Silicone Skeleton
=================

[](#silicone-skeleton)

Silicone Skeleton is Silex Framework Edition Skeleton.

Every part is configurable. You can choose anything you want.

This Silex modification contains the following:

- HttpCache
- Class Controllers
- Doctrine Common
- Doctrine ORM
- Monolog
- Session
- Twig
- Translation
- Validator
    - Unique validator for entities
- Forms
- Security
- User Registration and Authorization.
- Annotation Routes
- WebProfiler (with Doctrine queries logger)
- Console

Structure
---------

[](#structure)

Structure of Silicone is very similar to Symfony's.

```
app/
    config/  -- Configuration
    lang/    -- Language Yml, Xliff files
    open/    -- Writable directory for caches, logs, ext.
    src/     -- Application sources
    vendor/  -- Vendors
    view/    -- Twig view files
    console  -- Console Tool
web/
    index.php

```

Controller
----------

[](#controller)

You can use Silex controllers `$app->get(...)` with class controllers.

```
class Blog extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/blog/{post}")
     */
    public function post($post)
    {
        return $this->render('post.twig');
    }
}
```

Doctrine ORM
------------

[](#doctrine-orm)

You can use all Doctrine ORM functionality, not just DBAL. Create file `app/src/Entity/Post.php`:

```
namespace Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Post
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue
     */
    protected $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column
     * @Assert\NotBlank()
     * @Assert\Length(min = "3", max = "1000")
     */
    protected $text;
}
```

After this just run:

```
app/console schema:update

```

Install
-------

[](#install)

Use Composer to create a new project:

```
composer create-project elfet/silicone-skeleton your/app/path

```

Open directory used for writing caches, logs, ext. So you must give write permissions for www-data user. Example:

```
sudo chmod +a "www-data allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/open/
sudo chmod +a "[your user name] allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/open/

```

Add permissions to execute console command. Example:

```
chmod +x app/console

```

Database
--------

[](#database)

After configuring console run the following commands to create sample database:

```
app/console database:create
app/console schema:create

```

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- Documentation
- Tests
- SwiftMailer
