- Troubleshooting
- ===============
- The toString method
- -------------------
- Sometimes the bundle needs to display your model objects, in order to do it, objects are converted to string by using the `__toString`_ magic method.
- Take care to never return anything else than a string in this method.
- For example, if your method looks like that :
- .. code-block:: php
- public function __toString()
- {
- return $this->getTitle();
- }
- You can't be sure your object will *always* have a title when the bundle will want to convert it to a string.
- So in order to avoid any fatal error, you must return an empty string (or anything you prefer) for when the title is missing, like this :
- .. code-block:: php
- public function __toString()
- {
- return $this->getTitle() ?: '';
- }
- .. _`__toString`: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php#object.tostring
