This means, it will not support any new SF4 features anymore. So from now on, I suggest using the new SF4 for long-term projects, as I will not be able to add any new (SF4) features to this boilerplate/starter kit. However, I may prepare a similar starter kit for SF4 in the near future, so stay tuned.** A simple web application boilerplate for small or mid scale applications. Included: - Users system - Login - Logout - Register - Reset password - Basic profile - Settings / edit profile - Change password - Basic user roles system - ability to assign roles for each user - Administration - Users - View - Edit - Switch / impersonate - Remove - User actions - Posts - Tools - Email preview - you are able to view the email templates while working on them (without the need of sending test emails to yourself for every change) - Database backup - backup and restore your database schema - Errors / exceptions tracking - save the exceptions / errors directly to the database and / or send emails when an error happened - Statistics - Settings Requirements & Tools & Helpers -------------------------------------- [](#requirements--tools--helpers) - PHP > 7.0 - [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) - [Bower](http://bower.io/) - [PHP Coding Standards Fixer](http://cs.sensiolabs.org/) (optional) Setup / Development ------------------- [](#setup--development) - Navigate your your web directory: `cd /var/www` - Create a new project: `composer create-project bobalazek/web-application-starter-kit myapp --no-scripts` - Navigate inside the application `cd myapp` - Configure database (and maybe other stuff if you want) - copy/clone [app/configs/global-local.example.php](https://github.com/bobalazek/web-application-starter-kit/blob/master/app/configs/global-local.example.php) into `app/configs/global-local.php` and set the config there. Alternatively, you can also do the same with [.env.example](https://github.com/bobalazek/web-application-starter-kit/blob/master/.env.example), if you only want to change the basics (database configuration & environment). - Run the following commands: - `composer install` - `bin/console orm:schema-tool:update --force` (to install the database schema) - `bower update` (to install the front-end dependencies - you will need to install [Bower](http://bower.io/) first - if you haven't already) - `bin/console application:database:hydrate-data` (to hydrate some data) - You are done! Start developing! Database -------- [](#database) - We use the Doctrine database - Navigate to your project directory: `cd /var/www/myapp` - Check the entities: `bin/console orm:info` (optional) - Update the schema: `bin/console orm:schema-tool:update --force` - Database updated! Deployment ---------- [](#deployment) - We use [Deployer](https://deployer.org/) - Set your configuration inside `deployer/config.php` and `deployer/hosts.php` - Run `dep deploy qa` (or whatever environment you want) - The app was deployed to your server! Application name ---------------- [](#application-name) You should replace the name for your actual application inside the following files: - README.md - bower.json - composer.json - phpunit.xml - app/configs/global.php Administrator login ------------------- [](#administrator-login) With the `bin/console application:database:hydrate-data` command, you will, per default hydrate 2 users (which you can change inside the `app/fixtures/users.php` file): - Admin User (with admin permissions) - Username: `admin` or `admin@myapp.com` - Password: `test` - Test User (with the default user permissions) - Username: `test` or `test@myapp.com` - Password: `test` Commands -------- [](#commands) - `bin/console application:environment:prepare` - Will create the global-local.php and development-local.php files (if they do not exist) - `bin/console application:database:hydrate-data [-r|--remove-existing-data]` - Will hydrate the tables with some basic data, like: 2 users and 6 roles (the `--remove-existing-data` flag will truncate all tables before re-hydrating them) - `bin/console application:storage:prepare` - Will prepare all the storage (var/) folders, like: cache, logs, sessions, etc. - `bin/console application:translations:prepare` - Prepares all the untranslated string into a separate (app/locales/{locale}/messages\_untranslated.yml) file. Accepts an locale argument (defaults to 'en\_US' - usage: `bin/console application:translations:prepare --locale de_DE` or `bin/console application:translations:prepare -l de_DE` ) Other commands -------------- [](#other-commands) - `php-cs-fixer fix .` - if you want your code fixed before each commit. You will need to install [PHP Coding Standards Fixer](http://cs.sensiolabs.org/) - `bin/simple-phpunit` - run your PHPUnit tests Modules / Components -------------------- [](#modules--components) In case you want to create a new component / module in this system, do the following (in this case, the posts inside the members area): - Create a new Controller Provider (like [src/Application/ControllerProvider/MembersArea/PostsControllerProvider.php](https://github.com/bobalazek/web-application-starter-kit/blob/master/src/Application/ControllerProvider/MembersArea/PostsControllerProvider.php) - plural) - Bind with the following routes: - Overview / list: - Route name: [members-area.posts](https://github.com/bobalazek/web-application-starter-kit/blob/master/src/Application/ControllerProvider/MembersArea/PostsControllerProvider.php#L22) -
