Silex Skeleton
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the Silex Skeleton - a fully-functional Silex application that you
|
|
can use as the skeleton for your new applications.
|
|
|
|
This document contains information on how to start using the Silex Skeleton.
|
|
|
|
Creating a Silex Application
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Silex uses `Composer`_ to ease the creation of a new project:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ composer create-project fabpot/silex-skeleton path/to/install "~2.0"
|
|
|
|
Composer will create a new Silex project under the `path/to/install` directory.
|
|
|
|
Browsing the Demo Application
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Congratulations! You're now ready to use Silex.
|
|
|
|
To see a real-live Silex page in action, start the PHP built-in web server with
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ cd path/to/install
|
|
$ COMPOSER_PROCESS_TIMEOUT=0 composer run
|
|
|
|
Then, browse to http://localhost:8888/index_dev.php/
|
|
|
|
Getting started with Silex
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
This distribution is meant to be the starting point for your Silex applications.
|
|
|
|
A great way to start learning Silex is via the `Documentation`_, which will
|
|
take you through all the features of Silex.
|
|
|
|
What's inside?
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The Silex Skeleton is configured with the following service providers:
|
|
|
|
* `ValidatorServiceProvider`_ - Provides a service for validating data. It is
|
|
most useful when used with the FormServiceProvider, but can also be used
|
|
standalone.
|
|
|
|
* `ServiceControllerServiceProvider`_ - As your Silex application grows, you
|
|
may wish to begin organizing your controllers in a more formal fashion.
|
|
Silex can use controller classes out of the box, but with a bit of work,
|
|
your controllers can be created as services, giving you the full power of
|
|
dependency injection and lazy loading.
|
|
|
|
* `TwigServiceProvider`_ - Provides integration with the Twig template engine.
|
|
|
|
* `WebProfilerServiceProvider`_ - Enable the Symfony web debug toolbar and
|
|
the Symfony profiler in your Silex application when developing.
|
|
|
|
* `MonologServiceProvider`_ - Enable logging in the development environment.
|
|
|
|
Read the `Providers`_ documentation for more details about Silex Service
|
|
Providers.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
