Cosmic Coding with Symfony 7

Hey @john-erney-rojas ,

Thank you for your interest in SymfonyCasts tutorials! This course should be the next and we will start releasing it very soon :)

Cheers!

Hey @symfonyace ,

That's the plan with the AssetMapper actually! But you know, the programming world is changing quickly :) But AssetMapper really has a big potential to stay on top pretty long.

Cheers!

Hey @Wiktor-B

Sorry for my late reply. I think Tailwind is purging your classes because it didn't find them at compilation time. Double-check your config and be sure that Tailwind is looking at the right places (also pay attention to dynamic classes, those are hard to find as well)

// tailwind.config.js

module.exports = {
  content: [
    './templates/**/*.html.twig',
    './assets/**/*.js',
    './src/**/*.php', // in case you add dynamic classes via PHP 
    // Add more if needed
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [],
};

Hey Glouton,

Good question! Yeah, executing console via symfony binary, i.e. symfony console ... gives you more advantages as it covers Docker, look at the correct PHP version if you have several installed, etc. So, I would recommend you to execute it via symfony binary, both symfony console or symfony composer commands if you have that installed.

But we don't want to make that symfony binary a requirement for users who are following our tutorials. Symfony app is always shipped with the console out of the box, so that's the "low-level" thing to use :) But if you have symfony bin installed - use it instead for running Symfony and Composer commands.

Cheers!

Hi Victor,

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.

It does make sense indeed to show how to use the "original" tools but I was wondering because in chapter one the very first steps are to install the symfony binary and then use it to create the new Starshop project.

I will continue to call these via the symfony binary because, on my development workstation, if I call composer require directly then it throws errors as it uses the default PHP 8.0.3 from the system instead of PHP 8.3.19, even though I've run module load php83 and add a .php-version file.

Anyway, I thought it might be worth mentioning.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Hey @glouton!

I actually only realized symfony composer exists - makes total sense. You make some great points. We'll have an internal discussion about standardizing in future tutorials.

Cheers!
Kevin

Hi @kbond

Happy if I could make my teeny-weeny contribution.

Cheers!

Hi there,

Now that I've finished this tutorial I just wanted to add that Ryan does mention and use symfony console at the end.

Thanks again for your awesome work.

Hey @Lorenzo!

You should be able to download the course code (top right in the first chapter).

This is the public Github repo for this course but it has some internal stuff that might make it harder to work with. The downloaded course code would be best.

Hey CR,

This course should be perfect for you to get into Symfony Introduction, so you started from the right course! Next, see the Symfony 7 track: https://symfonycasts.com/tracks/symfony7 - or use our advanced search to find more relevant topics you're looking for, or you can always drop us a line for advice about where to go next ;)

Cheers!

Hey @ashapurasoftech ,

Are you talking about our updated design? We're still working hard on it transferring more pages. And thank you for your feedback, our team is really happy to hear it!

Cheers!

Hey Jon,

Thank you for the feedback! We're really happy to hear it :) More redesigned pages are coming soon.

Cheers!

Hey @odds!

Thanks for the nice comment - I appreciate you!

It feels you're not finishing tutorials before the next big Symfony upgrade where you start from scratch

That's super true - and my fault for Symfony 6. We're going to be better for Symfony 7. Unfortunately, we can't just focus on the differences between the versions or point people at a Symfony 6 tutorial and say "this is still relevant". Well, we do that sometimes, but it's not ideal. When people are learning Symfony "7", they really need all the tutorials to be consistent, full & new for that version. That being said, it is a challenge to update all of them. But we're improving some processes internally. We just need to be faster :).

TIP: Symfony 7 goes into SPA, could you also include PWA (Progressive Web App)?

I've been diving into this lately! Expect to see this topic coming up - hopefully with a tutorial - this year. Related PR: https://github.com/symfony/ux/pull/1350

Cheers!

These were the plans, but than your life got turned upside down... How are you now?

Hey @odds!

I don't know if you ever watched it, but your message reminded me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nCqRmx3Dnw

So thanks for that :D

These were the plans, but than your life got turned upside down... How are you now?

Right? Wow. Stable for the moment: enjoying my family & life, which includes doing work here!

Fortunately Kevin is now "spun up" & I'm also recording, so we're hoping to accelerate.

Not sure about PWAs this year, I'm also interested in https://turbo.hotwired.dev/handbook/native but haven't played with it yet

Cheers!
