Draggy
======

[](#draggy)

Draggy is a code development tool and template engine that enables the user to create and maintain a functional Skeleton of an application.

The installation instructions here are for installing Draggy as a vendor on an existing Symfony2 installation. If you are starting a new project, there is an easier way to get started by downloading a Symfony2 installation that already has Draggy bundled. For details please go to

Downloading that bundle package is the same as creating a new Symfony2 project and following the steps below.

If you want to see a demo, you can download one from here:

Installation (as a vendor on an existing Symfony2 installation)
---------------------------------------------------------------

[](#installation-as-a-vendor-on-an-existing-symfony2-installation)

Edit your `composer.json` file and add draggy as a dependency

```
sudo nano composer.json

```

```
    "require-dev": {
        ...
        "jd/draggy": "dev-master"
        ...
```

Change the version of the Incenteev dependency as it doesn't currently (2.3) support additional parameters on the `parameters.yml` file:

```
    "require": {
        ...
        "incenteev/composer-parameter-handler": "2.1.*@dev"
        ...
```

Run `composer update` to download the recently added dependency

```
sudo composer update

```

Copy the `parameters_draggy.yml.dist` file from `vendor/jd/draggy/app/config/` to `app/config/` as `parameters_draggy.yml`

```
sudo cp vendor/jd/draggy/app/config/parameters_draggy.yml.dist app/config/parameters_draggy.yml

```

Edit your `parameters.yml` file to add an import of the `parameters_draggy.yml` file

```
sudo nano app/config/parameters.yml

```

```
    imports:
        - { resource: parameters_draggy.yml }
        ...

    parameters:
    ...
```

Edit the `parameters_draggy.yml` and configure the model file name and other parameters

```
sudo nano app/config/parameters_draggy.yml

```

```
parameters:
    draggy.model_filename:      .xml
    draggy.model_path:          %kernel.root_dir%/../doc/
    draggy.model_history_path:  %kernel.root_dir%/../doc/history/
    draggy.model_xml_extension: .xml
    draggy.autocode.src_path:   %kernel.root_dir%/../src/
```

Create the folder where you are going to save the model, if it doesn't exist

```
mkdir doc

```

Crate the path where you are going to save the model history, if it doesn't exist

```
mkdir doc/history

```

Give write access to `www-data` to those folder

```
sudo apt-get install acl

sudo setfacl -R  -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx doc doc/history
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx doc doc/history

```

Add `doc/history` to the .gitignore

```
sudo nano .gitignore

```

```
...
/doc/history/*
!.gitkeep

```

Register the `DraggyBundle` in the `app\AppKernel.php` (it is recommended to add it on the `dev` section)

```
sudo nano app/AppKernel.php

```

```
if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
    ...
    $bundles[] = new Draggy\Bundle\DraggyBundle\DraggyBundle();
    $bundles[] = new Draggy\Bundle\MockBundle\MockBundle();
    ...
```

Modify the `routing_dev.yml` file to add Draggy routes

```
sudo nano app/config/routing_dev.yml

```

```
...
_draggy:
    resource: "@DraggyBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix:   /_draggy/
```

If you are going to use the default Draggy mock templates, copy the custom `form_div_layout.html.twig` into the resources folder:

```
mkdir app/Resources/views/Form
cp vendor/jd/draggy/src/Draggy/Bundle/MockBundle/Resources/views/Form/form_div_layout.html.twig app/Resources/views/Form/form_div_layout.html.twig

```

and amend your `config.yml` file to use this twig template and add the MockBundle to assetic:

```
sudo nano app/config/config.yml

```

```
...
twig:
    ...
    form:
        resources:
            - ':Form:form_div_layout.html.twig'
...
assetic:
    ...
    bundles:        [MockBundle]
    ...
```

Install the Draggy assets

```
sudo php app/console assets:install --symlink

```

That's it! To use it just browse to the path you created, e.g. [http://myproject.local/app\_dev.php/\_draggy](http://myproject.local/app_dev.php/_draggy)

Happy Draggy-ing!
