Doctrine Entity Proxy Watch POC

Using GruntJS to watch for changed files (Doctrine entities) and generating them to avoid runtime generation.

When you have the demo application installed and properly set up (see instructions below) follow these additional steps:

1. npm install
2. node_modules/grunt-cli/bin/grunt watch:doctrine-entity
3. You are set to go, try changing some entities and check their proxies in app/cache/dev/doctrine/orm/Proxies/.

Symfony Demo Application

The "Symfony Demo Application" is a reference application created to show how to develop Symfony applications following the recommended best practices.

Requirements

• PHP 5.3 or higher;
• PDO-SQLite PHP extension enabled;
• and the usual Symfony application requirements.

If unsure about meeting these requirements, download the demo application and browse the http://localhost:8000/config.php script to get more detailed information.

Installation

First, install the Symfony Installer if you haven't already. Then, install the Symfony Demo Application executing this command anywhere in your system:

$ symfony demo

# if you're using Windows:
$ php symfony demo

If the demo command is not available, update your Symfony Installer to the most recent version executing the symfony self-update command.

NOTE

If you can't use the Symfony Installer, download and install the demo application using Git and Composer:

$ git clone https://github.com/symfony/symfony-demo
$ cd symfony-demo/
$ composer install --no-interaction

Usage

If you have PHP 5.4 or higher, there is no need to configure a virtual host in your web server to access the application. Just use the built-in web server:

$ cd symfony-demo/
$ php app/console server:run

This command will start a web server for the Symfony application. Now you can access the application in your browser at http://localhost:8000. You can stop the built-in web server by pressing Ctrl + C while you're in the terminal.

NOTE

If you're using PHP 5.3, configure your web server to point at the web/ directory of the project. For more details, see: http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/configuration/web_server_configuration.html
