable - gives you a very handy solution for translating records into different languages. Easy to setup, easier to use.
• Sluggable - urlizes your specified fields into single unique slug
• Timestampable - updates date fields on create, update and even property change.
• Blameable - updates string or reference fields on create, update and even property change with a string or object (e.g. user).
• Loggable - helps tracking changes and history of objects, also supports version management.
• Sortable - makes any document or entity sortable
• Translator - explicit way to handle translations
• SoftDeleteable - allows to implicitly remove records
• Uploadable - provides file upload handling in entity fields
• References - supports linking Entities in Documents and vice versa
• ReferenceIntegrity - constrains ODM MongoDB Document references
• IpTraceable - inherited from Timestampable, sets IP address instead of timestamp

We will reconsider this for 3.0.

We seem well advised to wait how both projects progress:

Both projects look for maintainers.

Seems new things are on the way...

Great news everyone!

I took over KnpLabs\DoctrineBehaviors 3 weeks ago, version 2.0-alpha4 is out and being tested - https://github.com/KnpLabs/DoctrineBehaviors/releases/tag/v2.0.0-alpha4

Symfony 5 support, PHP 7.4 support, Rector, ECS, PHPStan in the CI and the usuall 2020 code quality stuffs 👍

@TomasVotruba thank you much for taking the time to write us. I look forward to seeing great progress!
