A code along through Symfonycasts Learn Symfony track.

Notes

  • The base symfony/skeleton install is essentially a small route-controller system. The routes are defined at config/routes.yaml and the controllers reside at the src/Controller directory.
  • An alternative routing method is to use the Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route annotation and define the route alongside the controller.
class ArticleController
{
    /**
     * @Route("/")
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function homepage()
    {
        return new Response('hello, world!');
    }
}
  • The router also supports wildcards like:
class ArticleController
{
    ...
    
    /**
     * @Route("/news/{slug}")
     *
     * @param $slug
     *
     * @return Response
     */
    public function show(string $slug)
    {
        return new Response('The slug is: '.$slug);
    }
}

  • The Symfony Flex system is a tool for installing related packages. The system gives packages an alias (like annotations for doctrine/annotations) and a recipe which triggers actions after installing the said package.

  • Symfony uses (by default) Twig as its templating system. The docs are straightforward so go read that one. It looks and feels like Jinja!
