Subconsulta con LIMIT en Doctrine

Puede agregar fácilmente su propia sintaxis a Doctrine para, por ejemplo, agregar LIMIT 1 a subconsultas, como Colin O'Dell explicó en su blog .

// AppBundle\DBAL\FirstFunction
<?php

use Doctrine\ORM\Query\AST\Functions\FunctionNode;
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\AST\Subselect;
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\Lexer;
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\Parser;
use Doctrine\ORM\Query\SqlWalker;

/**
 * FirstFunction ::=
 *     "FIRST" "(" Subselect ")"
 */
class FirstFunction extends FunctionNode
{
    /**
     * @var Subselect
     */
    private $subselect;

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function parse(Parser $parser)
    {
        $parser->match(Lexer::T_IDENTIFIER);
        $parser->match(Lexer::T_OPEN_PARENTHESIS);
        $this->subselect = $parser->Subselect();
        $parser->match(Lexer::T_CLOSE_PARENTHESIS);
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getSql(SqlWalker $sqlWalker)
    {
        return '(' . $this->subselect->dispatch($sqlWalker) . ' LIMIT 1)';
    }
}

# app/config/config.yml
doctrine:
    # ...
    orm:
        # ...
        dql:
            string_functions:
                FIRST: AppBundle\DBAL\FirstFunction

Utilizar de la siguiente manera:

$dqb->from('MyAppBundle:Foo', 'foo')
    ->leftJoin('foo.bar', 'bar', 'WITH', 'bar = FIRST(SELECT b FROM MyAppBundle:Bar b WHERE b.foo = foo AND b.published_date >= :now ORDER BY t.startDate)');
