[](#prelude-to-symfony-)

An easy way to start a Symfony app

What
----

[](#what)

This small lib does 3 things :

- Provides a fat-free kernel for Symfony 2 with only essential bundles
- Provides an auto-installer script for platform-specific parameters
- Inject a default parameter "developer.name" to customize your configuration when many developers are involved

Why
---

[](#why)

Reduce the rate of "But it works on my computer (or my VM) !"

It starts for 3 reasons :

- the lost so many times of the infamous parameters.yml
- the AppKernel class is not [OCP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open/closed_principle)
- customizing parameters automatically between a team

Example
-------

[](#example)

In the end, the Kernel looks like :

```
use Trismegiste\Prelude\Kernel;

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    protected function registerAdditionalBundles()
    {
        return [];
    }
}

```

See through the [phpunit tests](https://github.com/Trismegiste/symfony-prelude/blob/master/tests/example/AppKernel.php) or the social network app [iinano](https://github.com/Trismegiste/iinano/tree/master/app/AppKernel.php)

When
----

[](#when)

Before you start to mess your AppKernel and parameters.yml. When you don't need fatty fat bundles like Doctrine or Swiftmailer or ide-validation-less annotations.

Where
-----

[](#where)

Add this lib to the composer.json of your Symfony project. Add the install script for Composer. Rewrite the AppKernel like you can see in [iinano](https://github.com/Trismegiste/iinano/tree/master/app/AppKernel.php). Remove parameters.yml (and its reference). Remove Incenteev reference in composer.json.

Y U NO use Incenteev ?
----------------------

[](#y-u-no-use-incenteev-)

This lib does not provide a way to prepare a parameters.yml for the preprod server, for example, so your sysadmin does not get mad when he's installing your app at 1:00 AM. Only the file for the production server needs to be in gitignore.

Nonetheless, you can use both in the same project.
