Generating new entities in Symfony4 controller
I'm trying to generate new entities in a controller in Symfony 4. After generating those, I want to create a database schema based on the entities. But I'm stuck at the first step.
There was this Bundle called SensioGeneratorBundle. This Bundle had the option to generate a entity in the console with using the --no-interaction option and passing a --fields string with the wanted fields and types (here's the guide).
By following this guide, it would've been easy to run the console-command in the controller with the fields and types.
However the SensioGeneratorBundle is now deprecated and not in use for Symfony 4. They replaced it with SymfonyMakerBundle. This cli does have the --no-interaction option, but it doesn't accept the --fields option. When the console-command is started it asks the user interactively to enter the fieldnames and types, which I don't know how to do in the controller. There is this little guide about testing commands with expected input. However this is for testing and I'm not sure if this would be appropriate in a controller.
So I'm stuck at generating entities with no fields.
Does anybody know if there's a workaround? I was thinking of writing a own Maker (guide), but maybe somebody already encountered this problem.

If you know everything that will be going into a new entity, you can just write a file to disk with everything that would be in class that you could write manually.
