Zend Framework 2 and Symfony2: The Perfect Team (ZendCon)

The next generation of frameworks is upon is, and now that they're more decoupled and component-based than ever before and use the same standard for naming and autoloading, there is no reason to stick to a single framework for your projects. During this session, we will go through several ways of combining Zend Framework 2 and Symfony2, so that you walk away being able to focus even more on on writing the complex custom logic your project needs, and don't have to worry about the rest.

3. PHP frameworks
   ●
   Symfony and Zend Framework are the most
   used PHP frameworks worldwide
   ●
   Both offer a tons of features that can improve
   the development of web applications
   ●
   Modular architectures and high quality PHP
   code (SoC + SOLID principles)
   ●
   Why don't use it together to get the best
   features of both?

4. Religion war?
   ZF sucks!
   Symfony?
   Oh My!

5. Instead of think about
   ZF2 || Symfony 2
   think about
   ZF2 && Symfony 2

6. PSR-*
   ●
   Framework interoperability standards
   ●
   Meant to make it easier to work with multiple
   frameworks
   ●
   Naming standards and coding standards
   ●
   For instance: Only one autoloader!

11. Composer
    ●
    Composer (getcomposer.org) can help the
    management of projects that use ZF2 and
    Symfony2
    – Select your favorite ZF2 and Symfony2
    components using composer.json
    – $ php composer.phar install
    – Components installed in /vendor
    – Include the /vendor/autoload.php in your PHP
    code, that's it!

32. How to use Symfony2 in ZF2
    ●
    Use composer.json to include the Symfony2
    components
    ●
    Execute the update (or install) command of composer
    ●
    The Symfony2 composer will be installed in /vendor
    ●
    MVC approach:
    ●
    Register the Symfony2 components in the
    ServiceManager
    ●
    “Standard” approach:
    ●
    Use the Symfony2 components directly (instantiate
    the class and use it)

34. Symfony component as a service
    // a module config "module/SomeModule/config/module.config.php"
    return array(
    'service_manager' => array(
    'services' => array(
    // Keys are the service names
    // Values are objects
    'YamlParser' => new Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser(),
    'DomCrawler' => new Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler(),
    // ...
    ),
    )
    );

35. Symfony component as a factory
    // a module config "module/SomeModule/config/module.config.php"
    return array(
    'service_manager' => array(
    'factories' => array(
    // Keys are the service names.
    // Valid values include names of classes implementing
    // FactoryInterface, instances of classes implementing
    // FactoryInterface, or any PHP callbacks
    'YamlParser' => 'Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser',
    'DomCrawler' => 'Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler',
    // ...
    ),
    )
    );

36. Use a service in a Controller
    class AlbumController extends AbstractActionController
    {
    public function indexAction()
    {
    $sm = $this->getServiceLocator();
    $yamlParser = $sm->get('YamlParser');
    $domCrawler = $sm->get('DomCrawler');
    }
    // ...
    }
