Conclusion
This chapter is probably the most intense chapter so far but it is a good one. We learned a little about how to use models, how to generate models from existing databases, how to write our own models, and how to maintain our models as YAML schema files. We also modified our Doctrine test environment to implement some functionality for loading models from our models directory.
This topic of Doctrine models is so large that it warranted the chapters being split in to three pieces to make it easier on the developer to absorb all the information. In the next chapter we will really get in to the API we use to define our models.
