**Course Title:** Mastering Symfony: Building Enterprise-Level PHP Applications **Section Title:** Introduction to Symfony and Development Setup **Topic:** Install Symfony and set up a basic project. Create your first route and render a simple view.(Lab topic) ### Introduction In this lab topic, you will install Symfony using Composer, set up a basic project, create your first route, and render a simple view. This hands-on exercise will help you get familiar with the basics of Symfony and its default directory structure. ### Installing Symfony Before you can start building your project, you need to install Symfony. There are several ways to install Symfony, but we'll use Composer, as it's the recommended approach. 1. **Install Composer**: Make sure you have Composer installed on your machine. If not, you can download it from the official Composer website: <https://getcomposer.org/download/> 2. **Create a new Symfony project**: Open your terminal and run the following command to create a new Symfony project: ```bash composer create-project symfony/skeleton symfony_project ``` Replace `symfony_project` with the name of your project. 3. **Navigate to your project directory**: Once the installation is complete, navigate to your project directory: ```bash cd symfony_project ``` ### Setting up a Basic Project In this section, you will create a basic Symfony project and get familiar with its default directory structure. 1. **Project Directory Structure**: Take a look at the directory structure of your project: ``` symfony_project/ config/ src/ Controller/ Entity/ Repository/ security/ ... public/ templates/ var/ vendor/ ... ``` Here's a brief explanation of the directories: * `config/`: Stores all the project configuration files. * `src/`: Contains the application code. * `public/`: The document root of the project. * `templates/`: Houses all the Twig templating files. * `var/`: Contains cache, logs, and session files. * `vendor/`: Stores all the project dependencies installed via Composer. ### Creating Your First Route In this section, you will create your first route and render a simple view. 1. **Create a new Controller**: Create a new file called `IndexController.php` in the `src/Controller` directory: ```php // src/Controller/IndexController.php namespace App\Controller; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response; class IndexController { public function index(): Response { return new Response('Hello, Symfony!'); } } ``` This controller has a single method called `index`, which returns a simple HTTP response with the message 'Hello, Symfony!'. 2. **Define a Route**: Define a new route for the `IndexController` in the `config/routes.yaml` file: ```yaml # config/routes.yaml index: path: / controller: App\Controller\IndexController ``` This route maps the root URL (`/`) to the `index` method of the `IndexController`. ### Rendering a Simple View In this section, you will create a simple Twig template and render it with the `IndexController`. 1. **Create a new Template**: Create a new file called `index.html.twig` in the `templates/` directory: ```html {# templates/index.html.twig #} <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Mastering Symfony</title> </head> <body> <h1>Hello, Symfony!</h1> </body> </html> ``` This template is a simple HTML page with a title and a heading that says 'Hello, Symfony!'. 2. **Update the IndexController**: Update the `IndexController` to render the new Twig template: ```php // src/Controller/IndexController.php namespace App\Controller; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response; use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route; class IndexController { /** * @Route("/", name="index") */ public function index(): Response { return $this->render('index.html.twig'); } } ``` This updated controller uses the `render` method to render the `index.html.twig` template. ### Running Your Application To see your application in action, start the Symfony development server using the following command: ```bash symfony server:start ``` This will start the development server, and you can access your application at `http://localhost:8000` in your web browser. **Conclusion** In this lab topic, you installed Symfony, set up a basic project, created your first route, and rendered a simple view. You are now ready to move on to more advanced topics in Symfony development. **What's Next?** In the next topic, you will learn about the Symfony routing system, including YAML and annotation-based routing. **Leave a Comment or Ask for Help** If you have any questions or need help with any of the concepts covered in this topic, please leave a comment below. Please refer to the official Symfony documentation for more information on the topics covered in this course: <https://symfony.com/doc/current/page_creation.html> In the next topic, you will learn about the Symfony routing system. Please proceed to the next topic to learn more about 'Introduction to Symfony routing system (YAML, annotation-based routing)'.
