Create a basic CRUD website with

Symfony 4.2 and some command line


helpers
First download symfony CLI from https://symfony.com/download
After that you can use the “symfony” command to create project
Create new symfony project:

symfony new --full --version=4.2 basic_crud

Go to the project folder

cd basic_crud

Modify the DATABASE_URL environment variable in the .env file connect with your database,


for example if you use localhost mysql with username root, password empty, database
name basic_crud_db

DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:@127.0.0.1:3306/basic_crud_db?
serverVersion=mariadb-10.4.11

You can create the database directly in your database client interface, or create by Symfony
command line:

php bin/console doctrine:database:create

PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 1


Now let’s make simple article entity (with the “name” property)

php bin/console make:entity

Create a migration file

bin/console make:migration

PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 2


The make:migration will create an instruction file contain SQL query

In order to create the table, run following command

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

Now new table “article” already been created in our basic_crud_db database


Let’s insert some mock data (via coding)
First install fixture which help to insert database record by symfony code

PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 3


composer require orm-fixtures --dev

It’s time to make a fixture

php bin/console make:fixtures

PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 4


Now open the fixture file at /src/DataFixtures/ArticleFixture.php and add some code to create 10
articles

Run the file to insert records into database

bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Now 10 article records already inserted into database, we can check it by the command:

PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 5


php bin/console doctrine:query:sql "select * from article"

Time to make the view & controller

php bin/console make:crud

PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 6


Now run the localhost website:
php bin/console server:run

We are done

PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 7


PROJECT WEB - WEBG301 8
