What Symfony Components can do for you. php[tek] 2013 Chicago,
May 15th Andreas Hucks
@meandmymonkey Andreas Hucks Trainer & Consultant at SensioLabs Deutschland
Symfony 2.0 Is a Full Stack Framework ...
None
... not only.
Symfony2 is a reusable set of standalone, decoupled, and cohesive
PHP 5.3 components that solve common web development problems.
Stuff built using SF2 Components (to varying degrees) • Symfony2
(duh) • Drupal 8 • Silex • Laravel • PPI • PHPUnit • Composer • ... I probably forgot something important
None
if ($_GET['action'] == 'close') { $query =
'UPDATE todo SET is_done = 1 WHERE id = '. mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']); mysql_query($query, $conn) or die('Unable to update existing task : '. mysql_error()); header('Location: /app.php/'); } $result = mysql_query('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM todo', $conn); $count = current(mysql_fetch_row($result)); $result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM todo', $conn) ?> <table> <?php while ($todo = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo '<tr>'; echo ' <td class="center">'. $todo['id'] .'</td>'; echo ' <td><a href="/app.php/show?id='. $todo['id'] .'">'. $todo['title'] .'</a></td>'; echo ' <td class="center">'; 4.0 TM
None
None
None
HttpFoundation
HttpFoundation • OOP Interface for HTTP • No more Superglobals
• Helper Methods
Legacy Wrapper public function execute($file, Request $request) {
$file = $this-‐>basePath . $file; if (!is_file($file) && someSanityCheck($file)) { throw new \Exception('Invalid controller.'); } extract($this-‐>context); ob_start(); require_once $this-‐>basePath . $file; return new Response(ob_get_clean()); }
web/app.php use Legacy\Wrapper; use Symfony\Component\Debug\Debug; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; $wrapper = new
Wrapper(__DIR__ . '/../legacy'); $request = Request::createFromGlobals(); $response = $wrapper-‐>execute( $request-‐>getPathInfo(), $request ); $response-‐>send();
Testability & Compatibility $request = Request::createFromGlobals(); $response = doSomethingToGenerateResponse($request); $response-‐>send();
None
Wrap Up • Starting point for refactoring: • Isolated legacy
code • Can now be integrated into new app • Testable!
None
None
Debug
Debug • Error Handler • Exception Handler • Error Logging
(optionally)
Error Handler ErrorHandler::register($level = null); ErrorHandler::setLogger(LoggerInterface $logger = null);
Exception Handler ExceptionHandler::register($debug = true);
None
Debug Debug::enable($level = null);
None
None
Routing
Routing • Define routes as patterns • Assign attributes •
Match an incoming URI to a route • Generate an URI from a route object
Defining a Route $routeHome = new Route('/index.php'); $routeHome-‐>setDefault(
'_controller', function(Request $request) use ($wrapper) { return $wrapper-‐>execute('/index.php', $request); } );
Matching $routes = new RouteCollection(); $routes-‐>add('list', $routeHome); // ... $context
= new RequestContext(); $context-‐>fromRequest($request); $matcher = new UrlMatcher($routes, $context); $parameters = $matcher-‐>match($request-‐>getPathInfo());
Parameters? $routeHome-‐>setDefault('_controller', 'MyController'); $routeHome-‐>setDefault('page', 1); $routes-‐>add('list', $routeHome); array (
'_controller' => 'MyController', '_route' => 'list', 'page' => 1 )
Determine Controller $parameters = $matcher-‐>match($request-‐>getPathInfo()); $response = $parameters['_controller']($request); $response-‐>send();
None
None
None
Templating
• Simple, extensible templating engine • PHP! • Escaping, Inheritance
• Generic Interface to allow for easy engine replacement (Twig!)
<?php include 'config.php'; include
'header.php'; ?> <table> [...] / / here be dragons </table> <?php include 'footer.php' ?> 4.0 TM
layout.php [...] <div id="content"> <?php $view['slots']-‐>output('content'); ?>
</div> [...]
list.php <?php $view-‐>extend('layout.php') ?> <?php $view['slots']-‐>start('content') ?>
[...] <?php foreach ($tasks as $task): ?> <tr> <td><?php echo $task['title']; ?></td>/td> [...] </tr> <?php endforeach; ?> [...] <?php $view['slots']-‐>stop() ?>
Rendering $templating = new PhpEngine( new TemplateNameParser(),
new FilesystemLoader( array(__DIR__ . '/../templates/%name%') ) ); $html = $templating-‐>render( 'list.php', array( 'tasks' => $tasks ) );
Inside the Controller public function listAction(Request $request) {
// load tasks from db return new Response( $this-‐>templating-‐>render( 'list.php', array( 'urlGenerator' => $router-‐>getGenerator(), 'tasks' => $tasks ) ) ); }
Generating URLs [...] <div id="content"> <h1>
<a href= "<?php $urlGenerator-‐>generate('list'); ?>"> My Todo List </a> </h1> [...] </div> [...]
