UnitOfWork Pattern - Enterprise Transaktionsmanagement

Das UnitOfWork Pattern bietet transaktionale Entity-Verwaltung mit automatischer Change Detection und Bulk Operations für optimale Performance.

🏗️ Architektur

Core Components

UnitOfWork
├── ChangeTracker (WeakMap-basiert)
│   ├── EntityState (Enum)
│   ├── Entity State Tracking
│   └── Change Detection
├── BulkOperations
│   ├── Bulk INSERT
│   ├── Bulk UPDATE  
│   └── Bulk DELETE
└── Transaction Management
    ├── Auto-Commit Mode
    ├── Explicit Transactions
    └── Rollback Safety

Entity States

enum EntityState: string
{
    case NEW = 'new';           // Entity should be inserted
    case CLEAN = 'clean';       // Entity is unchanged  
    case DIRTY = 'dirty';       // Entity should be updated
    case DELETED = 'deleted';   // Entity should be deleted
    case DETACHED = 'detached'; // Entity not tracked
}

🚀 Verwendung

Grundlegende Operationen

// Zugriff über EntityManager
$unitOfWork = $entityManager->unitOfWork;

// Entity für INSERT registrieren
$user = new User('John', 'john@example.com');
$unitOfWork->persist($user);

// Entity für UPDATE (automatische Change Detection)
$existingUser->setName('Jane');
$unitOfWork->merge($existingUser);

// Entity für DELETE registrieren
$unitOfWork->remove($obsoleteUser);

Auto-Commit vs. Explicit Transactions

// Auto-Commit Mode (Standard) - Sofortige Persistierung
$unitOfWork->persist($user);        // ← Sofort committed
$unitOfWork->remove($oldUser);      // ← Sofort committed

// Explicit Transaction Mode
$unitOfWork->setAutoCommit(false);
$unitOfWork->persist($user1);       
$unitOfWork->persist($user2);
$unitOfWork->remove($oldUser);
$unitOfWork->commit();              // ← Alles in einer Transaktion

Transactional Callback Pattern

// Automatisches Transaction Management
$entityManager->transactional(function($em) {
    $em->unitOfWork->persist($user1);
    $em->unitOfWork->persist($user2);
    $em->unitOfWork->remove($oldUser);
    
    if ($someCondition) {
        throw new \Exception('Rollback!'); // ← Automatischer Rollback
    }
    // ← Automatischer Commit bei erfolgreichem Ende
});

⚡ Performance Features

Bulk Operations (Automatisch)

// Automatische Bulk Operations bei >1 Entity desselben Typs
$users = [new User('A'), new User('B'), new User('C')];

$unitOfWork->setAutoCommit(false);
foreach ($users as $user) {
    $unitOfWork->persist($user);    // Sammelt Entities
}
$unitOfWork->commit();              // ← Bulk INSERT in einem Query

// Ergebnis: INSERT INTO users (name) VALUES ('A'), ('B'), ('C')
// Statt: 3x einzelne INSERT Statements

Smart Change Detection

// Automatische Dirty Detection
$user = $entityManager->find(User::class, 1);  // ← CLEAN state
$user->setName('New Name');                     // ← Noch CLEAN
$unitOfWork->merge($user);                      // ← Automatisch DIRTY

// Oder explizit
$unitOfWork->detectChanges();                   // ← Prüft alle Entities

🔧 Advanced Features

Manual Entity State Management

// Entity State abfragen
$state = $unitOfWork->getChangeTracker()->getEntityState($user);

// Entity detachen (nicht mehr verfolgen)
$unitOfWork->detach($user);

// Prüfen ob Entity verwaltet wird
$isManaged = $unitOfWork->contains($user);

// Alle Changes prüfen
$hasChanges = $unitOfWork->getChangeTracker()->hasAnyChanges();

Flush ohne Commit

// Changes in DB schreiben, aber Transaktion offen lassen
$unitOfWork->setAutoCommit(false);
$unitOfWork->persist($user);
$unitOfWork->flush();               // ← SQL ausgeführt, nicht committed

// Später...
$unitOfWork->persist($anotherUser);
$unitOfWork->commit();              // ← Beide Entities committed

Rollback Handling

try {
    $unitOfWork->setAutoCommit(false);
    $unitOfWork->persist($user);
    $unitOfWork->persist($problematicUser);
    $unitOfWork->commit();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    $unitOfWork->rollback();        // ← Automatisches Rollback
    // Entities kehren zu ursprünglichem State zurück
}

📊 Monitoring & Debug

Statistics

$stats = $unitOfWork->getStats();
/*
Array:
├── change_tracker
│   ├── total_tracked: 15
│   ├── new_entities: 3
│   ├── dirty_entities: 2
│   ├── deleted_entities: 1
│   └── has_changes: true
├── in_transaction: false
├── auto_commit: true
└── identity_map
    ├── total_entities: 42
    └── memory_usage: "2.1MB"
*/

