SymfonyCasts - React with Symfony

Setup

If you've just downloaded the code, congratulations!

To get it working, follow these steps:

Download Composer dependencies

Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:

composer install

You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending on how you installed Composer.

Setup the Database

Open .env and make sure the DATABASE_URL setting is correct for your system.

Then, create the database and the schema!

php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

If you get an error that the database exists, that should be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.

Build your Assets

To build your assets, install the dependencies with yarn and then run encore:

yarn install
yarn run encore dev --watch

Start the built-in web server

You can use Nginx or Apache, but the built-in web server works great:

php bin/console server:run
