Can fixtures “copy” items from other fixtures?
Question
In my ACL fixtures I have resources and actions, most of the resources share common actions like CRUD, is there a way in Doctrine (yaml) to extend another element?
Here is a blurb from my current yaml:
Resource:
R1:
title: Article
system_name: ARTICLE
Actions:
A1:
title: Create
system_name: CREATE
A2:
title: Read
system_name: READ
A3:
title: Update
system_name: UPDATE
A4:
title: Delete
system_name: DELETE
How could I extend R1 with a new resource, called 'News article' for example, that would inherit A1 to A4 + include it's own actions?
Solution
"Anchors and Aliases" + Merge is the answer:

(Use http://instantyaml.appspot.com/ to see how the canonical YAML looks like)
Resource:
R1:
title: Article
system_name: ARTICLE
Actions: &id1
A1:
title: Create
system_name: CREATE
A2:
title: Read
system_name: READ
R2:
system_name: New ARTICLE
Actions:
<<: *id1
A5:
title: Drop
system_name: DROP