// ChangeTracker Details
$changeStats = $unitOfWork->getChangeTracker()->getStats();

// Alle verwalteten Entities
$trackedEntities = $unitOfWork->getChangeTracker()->getAllTrackedEntities();

Comprehensive EntityManager Stats

$stats = $entityManager->getComprehensiveStats();
/*
Array:
├── identity_map: {...}
├── unit_of_work: {...}
├── lazy_loader: {...}
└── connection_pool: {...}
*/

🎯 Performance Optimizations

Bulk Operation Thresholds

Die UnitOfWork verwendet automatisch Bulk Operations:

• Single Entity: Normale INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
• Multiple Entities: Bulk Operations mit optimierten Queries

-- Bulk INSERT (3 Users)
INSERT INTO users (name, email) VALUES 
  ('User A', 'a@example.com'),
  ('User B', 'b@example.com'), 
  ('User C', 'c@example.com');

-- Bulk UPDATE (5 Users)
UPDATE users SET 
  name = CASE id 
    WHEN 1 THEN 'New Name A'
    WHEN 2 THEN 'New Name B'
    WHEN 3 THEN 'New Name C'
    END,
  email = CASE id
    WHEN 1 THEN 'new_a@example.com'
    WHEN 2 THEN 'new_b@example.com'
    WHEN 3 THEN 'new_c@example.com'
    END
WHERE id IN (1, 2, 3);

-- Bulk DELETE (10 Users)
DELETE FROM users WHERE id IN (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10);

Memory Optimization

// WeakMaps für automatisches Cleanup
$unitOfWork->getChangeTracker()->clear();  // Tracked entities löschen

// Komplettes UnitOfWork Reset
$unitOfWork->clear();  // Alles zurücksetzen + Rollback

🛡️ Best Practices

Transaction Patterns

// ✅ Gutes Pattern - Kurze Transaktionen
$entityManager->transactional(function($em) {
    $em->unitOfWork->persist($user);
    $em->unitOfWork->remove($oldUser);
    // Schnell und atomar
});

// ❌ Schlechtes Pattern - Lange Transaktionen
$unitOfWork->setAutoCommit(false);
foreach ($thousands_of_users as $user) {
    $unitOfWork->persist($user);
    // Langsame externe API calls...
    processUser($user);
}
$unitOfWork->commit(); // Sehr lange Transaction!

Batch Processing

// ✅ Batch Processing mit Teilcommits
$users = getAllUsers(); // 10,000 Users
$batchSize = 100;

for ($i = 0; $i < count($users); $i += $batchSize) {
    $batch = array_slice($users, $i, $batchSize);
    
    $entityManager->transactional(function($em) use ($batch) {
        foreach ($batch as $user) {
            $user->setProcessed(true);
            $em->unitOfWork->merge($user);
        }
    });
    
    // Zwischencommit alle 100 Entities
    echo "Processed " . ($i + $batchSize) . " users\n";
}

Error Handling

// ✅ Robustes Error Handling
try {
    $entityManager->transactional(function($em) use ($users) {
        foreach ($users as $user) {
            $this->validateUser($user);     // Kann Exception werfen
            $em->unitOfWork->persist($user);
        }
    });
    
    $logger->info('Successfully processed ' . count($users) . ' users');
    
} catch (ValidationException $e) {
    $logger->error('Validation failed: ' . $e->getMessage());
    // UnitOfWork rollback automatisch durch transactional()
    
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    $logger->error('Unexpected error: ' . $e->getMessage());
    throw $e; // Re-throw nach Logging
}

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

// Entity nicht tracked?
if (!$unitOfWork->contains($entity)) {
    $unitOfWork->merge($entity);  // Entity als managed registrieren
}

// Changes nicht erkannt?
$unitOfWork->detectChanges();     // Manuelle Change Detection

// Memory Issues?
$unitOfWork->clear();             // Alle Entities detachen

// Transaction Issues?
$stats = $unitOfWork->getStats();
if ($stats['in_transaction']) {
    $unitOfWork->rollback();      // Clean slate
}

Debug Information

// Entity State Debug
$state = $unitOfWork->getChangeTracker()->getEntityState($user);
echo "User state: " . $state->value;

// Tracked Entities Overview
foreach ($unitOfWork->getChangeTracker()->getAllTrackedEntities() as $item) {
    printf("Entity: %s, State: %s\n", 
           $item['entity']::class, 
           $item['state']->value);
}

// Performance Monitoring
$start = microtime(true);
$unitOfWork->commit();
$duration = microtime(true) - $start;
echo "Commit took: " . ($duration * 1000) . "ms\n";
