Welcome to Bamboo e-commerce - a fully-functional e-commerce application built using Elcodi components on top of the Symfony framework.
Yes, you got it right! Bamboo uses the Symfony framework but our components are framework agnostic, that is, they only depend on the Symfony components as opposed to the whole framework or any of its distributions.
Why should I use Bamboo? That's simple, to sell your products. We provide you with an interface to sell your products and manage your store. You only have to focus on offering a good product, we take care of the rest.
We're trying to build this project with a light default dependencies. These are ours.
To use Bamboo and Elcodi you need a PHP version not lower than 5.4. For more info just visit their installation page
This PHP extension is used to being already installed when you add PHP in your distribution
Images are a really important part of an store. Bamboo uses PHP GD to resize and optimize all product images. For more info just visit their installation page
After that, you will be able to change the adapter and use other implementations.
And, where do you save your data? By default we use MySQL, remember to install it as well as its extension for PHP. For more info just visit their installation page
Composer is required to manage dependencies.
if you have not yet installed Composer, download it following the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:
$ curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | phpIf you're used to working with LAMP environment, then you will have Bamboo running in your computer in less than 5 minutes.
After installing composer you can create your new Bamboo project.
$ php composer.phar create-project elcodi/bamboo bamboo -sdevThe installation process will ask you for some parameters like the database driver, username, password, database name, etc
Enter your directory to start the configuration step and use our magic command to create a complete development environment. Just one single line to rule them all
$ cd bamboo/
$ php app/console elcodi:installBy default only Spain will be installed. We have focused this step to run as
fast as possible, so then, you'll be able to install more countries. You can add
some countries in addition by using the --country command option.
$ php app/console elcodi:install --country=FR --country=ITOur store is ready to run. Use the built-in server to take a look at the project.
$ php app/console server:runYou're done! Visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser and take a look at
what we have for you :) Use these Customer credentials in the store
Customer username: customer@customer.com
Customer password: 1234
And for the admin panel, use this Admin credentials.
Admin username: admin@admin.com
Admin password: 1234
Remember to remove these users properly as soon as you're in production.
Metrics are not enabled by default. If you want to enable them, then you need to install Redis. For more info just visit their installation page
In order to use the last Redis features, like the HyperLogLog commands, be
sure your Redis version is at least v2.8.9.
By default, Bamboo is installed without any doctrine cache. You can change this
settings by changing the file app/cache/config/common/cache.yml and by
changing the value array for another one.
You can check some documentation about different types of cache in the Doctrine Cache Bundle repository page.
The most used cache type in Bamboo is redis. Make sure then that you have the
php redis extension installed properly.
We are doing some tests, and this will be in cresciendo. You can ensure yourself that all the cases we've been working on are actually green. We are using Behat and PHPUnit, so you only need to execute all suites by using this piece of code.
$ php bin/behat
$ php bin/phpunit -c app
$ php app/console visithor:go --format=pretty --env=testYou can report any issue on Bamboo or Elcodi
