This repository holds the code for Symfony 4 and ReactJS.

To get it working, follow these steps:

Download Composer dependencies

Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:

php -d memory_limit=-1 composer.phar install 

Setup the Database

Open your terminal, go to the source code directory and run mv command to create .env file.

mv .env.dist .env 

Open .env Also, make sure the DATABASE_URL setting is correct for your system. For example, on my laptop, I updated the .env file like this.

DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:mysecret@127.0.0.1:6667/sf4_reactjs_db 

Then, create the database and the schema!

php bin/console doctrine:database:create php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load 

If you get an error that the database exists, that should be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.

Build your Assets

To build your assets, install the dependencies with yarn and then run encore:

yarn install yarn run encore dev --watch 

Start the built-in web server

You can use Nginx or Apache, but the built-in web server works great:

php bin/console server:run 

Now check out the site at http://localhost:8000. and try log in with

username:admin@mail.com password:123456 

For convenience

If you are using PhpStorm you may install and enable the Symfony Plugin via the preferences which provides more auto-completion for Symfony projects.
