API Platform Part 2: Security course from symfonycasts

API Platform 3 Security Tutorial! 🐉

Well howdy! This repository holds the code and script for the API Platform 3 on SymfonyCasts.

Setup

If you've just downloaded the code, congratulations!!

To get it working, follow these steps:

Download Composer dependencies

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.

Database Setup

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:migrations:migrate
symfony console doctrine:fixtures:load

If you're using something other than Postgresql, you can replace doctrine:migrations:migrate with doctrine:schema:update --force.

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.

Webpack Encore Assets

This app uses Webpack Encore for the CSS, JS and image files, which we use a bit near the beginning to test out our login flow.

First, make sure you have npm installed (npm comes with Node) and then run:

npm install
npm run watch

Start the Symfony web server

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).

Now check out the site at https://localhost:8000

Have fun!

Have Ideas, Feedback or an Issue?

If you have suggestions or questions, please feel free to open an issue on this repository or comment on the course itself. We're watching both :).

Thanks!

And as always, thanks so much for your support and letting us do what we love!
