WARNING: This bundle is an example bundle created in https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/symfony-bundle
and is not meant to be used as a dependency in a real application!, (*1)
Hello LoremIpsumBundle!
LoremIpsumBundle is a way for you to generate "fake text" into
your Symfony application, but with just a little bit more joy
than your normal lorem ipsum., (*2)
Install the package with:, (*3)
composer require knpuniversity/lorem-ipsum-bundle --dev
And... that's it! If you're not using Symfony Flex, you'll also
need to enable the KnpU\LoremIpsumBundle\KnpULoremIpsumBundle
in your AppKernel.php
file., (*4)
Usage
This bundle provides a single service for generating fake text, which
you can autowire by using the KnpUIpsum
type-hint:, (*5)
// src/Controller/SomeController.php
use KnpU\LoremIpsumBundle\KnpUIpsum;
// ...
class SomeController
{
public function index(KnpUIpsum $knpUIpsum)
{
$fakeText = $knpUIpsum->getParagraphs();
// ...
}
}
You can also access this service directly using the id
knpu_lorem_ipsum.knpu_ipsum
., (*6)
Configuration
A few parts of the generated text can be configured directly by
creating a new config/packages/knpu_lorem_ipsum.yaml
file. The
default values are:, (*7)
# config/packages/knpu_lorem_ipsum.yaml
knpu_lorem_ipsum:
# Whether or not you believe in unicorns
unicorns_are_real: true
# How much do you like sunshine?
min_sunshine: 3
Extending the Word List
If you're feeling especially creative and excited, you can add
your own words to the word generator!, (*8)
To do that, create a class that implements WordProviderInterface
:, (*9)
namespace App\Service;
use KnpU\LoremIpsumBundle\WordProviderInterface;
class CustomWordProvider implements WordProviderInterface
{
public function getWordList(): array
{
return ['beach'];
}
}
And... that's it! If you're using the standard service configuration,
your new class will automatically be registered as a service and used
by the system. If you are not, you will need to register this class
as a service and tag it with knpu_ipsum_word_provider
., (*10)
Contributing
Of course, open source is fueled by everyone's ability to give just a little bit
of their time for the greater good. If you'd like to see a feature or add some of
your own happy words, awesome! Tou can request it - but creating a pull request
is an even better way to get things done., (*11)
Either way, please feel comfortable submitting issues or pull requests: all contributions
and questions are warmly appreciated :)., (*12)
