The Symfony Micro-Framework
|
Learn how to bootstrap a project using Symfony as a micro-framework. Create pages with ease, enable/disable bundles, and evolve your app. Perfect for micro-framework enthusiasts. Thanks to Benjamin Eberlei for the motivation.
What you’ll be learning
NOTE Symfony 4 makes this course deprecated this course, as it is itself a micro framework! In fact, several of the things done in this tutorial were adopted in the core of Symfony. So, stay tuned! Or, watch this tutorial to learn more about the depths of Symfony.
So you love microframeworks like Silex. Yep – me too. Being able to create a single file and immediately code up some routes is awesome.
But Symfony is a big framework, right? Wrong! Symfony can be as small as a single file!
In this tutorial, we’ll bootstrap a project using Symfony as a micro-framework: something that looks more like Silex, but with the tools you’re used to. This means:
Small: A project structure with very few files
Simple: Create pages by touching one file
Familiar: It’s still Symfony 🙂
Powerful: Enable/disable any bundles you need
Evolve: Grow from micro to full-sized as your app succeeds
So if your next project is perfect for a micro-framework, you can still use Symfony.
Oh, and thanks to Benjamin Eberlei for his blog post and work – Symfony All The Things (Web) that served as motivation.
