ext-application-bundle

A Symfony bundle to integrate Sencha Ext JS into a Symfony application

Installation

You can install this bundle using composer

composer require teqneers/ext-application-bundle

or add the package to your composer.json file directly.

After you have installed the package, you just need to add the bundle to your AppKernel.php file:

// in AppKernel::registerBundles()
$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new TQ\Bundle\ExtJSApplicationBundle\TQExtJSApplicationBundle(),
    // ...
);

Configuration

The ext-application-bundle requires some initial configuration so that it can find the correct files.

# Default configuration for extension with alias: "tq_ext_js_application"
tq_ext_js_application:
    app_path:             ~ # Required
    builds:               # Required
        # Prototype
        name:
            development:          # Required
                build_path:           ~ # Required
                microloader:          /bootstrap.js
                manifest:             /bootstrap.json
                app_cache:            null
            production:           # Required
                build_path:           ~ # Required
                microloader:          microloader.js
                manifest:             app.json
                app_cache:            cache.appcache

Because the bundle provides its own controller to serve micro-loader, manifest and application cache manifest, you also need to configure your routing to include the bundle routes at a given prefix. Edit your app/config/routing.yml:

# ...
ext_app:
    resource: "@TQExtJSApplicationBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix:/
# ...

Example

Given the following directory structure of a fictitious Symfony application

./
|-- app/            Application configuration and assets
|-- src/            Application source code
|-- web/            Public web-facing directory (document root)
|   |-- app.php     Symfony production front controller
|   |-- app_dev.php Symfony development front controller
|   |-- app/        Root folder for Ext JS application production build
|-- ExampleApp/     The Ext JS application source folder

your configuration might look like this

tq_ext_js_application:
    app_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/ExampleApp'
    builds:
        default:
            development:
                build_path:  build/development/ExampleApp
                microloader: /bootstrap.js
                manifest:    /bootstrap.json
                app_cache:   ~
            production:
                build_path:  build/production/ExampleApp
                microloader: microloader.js
                manifest:    app.json
                app_cache:   cache.appcache

Usage

Using the Twig extension provided by the bundle you can easily integrate the Ext JS application resources into your application templates.
