Symfony codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Symfony including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the Symfony community styleguides & best practices.

For more information on how to this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.

How it works

This app is using Symfony with:

• API Platform
• Doctrine ORM
• LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle

Docker services:

• Nginx
• PHP-FPM
• PostgreSQL

Code analysis:

• GrumPHP
• PHP_CodeSniffer
• PHP Mess Detector
• PHPStan

Testing:

• PHPUnit
• AliceBundle
• DoctrineTestBundle

Getting started

Run the application

Make sure you have Docker installed.

Clone the repository.

Launch Docker services:

docker compose up -d

That's it, now you can open http://localhost/ in your browser.

Run tests

Override Docker settings to enable development features:

cp docker-compose.dev.yml docker-compose.override.yml

Restart Docker services:

docker compose up -d --build

Open http://localhost/ to verify the app is running fine.

Note: If you see 502 Bad Gateway reload the page a few moments later :)

Run PHPUnit:

docker compose exec app phpunit
