Silex Skeleton ORM

A simple Silex skeleton project with Twig, Doctrine, ORM, Bootstrap, jQuery and other common components.

To view the full list of dependancies, have a look at the composer.json file.

Based on Fabien Potencier's Silex Skeleton, but with more up to date dependencies and a different structure.

To install with composer

1. Install composer if you don't have it already:

$ curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

2. Grab this project as your base

$ php composer.phar create-project madebydavid/silex-skeleton-orm silex-project
$ cd silex-project

3. Configure the database in the dev config file:

$app['config'] = array(
    'db.options' => array(
        'driver'    => 'pdo_mysql',
        'dbname'    => 'skeleton-dev',
        'user'      => 'root',
        'password'  => ''
    )
);

4. Create the database which you have just configured:

$ mysqladmin -uroot create skeleton-dev

5. Create your model

You can create your model with Doctrine YAML documents in the config/doctrine/schema directory, make a new file called Model.EntityName.dcm.yml for each entity:

#config/doctrine/schema/Model.Person.dcm.yml
Model\Person:
    type: entity
    table: person
    fields:
        id:
            type: integer
            id: true
            generator:
                strategy: AUTO
        name:
            type: string
            length: 255
        created:
            type: datetime
            columnDefinition: TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

6. Generate the Entity classes from the YAML:

$ ./console orm:generate-entities src/

7. Create the schema:

$ ./console orm:schema-tool:create
