Getting Started with Symfony 4 and Flex

With the release of Symfony4, both the architecture and the developer workflow got a major overhaul, mostly by the introduction of Flex as a way to bootstrap your application. The new changes focus on enabling easier cloud deployments & less manual configuration, while supporting both lean microservice setups as well as monolithic applications. I will guide you through these changes to quickly get started with your new projects.

9. Bootstrapping a Symfony application
10. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex Symfony Standard Edition Symfony 2/3 applications were based
 on the Symfony Standard Edition (SE). Symfony SE shipped with all components
 and various bundles. Unused functionality is dormant or
 must be removed.
11. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex Symfony Flex • replaces Symfony Installer (symfony new) • Composer plugin • Autoconfigures bundles • Executes predefined recipes • Removes changes from recipe on uninstall Functionality is downloaded when needed

30. Bundle-less
 applications
31. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex Your bundles will still work!
32. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex What is a bundle? Bundles are intended to be reusable components for sharing features between applications. Bundles are Symfony's version of a plugin-system.
33. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex Migrating a bundled application Move code to App\ and use namespaces for ordering functionality, e.g.
 App\Controller\Backend\IndexController. Install bundles using composer.
34. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex How to add functionality to a Flex project? Unlike Standard Edition, which came with ready-to-use bundles and default config,
 new components/bundles are added on demand. Flex will automatically enable a bundle in all
 appropriate environments and add necessary
 configuration through recipes & packs.
35. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex What is a recipe? • Description of things to apply when a package is installed or to be removed on uninstall • maintained by Symfony Core team • stored in Github-repository: symfony/recipes • automatically applied via flex-plugin

38. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex Packs groups of several packages solving a common problem Recipes registers a bundle with optional configuration, environment variables
 and files

43. Dependency Injection Improvements
44. Denis Brumann denis.brumann@sensiolabs.de @dbrumann Getting Started with Symfony 4 & Flex services: # default configuration for services in *this* file _defaults: autowire: true # Automatically injects dependencies in your services. autoconfigure: true # Automatically registers your services as commands, event subscribers, etc. public: false # Allows optimizing the container by removing unused services; this also means # fetching services directly from the container via $container->get() won't work. # The best practice is to be explicit about your dependencies anyway. # makes classes in src/ available to be used as services # this creates a service per class whose id is the fully-qualified class name App\: resource: '../src/*' exclude: '../src/{Entity,Migrations,Tests,Kernel.php}' # controllers are imported separately to make sure services can be injected # as action arguments even if you don't extend any base controller class App\Controller\: resource: '../src/Controller' tags: ['controller.service_arguments']
