Access entityManager in Controller?

[czcpf]

Hello,

I know its not good practice to access entityManager in a controller but I'm wondering what is the suggested way to do so? It seems $this->entityManager is deprecated in Controller in my version of Espo.

namespace Espo\Custom\Controllers;

use Espo\Core\{
Exceptions\BadRequest,
Api\Request,
Api\Response,
Exceptions\ForbiddenSilent,
ORM\Entity
};
use stdClass;​

class MyCustomController extends \Espo\Core\Templates\Controllers\Base
{​
public function postActionMyCustomAction(Request $request, Response $response): ?stdClass
{
$this->entityManager //deprecated ?
}

}

Hi,

The answer is not to extend controllers but use an Action Class. Or a custom controller.

Thanks. I suppose in my case, the action only applies to a custom entity I created. The framework already creates a controller for it so I'm not quite understanding why I would create another custom controller just to access entity-manager.

I ended up just creating a business class to handle what I needed to do with entityManager and called it in the controller. Thanks.