None
None
The all-in-one Router $context = new RequestContext(); $context-‐>fromRequest($request); $locator =
new FileLocator(__DIR__ . '/../config'); $router = new Router( new YamlFileLoader($locator), 'routing.yml', array( 'cache_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../cache' ), $context );
YAML Configuration list: pattern: /
methods: GET defaults: { _controller: list } show: pattern: /{id} methods: GET defaults: { _controller: show } create: pattern: / methods: POST defaults: { _controller: create }
Matcher and Generator $urlGenerator = $router-‐>getGenerator(); $matcher = $router-‐>getMatcher();
Call the (new) Controller $controller = // create controller instance
$parameters = $matcher-‐>match($request-‐>getPathInfo()); $response = call_user_func( array( $controller, $parameters['_controller'] . 'Action' ), $request ); $response-‐>send();
None
None
HttpKernel
HttpKernel • Provides a predefined workflow to convert a Request
into a Response • Events to hook into • Error Logging (optionally)
Let the kernel handle it. $dispatcher = new EventDispatcher(); $dispatcher-‐>addSubscriber(
new RouterListener($router-‐>getMatcher()) ); $resolver = new MyControllerResolver($controller); $kernel = new HttpKernel($dispatcher, $resolver); $request = Request::createFromGlobals(); $response = $kernel-‐>handle($request); $response-‐>send();
Controller Resolver? interface ControllerResolverInterface { public function getController(Request
$request); public function getArguments(Request $request, $controller); }
None
None
A look back $request = Request::createFromGlobals(); $response = $kernel-‐>handle($request);
BrowserKit & CssSelector
Base Test use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Client; class FunctionalTestCase extends \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
protected static function createClient() { $kernel = // somehow create a kernel return new Client($kernel); } }
A Test Case class IndexPageTest extends FunctionalTestCase {
public function testList() { $client = static::createClient(); $crawler = $client-‐>request('GET', '/'); $this-‐>assertEquals(200, $client-‐>getResponse()-‐>getStatusCode()); $this-‐>assertCount(1, $crawler-‐>filter('h1:contains("My Todos List")')); } }
Testing Forms $form = $crawler-‐>selectButton('send')-‐>form(); $client-‐>submit($form, array('title' => 'MyTask')); $this-‐>assertEquals(302,
$client-‐>getResponse()-‐>getStatusCode()); $crawler = $client-‐>followRedirect(); $this-‐>assertCount(1, $crawler-‐>filter(sprintf('a:contains("%s")', 'MyTask')));
None
None
Config & Yaml
Config • Locating, Loading, Caching of config files • Validation
of config files • Merging of cascading config sets
Loading Configuration Data $configPath = __DIR__ . '/../config/config.yml'; $config =
Yaml::parse($configPath);
Loading Configuration Data $cachePath = __DIR__ . '/../cache/config.php'; $configPath =
__DIR__ . '/../config/config.yml'; $configCache = new ConfigCache($cachePath, true); if (!$configCache-‐>isFresh()) { $resource = new FileResource($configPath); $code = '<?php return ' . var_export(Yaml::parse($configPath), true) . ';'; $configCache-‐>write($code, array($resource)); } $config = require $cachePath;
None
Console
Console • Easy setup for CLI scripts • Output formatting,
help system • Interactive dialogs
Commands use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command; class AddTaskCommand extends Command {
public function configure() { $this-‐>setName('todo:add'); $this-‐>setDescription('Add a new task to your todo list'); $this-‐>addArgument('title', InputArgument::OPTIONAL, 'The task title'); } // ... }
The Application use Symfony\Component\Console\Application; $db = // create PDO instance
$app = new Application('Todo List Helpers'); $app-‐>add(new AddTaskCommand($db)); $app-‐>add(new ExpireTasksCommand($db)); $app-‐>run();
None
None
Execution public function execute(InputInterface $input, OutputInterface $output) {
$dialog = $this-‐>getHelperSet()-‐>get('dialog'); $title = $dialog-‐>ask( $output, '<question>What do you have to do?</question> ' ); if ($title) { // do stuff $output-‐>writeln('<info>Task created.</info>'); } else { $output-‐>writeln('<error>No input given!</error>'); } }
None
None
What else is there? • Form • Security • Validator
• Event Dispatcher • Finder • Process • PropertyAccess • OptionsResolver • ...
