What do I get from the full stack framework?

What do I get from the full stack framework? By
Richard Miller (@mr_r_miller)

We're developers who want to get stuff done and enjoy
it

We often have to write a lot of boiler plate/infrastructure
code

Remove barriers between you and the interesting code

You want to write the application not wire up the
parts

You get a powerful set of components for web tasks
Routing HTTP Foundation Templating Form Security HTTP Kernel Clas Load

They are already wired up in the framework

You don't want to write the repetitive code

You can generate the bundle

Bundles give you a common directory structure

You can generate the CRUD actions, views and forms

You get to concentrate on what the application does

You want to write quick config not slow boiler plate
code

Assetic comes with the standard distribution Monolog Swiftmailer Assetic Twig

Setting up assets and filters with Assetic alone

Creating a controller action to serve the assets

You can let the bundle do that for you

Replace the boiler plate code with config

Twig extension makes front end integration easy

You get to code other things because config is quick
to write

What do the bundles give you? Number of files Lines
of code PHP 756 10,887 XML 42 1637

This is similar for other components

Also for third party libraries

Everyone is happy with the quick progress made

You want to learn the good bits of new technologies
and libraries

You want to use elasticsearch

You could use Elastica directly

You could index data directly with Elastica

You can let 3rd party bundles do that for you

The bundle configures it for you

The indexing is already done in bundle

You get to work in terms you already know

The index is available as a service you are familiar
with

You get this for lots of libraries/bundles

You can spend time on adding functionality to your application

Remove barriers between you and the interesting code
