Well hello there! This repo is only relevant to you if you're coming to my Symfony UX workshop at SymfonyCon 2020!
To get it working, follow these steps:
Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:
composer install
You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending
on how you installed Composer.
The code comes with a docker-compose.yaml file and we recommend using
Docker to boot a database container. You will still have PHP installed
locally, but you'll connect to a database inside Docker. This is optional,
but I think you'll love it!
First, make sure you have Docker installed and running. To start the container, run:
docker compose up -d
Next, build the database and the schema with:
# "symfony console" is equivalent to "bin/console"
# but its aware of your database container
symfony console doctrine:database:create --if-not-exists
symfony console doctrine:schema:update --force
symfony console doctrine:fixtures:load
If you do not want to use Docker, just make sure to start your own
database server and update the DATABASE_URL environment variable in
.env or .env.local before running the commands above.
You can use Nginx or Apache, but Symfony's local web server works even better.
To install the Symfony local web server, follow "Downloading the Symfony client" instructions found here: https://symfony.com/download - you only need to do this once on your system.
Then, to start the web server, open a terminal, move into the project, and run:
symfony serve
(If this is your first time using this command, you may see an
error that you need to run symfony server:ca:install first).

Have fun!
