Up & Running With Symfony 4 - Part 1: Setup, Controllers, Twig

Enjoy guys. I had to tend to my PHP peeps. Oh and I called the app symphart because symfart just didn't feel right :0. Don't forget to like and share

[@thatdooddillon]

Thank you Brad! I'm getting started learning Symfony to get ahead on an upcoming internship, and your videos have helped me immensely, all the best!

Symfony 4 tutorial... oh my god... You heard my prayers... thanks Brad, your are awesome....

[@florianhermann1558]

Hi Brad, it's nice to see you finally using my favourite framework! Thanks to promote it :) There are some tips from a Symfony developer : - You don't tell a lot about it, so I will suggest to viewers to have a look at Symfony Flex which is the major change in Symfony 4. Basically, it is built on the top of composer and allows to install bundles with preconfiguration. - You can start a project using symfony/website-skeleton instead of symfony/skeleton. This skeleton follows the basic symfony 3 skeleton in term of dependencies. It's better for beginners who don't know all the symfony dependencies that they need. You can still remove some of them easily thanks to Symfony Flex. - Use the Symfony Maker bundle which is the new way to generate skeleton code for your controllers, entities, form and even basic crud based on an entity. Moreover, the skeleton code will follow best practices and will depend on your dependencies

[@JinTwisT]

I can say my favorite dev teacher. I learned a lot from you in past years and every day you make my life easier! Thank's because of you and people like you who love to share knowledge I love my job that I'm working

[@stormybear4986]

Brad, I'm amazed at how fluently you know your Bootstrap classes! Big Props!

[@stormybear4986]

Watching you build that navbar from scratch was a thing of beauty! I want to be you when I grow up as a developer!

[@stefan4800]

Yeah, Laravel is full of 'magic'. Many things in Laravel I do in native PHP and later on find out the Laravel way of doing things which was far easier way, but I'm glad I actually do it in the harder way first because that make me a better programmer. People really should learn the raw PHP first because if they rely only on Laravel and take solutions out of the box, they will be handicapped. Anyway, I'm always glad when I see the new PHP stuff on Brad's channel and I'm glad he didn't become fully hysterical Node hipster. :D Thanks Brad!

[@agil-j4n]

kanaltut well to be honest, you won't be able to do everything in laravel unless you learn the php way, when things don't make sense, you don't actually learn it. I'm still gonna stay with Laravel. It's so clean and beautiful. Lets you start doing your code without worrying about certain things

[@ThemisTheotokatos]

Thank you. I almost always get criticized for actually working in native php. I understand that knowing a framework will boost your job but I agree with you, just learning the framework and not php will handicap you. We need both.

[@galaxysamsung3320]

If you want AutoComplete (Emmet) in your "html.twig" files you must edit some stuff in VSCode. Go to: File -> Preferences -> Settings 》 Extensions 》 Emmet 》 under "Include Languages" click "Edit in settings.json", then under "workbench.colorTheme" but before closing "}" add this: "files.associations": { "*html.twig": "html" }, "emmet.includeLanguages": { "twig": "html" }

[@chawkichalladia1812]

you the best man, i was just looking for some sort of tutorial on symfony

[@AndrewErwin73]

I really love Laravel and use it quite often. But, Symfony seems to offer a lot more (for lack of a better word) configuration... one thing I really like is that you can set non-existent routes in your template (Laravel will give you an error when you do this). Not sure why I never checked out Symfony before, but I am glad I came across this video. Thanks, Brad...again!

[@AndrewErwin73]

@John Smith I wouldn't say that it is built ON symphony, it is modular and uses a bit of code from many different projects. For example, Symfony uses Doctrine as its ORM where Laravel uses Eloquent. Symfony uses Twig as its template engine, Laravel uses Blade (which as far as I can tell is proprietary)... the vendor folder of a full Laravel install is something like 200 MB... HUGE!

[@AndrewErwin73]

@John Smith fair enough! :)

[@hassanelghafoud]

This is the best tutorial I found about Symfony 4. Great job! Thank you.

[@christopherjr.dalisay4331]

do I need to install symfony before running composer create-project symfony/skeleton ?

[@preslavgetov4508]

Just a word in here: I know this is an older tutorial, and Symfony now is at S5 but the way that you can actually view your project after setting up the server, editing the host file etc (big disclaimer - at least for me) is to do *localhost/index.php* not localhost whatever the name of the project was. Just a heads up because I spent like 15 minutes searching for a solution and just on a whim tried what I explained earlier. I am a noob btw so you know..

[@alexweissnicht9545]

[@janzielinski4378]

What shortcut you used in the 23:38 of the movie to generate a nav tag?

Kind of late, but you need to add this setting to your user settings: "emmet.triggerExpansionOnTab": true and then after writing what he wrote hit tab. It works with a lot of html tag abbreviations.

[@Tux0xFF]

the path in your vhost must be pointing to /symphart/public , not just symphart , also chek your hosts file. In 2020 there is a better tool called Laragon which will automate any PHP application setup like Laravel Symfony, WP , etc, which will blow xampp, wamp socks away , they have nothing against Laragon, that is if you are on Windows.

Yeah. VSCode is not the best IDE for Symfony. Unfortunately VS-Symfony community is very small and not active at all. If you want to have all this handy pop-ups and hints, you should use PHPStorm (which is proprietary and somewhat expensive for the newbie) or NetBeans (which is open-source and free) with Symfony plugin.

[@hoodedwarrior8956]

@@pw4827 Yea well, I misunderstood the concept behind symfony back then, now I am rather fond of those components and the fact that you can not even use the skeleton and only use 1 -3 specialized modules, autoload in your project and there you go. But this might also make it rather hard to make good typehinting, that ide would have to index everything on every file change in project.
