Symfony without a Bundle? Welcome to Bundleless!
================================================

[](#symfony-without-a-bundle-welcome-to-bundleless)

This is a very simple proof of concept. This package basically provides a bundle class which can be used to create "virtual" bundles. Virtual bundles only exists for the Symfony kernel, but for you it's just a package which uses bundle conventions (like automatic mapping for `Entity/`).

This can be used to remove the "bundle" from AppBundle. Let me tell you how to get this working for your application.

Install
-------

[](#install)

This is pretty simple (if you're using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)):

```
$ composer require wouterj/bundleless:1.*@dev

```

Edit
----

[](#edit)

Use the new `WouterJ\Bundleless\AppFocusedKernel` as parent of your `AppBundle`:

```
// app/AppKernel.php

use WouterJ\Bundleless\AppFocusedKernel;

// ...
class AppKernel extends AppFocusedKernel
{
}
```

Then, remove that ugly `AppBundle` register line from your `AppKernel`. Bundeless will take care of it now.

```
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        // comment or remove
        // new AppBundle\AppBundle();
}
```

Use
---

[](#use)

You're already ready! You should move your application code outside of the `AppBundle` by removing the namespace and putting it in `src/` directly. For instance:

```
// src/Controller/StaticController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class StaticController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/")
     */
    public function homepageAction()
    {
        return $this->render('static/homepage.html.twig');
    }
}
```

```
# app/config/routing.yml
app:
    resource: "@App/Controller"
    type: annotation
```

That's it. Apart from the template file, you now have a working homepage!

Customize
---------

[](#customize)

The AppBundle is created using the `Kernel#getAppBundle()` method. Override this method in your `AppKernel` to customize it.

License
-------

This project is released under the MIT license, it's just 2 files anyway.
