• src/Repository

The sqlite databases are stored in var/ folder.

Prerequisites

• The date.timezone parameter must be defined in php.ini

More information on symfony website.

Installation

Command lines:

# clone current repot
composer install

# (optional) Copy and edit configuration values ".env.local"

php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:database:create --connection=second
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate -n

# Optional
php bin/console app:fixtures

For the asset symlink install, launch a terminal on administrator in Windows environment.

Usage

Just execute this command to run the built-in web server (require symfony installer) and access the application in your browser at http://localhost:8000:

# Dev env
symfony server:start

# Test env
APP_ENV=test php -d variables_order=EGPCS -S 127.0.0.1:8000 -t public/

Alternatively, you can configure a web server like Nginx or Apache to run the application.

Your commit is checked by several dev tools (like phpstan, php cs fixer...). These tools were managed by Grumphp, you can edit configuration on file grumphp.yml or check manually with the command: ./vendor/bin/grumphp run.

Development notes

For make new migrations in dev environnement, use the command php bin/console make:migration (this poc update the command with adding multiple databases support).

When you use the command make:entity, you should add the database namespace before the entity name. Example: Second\Article.
