README

Twigony is inspired by Symfony's TemplateController. Twigony provides default controller actions for common use cases. You are able to configure Twigony through your routing.yml file (like Symfony's TemplateController).

Goals of Twigony:

• Easy to use (no own controllers are needed, an Entity and a template is all you need)
• Usable for fast prototyping
• Usable for simple pages
• Much more frontend code (Twig) and less backend code (PHP/Symfony)
• Covers common use cases (database listing, email…)

Installation

Create an empty project and use composer to install this bundle:

$ symfony new your-new-project
$ composer require timonf/twigony-framework-bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new \Twigony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\TwigonyFrameworkBundle(),
        );
    }
}

Documentation

• TemplateController for static pages (_controller: twigony.template_controller:templateAction)
• SecurityController for login page (_controller: twigony.security_controller:loginAction)
• SwiftMailerController for email forms (_controller: twigony.mailer_controller:emailAction)
• DoctrineORMController for database operations (_controller: twigony.template_controller:*)

Example usages

Multiple static pages (TemplateController)

1. Create two or more Twig templates (like app/views/info/hello.html.twig and app/views/info/about.html.twig)

2. Extend your routing.yml:

   info_pages:
       path: '/info/{page}'
       defaults:
           _controller: 'twigony.template_controller:templateAction'
           template:    'info/{page}.html.twig'
   

List entities (DoctrineORMController)

1. Create an entity or use an existing one (e .g. src/AppBundle/Entity/Post.php)

2. Create a template (like app/views/posts/all.html.twig)

3. Extend your routing.yml:

   posts:
       path: '/posts'
       defaults:
           _controller: 'twigony.orm_controller:listAction'
           template: 'posts/all.html.twig'
           entity: 'AppBundle\Entity\Post'
           options:
               as: 'posts' # Access variable for your Twig template. You can use it this way `{% for post in posts %}…`
               perPage: 50
   

Show single entity (DoctrineORMController)

1. Create an entity or use an existing one (e .g. src/AppBundle/Entity/Post.php)

2. Create a template (like app/views/posts/show.html.twig)

3. Extend your routing.yml:

   show_post:
       path: '/posts/{id}' # Make sure, you are using "id" as id parameter!
       defaults:
           _controller: 'twigony.orm_controller:viewAction'
           template: 'posts/show.html.twig'
           entity:   'AppBundle\Entity\Post'
           options:
               as: 'post' # Access variable for your Twig template. You can use it this way `{{ post.title }}…`
