The table contains a primary key with the id identi er as the primary. In our
controller, we will count how many rows are in the table with the following
query:
<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractC
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

// Include class of the entity (table) that you want to

use App\Entity\Articles;

class AdminController extends AbstractController

{
public function index()
{
// 1. Obtain doctrine manager
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

// 2. Setup repository of some entity

$repoArticles = $em->getRepository(Articles::cl

// 3. Query how many rows are there in the Arti

$totalArticles = $repoArticles->createQueryBuil
// Filter by some parameter if you want
// ->where('a.published = 1')
->select('count(a.id)')
->getQuery()
->getSingleScalarResult();

// 4. Return a number as response

// e.g 972
return new Response($totalArticles);
}
}

Note that we are not calling absolutely all the information from the table, but
just the count instruction that will count how many elds do have the id eld.
The getSingleScalarResult function retrieves a single scalar value from the
result returned by the dbms. If the result contains more than a single scalar
value, an exception is thrown. The pure/mixed distinction does not apply.

Happy coding !
