Symfonys facade for Laravel5

This package lets you use Symfony2 specific bundles inside Laravel5 application. Simply add you Symfony centric bundle to composer.json install it, configure it and enjoy it ;), _(*2)

It supporst such features as:, _(*3)

• Symfony's dependency injection container that loads from standard symfony config files., _(*4)

• Route porting. Routes that are configured in routes.yml files are being accessible from Laravel., _(*5)

• Symfony commands can be executed with artisan command of from admin form., _(*6)

  As this package is still in early beta, not all functions and compatibilities are tested and developed., _(*7)

Installation and configuration

Add it to composer:, _(*8)

$ composer require vilnius-technology/symfonys-facade dev-master, _(*9)

Register pacakage

Add this to the bottom of your config\app.php in to providers key:, _(*10)

  /*
  * Custom
  */
 'VilniusTechnology\SymfonysFacade\SymfonysFacadeServiceProvider',

In namespace VilniusTechnology (path: $LARVEL_PROJECT_ROOT/packages/VilniusTechnology/) create file SymfonyBundles.php, with these contents:, _(*11)

``` php <?php, <sub>(*12)</sub>

namespace VilniusTechnology;

class SymfonyBundles
{
    public static function getBundles()
    {
        return [
        ];
    }
}

This is where your Symfony bundles will be registered. Familiar isn't it? :)

Add bundle loading class namespace loading to composer.json:
```json
 "psr-4": {
             "App\\": "app/",
             "VilniusTechnology\\": "packages/VilniusTechnology/"
         }

You can change it to your, but if you will follow tutorial, this is default registered bundles loader. More details in configuration section., <sub>(*13)</sub>

Now run composer dump-autoload., <sub>(*14)</sub>

Copy contents of vendor/vilnius-technology/symfony-facade/Tests/symfony/config to storage/app/symfony/config. You can do this by running command: mkdir storage/app/symfony/config ; cp -a vendor/vilnius-technology/symfonys-facade/Tests/symfony/config storage/app/symfony., <sub>(*15)</sub>

Into console run command: php artisan symfony:command 'debug:container'., <sub>(*16)</sub>

If you got a list of symfonys services, congrats. Now You can move to symfonys bundle instalations on Laravel 5.1 tutorial., <sub>(*17)</sub>

Follow this example tutorial tutorial to get know, how precisely install Symfony2 bundles, with default configuration, <sub>(*18)</sub>

As you noticed You can use symfony commands by passing them to php artisan symfony:command '$SYMFONY2_COMMAND', <sub>(*19)</sub>

Customizable configuration

First you can enter configuration parameters in app.php file., <sub>(*20)</sub>

This can be done by adding following lines to app.php file:, <sub>(*21)</sub>

    'symfonysfacade_app_dir' => 'storage/symfony', #relative to laravel app dir
    'symfonysfacade_log_dir' => 'storage/symfony/logs', #relative to laravel app dir
    'symfonysfacade_bundles' => '\VilniusTechnology\SymfonyBundles',

If you wont do that default, ones are set in $LARVEL_PROJECT_ROOT/storage/app/symfony/env ending with your projects deployment environment., <sub>(*22)</sub>

Setting symfonysfacade_app_dir - specifies symfony working directory path (where cache and config.yml files are stored). Cache and log directories will be stored there also., <sub>(*23)</sub>

Setting symfonysfacade_bundles - specifies namespace where Symfonys bundles are registered. In this case use \VilniusTechnology\SymfonyBundles, if you are following this document as tutorial. In other words namespace from:, <sub>(*24)</sub>

 "psr-4": {
            [ ... ]
            "VilniusTechnology\\": "packages/VilniusTechnology/",
            [ ... ]
         }

should be used., <sub>(*25)</sub>

In this file, you will be registering your Symfony bundles., <sub>(*26)</sub>

In path that was specified in symfonysfacade_app_dir (storage/symfony) create directory config In it you should create or copy, usual symfonys configuration files (config.yml, parameters.yml and security.yml)., <sub>(*27)</sub>

This bundle is under the MIT license., <sub>(*28)</sub>

Some other stuff

Probably there is natural question, why use Symfony's bundles in Laravel. Answer is: Because I wanted so... :D, <sub>(*29)</sub>

Yes for libraries, not bundles, there is no need to use such thing. But in World Wide Web there is many good bundles, that are using actual Symfony framework., <sub>(*30)</sub>

So as I wanted to use Symfony specific bundle in Laravel5 project, that I didnt saw to be ported easily. At the end of the day we have this package., <sub>(*31)</sub>

Also this facde can be usefull if in need of fast prototyping. Jus include it, register it and you have Symfony inside Laravel5 ;), <sub>(*32)</sub>
