Symfony 6.1 with Tailwind CSS basic project

Use this as a template to get your own SF 6.1 project going. This project is configured so that you must login to access any page - but you could modify the permissions easily enough.

This project was created on MacOS, so the instructions are tested on MacOS.

Development - Getting Up and Running

First time working on this project?

You should use your own APP_SECRET in .env - generate one here: http://nux.net/secret

If you don't have the symfony console command, you can install it with:

brew install symfony-cli/tap/symfony-cli

The first time you use the Symfony Proxy you will need to configure it and do some tweaks to your local networking:

symfony server:ca:install
symfony proxy:start
symfony proxy:domain:attach mydevsite
You will now need to set a proxy in your network stack - follow instructions from https://symfony.com/doc/current/setup/symfony_server.html#local-domain-names)

If you have prepared the proxy (or don't want to use it):

composer install
Create an .env.local with appropriate db connection details and other properties as necessary
yarn install
symfony serve -d
yarn dev-server

Create a default dev database

symfony console doctrine:database:create
symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate

Test User

The migrations include a test login:

username: test@example.com

password: password

This password will only work if you use the original APP_SECRET. If you changed the secret (which is advised) you can use the console command symfony console security:hash-password to generate a new password has, then store that in the migration or update it on your db.

Browser Problems

I use the Brave browser. It always defaults to blocking the JS/CSS (maybe because it comes from a different domain). So, I have to disable the Brave shields before I can see all the styling. I don't have this problem when the site is deployed.
