Symfony 2.0 was released on July 28 2011
Symfony2 is a collection of standalone PHP componentsbundled together into a single framework
You can choose what to take, and what to not use
✔ Authentication and Authorization✔ Forms and Validation✔ Templating✔ Logging✔ Asset Management✔ Routing✔ Internationalization✔ Console Tasks✔ Caching
Dependency Injection means you can changeany of these to another implementation
<?php $this->container->get(security.context)->isGranted( READ, $object)The actual service checking this could beMidCOM-style ACL, or simple "allow authenticatedusers to do anything" check.
With namespaces all projects can share one autoloader.
<?php$crRoot = realpath(__DIR__ . /..);// register the autoloadersrequire "{$crRoot}/SplClassLoader.php";// Tell where Midgard stuff is$midgardAutoloader = new SplClassLoader(Midgard, "{$crRoot}/src");$midgardAutoloader->register();// Tell where code from some other project is$phpcrAutoloader = new SplClassLoader(PHPCR, "{$crRoot}/lib/PHPCR/src");$phpcrAutoloader->register();
$ php app/check.php********************************* ** Symfony requirements check ** *********************************php.ini used by PHP: /etc/php5/cli/php.ini** Mandatory requirements **OK Checking that PHP version is at least 5.3.2 (5.3.5-1ubuntu7.2 installed)OK Checking that the "date.timezone" setting is setOK Checking that app/cache/ directory is writable...
Dependencies are defined in the deps file[AsseticBundle] git=http://github.com/symfony/AsseticBundle.git target=/bundles/Symfony/Bundle/AsseticBundle version=v1.0.0RC2
Now you could just use the web dirstuff in your regular web server.
However, well be using AppServer-in-PHP$ pear channel-discover pear.indeyets.pp.ru$ pear install indeyets/aip
Add AiP integration as dependency[AppServerBundle] git=http://github.com/bergie/MidgardAppServerBundle.git target=Midgard/AppServerBundleInstall with $ php bin/vendors install --reinstall
Copy aip.yaml.example fromvendor/Midgard/AppServerBundleto the app dir as aip.yaml
Add Midgard namespace to autoloader$loader->registerNamespaces(array( ... Midgard => __DIR__./../vendor,
Start AiP aip app app/aip.yamlGo to http://localhost:8001
Now, to write some code!$ php app/console generate:bundleLet Symfony2 create a Acme/ExampleBundle for you.
src/Acme/ExampleBundle/Resources/views/Default/index.html.twigHello {{ name }}!
How did this template get loaded?/** * @Template() */...return array(name => $name);⇒ Defaults to Bundle/Resources/views/Controller/action.html.twigWe could also do:return $this->render( AcmeExampleBundle:Default:index.html.twig, array(name => $name));
Page generation process:1. Match the URL to a route (/hello/{name}) /hello/World ⇒ /hello/{name}2. Instantiate Controller new AcmeExampleBundleControllerDefaultController3. Run action method with arguments ->indexAction(World)3. Controller returns a Response Hello World!
Templating in Symfony2
Twig is the default templating engine for Symfony2
In Midgard you only define the elements you want to overrideIn Twig you define a new root element that inherits and thenoverrides.
Registering routes with YAMLAcmeExampleBundle: resource: "@AcmeExampleBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml" prefix: /examplesrc/Acme/ExampleBundle/Resources/config/routing.ymlhello_user: pattern: /hello/{name} defaults: { _controller: AcmeExampleBundle:Default:index}(format is NamespaceBundle:Controller:action)
$ php app/console router:debug[router] Current routesName Method Pattern_welcome ANY /_demo_login ANY /demo/secured/login_security_check ANY /demo/secured/login_check_demo_logout ANY /demo/secured/logout..._configurator_final ANY /_configurator/finalacme_example_default_index ANY /example/hello/{name}
Supporting other output formats/** * @Route("/hello/{name}.{_format}", defaults={"_format"="html"}) */http://localhost:8001/hello/World andhttp://localhost:8001/hello/World.htmlwill both work
src/Acme/ExampleBundle/Resources/views/Default/index.json.twig{% set arr = { name: name } %}{{ arr | json_encode | raw }}
http://localhost:8001/hello/World.json
Exercise:Create two routes• One with no parameters• One with two parameters• Provide a default value for parameter
Using Midgard inside Symfony2
Add Midgard ConnectionBundle as dependency[MidgardConnectionBundle] git=git://github.com/bergie/MidgardConnectionBundle.git target=Midgard/ConnectionBundleInstall with $ php bin/vendors installEnable in app/AppKernel.php$bundles = array( ... new MidgardConnectionBundleMidgardConnectionBundle());
Now you can create a database$ php app/console midgard:connection:init
Using Midgard in controllerssrc/Acme/ExampleBundle/Controller/DefaultController.php/** * @Route("/hello/{name}.{_format}", defaults={"_format"="html"}) * @Template() */public function indexAction($name){ $qb = new midgard_query_builder(midgard_person); $qb->add_constraint(firstname, =, Midgard); $persons = $qb->execute(); return array(name => $persons[0]->firstname);}
Hello, Midgard!
Exercise:Create a route displaying all personobjects in the Midgard database
MidCOM components inside Symfony2
Warning: Here be Dragons
Add Midgard MidcomCompatBundle as dependency[MidcomCompatBundle] git=git://github.com/bergie/MidgardMidcomCompatBundle.git target=Midgard/MidcomCompatBundleInstall with $ php bin/vendors installEnable in app/AppKernel.php$bundles = array( ... new MidgardMidcomCompatBundleMidgardMidcomCompatBundle());
Install Flacks version of MidCOM$ git clone https://github.com/flack/openpsa.gitCopy schemas from openpsa/schemas to MgdSchema dirapp/config/config.ymlmidgard_midcom_compat: root: "%kernel.root_dir%/../openpsa/lib"framework: templating: { engines: [twig, midcom] }Run $ php app/console midgard:connection:init
Enable component in app/AppKernel.php$bundles = array( ... new MidgardMidcomCompatBundleBundleComponentBundle( net.nehmer.blog));Add a component to routing configuration:NetNehmerBlog: resource: "net.nehmer.blog" type: midcom prefix: /blog
http://localhost:8001/blog/
Loading a layout for your MidCOM viewsapp/config/config.ymlmidgard_midcom_compat: layout: "MidgardMidcomCompatBundle::layout.html.twig"
Some areas to follow:• Symfony CMF: node-based routing, etc• PHPCR: standard content repository APIs• MidCOM and Midgard MVC compat work
