Symfony Demo Application

The "Symfony Demo Application" is a reference application created to show how to develop applications following the [Symfony Best Practices][1].

Requirements

• PHP 7.3 or higher;
• PDO-SQLite PHP extension enabled;
• and the [usual Symfony application requirements][2].

Installation

[Download Symfony][4] to install the symfony binary on your computer and run this command:

$ symfony new --demo my_project

Alternatively, you can use Composer:

$ composer create-project symfony/symfony-demo my_project

Usage

There's no need to configure anything to run the application. If you have [installed Symfony][4] binary, run this command:

$ cd my_project/
$ symfony serve

Then access the application in your browser at the given URL (https://localhost:8000 by default).

If you don't have the Symfony binary installed, run php -S localhost:8000 -t public/ to use the built-in PHP web server or [configure a web server][3] like Nginx or Apache to run the application.

Tests

Execute this command to run tests:

$ cd my_project/
$ ./bin/phpunit
