ilijamt/symfony2-tryout

What we have in this project

• Integration of Bootstrap
• Ability to create a new user on the page
• API
  • We can read, create, updated, delete tweets from the API
  • We can render the tweets from the API
• Integration of login system (can login with username and also with email)
• My page, where it only shows your own tweets
• Home page, where it shows all the tweets
• Pagination
• Ability to add/edit/remove your own tweets only when you are logged in the system
• Security checks to make sure another user can't create, update, or delete your tweets in your name, unless that user is logged in the system
• Automatic refresh every 5 seconds of the tweets, if someone adds a tweet they will show up at the top of the list so you can see them. (You can try opening in different browsers)
• Creating, Updating, Deleting are done with ajax calls through the api.
• Fixtures to load test data

Live demo of the project can be seen on the following link

Requirements

• node.js
• npm
• less
• php5
• apache2
• mysql

To install them on a debian machine just run the following commands with root privileges

apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy npm php5 apache2 git mysql-server mysql-client
npm -g install less
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer

We need to add the site to apache2 sites

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
  ServerName sy2try.local
  DocumentRoot "/var/www/symfony2-tryout/web"
  DirectoryIndex app.php
	ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sy2try.local.error.log
	CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/sy2try.local.access.log combined
  <Directory "/var/www/symfony2-tryout/web">
        AllowOverride all
        Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

In the /etc/hosts file we add this

127.0.0.1   sy2try.local

You should enable rewrite module

a2enmod rewrite
service apache2 restart

Lets create a new user for this application

CREATE USER 'symfony'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'symfony';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sym2tryout.* TO 'symfony'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Now with the user www-data

su - www-data
cd /var/www
git clone https://github.com/ilijamt/symfony2-tryout.git
composer update
php app/console cache:clear
php app/console cache:clear --env=prod --no-debug
php app/console assets:install web --symlink
php app/console assetic:dump
php app/console braincrafted:bootstrap:install
php app/console braincrafted:bootstrap:generate
php app/console doctrine:database:drop --force
php app/console doctrine:database:create
php app/console doctrine:schema:drop --force
php app/console doctrine:schema:update --force
php app/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Now you should have a fully populated database so we can start playing with it right away

Users

Username	Password	Email	Name
admin	admin	admin@admin.com	Admin Adminstrator
demo	demo	demo@demo.com	Demo Demonstration
newuser	newuser	newuser@newuser.com	New User

And that is it, now you can use any of these users to log in the system and try it out.
