WEBVTT NOTE Created by CaptionSync from Automatic Sync Technologies www.automaticsync.com 00:00:00.106 --> 00:00:06.246 align:middle Welcome to the first Symfony 7 tutorial! 00:00:06.526 --> 00:00:11.006 align:middle My name is Ryan - I live here in the fantasy world of Symfonycasts and... 00:00:11.276 --> 00:00:15.156 align:middle I am beyond excited to be your guide through this series all 00:00:15.156 --> 00:00:17.236 align:middle about Symfony, web development... 00:00:17.426 --> 00:00:18.366 align:middle bad jokes... 00:00:18.466 --> 00:00:23.876 align:middle space animations, and most importantly, building real things we can be proud of. 00:00:24.436 --> 00:00:26.886 align:middle For me, it feels like I'm the lucky person that gets 00:00:26.886 --> 00:00:30.106 align:middle to give you a personal tour of the Enterprise... 00:00:30.106 --> 00:00:32.956 align:middle or whatever nerdy thing gets you most excited. 00:00:32.956 --> 00:00:35.376 align:middle And that's because, I love this stuff. 00:00:35.766 --> 00:00:40.706 align:middle Bootstrapping databases, building beautiful user interfaces, writing high-quality code... 00:00:40.896 --> 00:00:42.956 align:middle it gets me out of bed in the morning. 00:00:43.606 --> 00:00:46.646 align:middle And Symfony is the best tool to do all of this... 00:00:46.896 --> 00:00:49.076 align:middle and become a better developer along the way. 00:00:49.546 --> 00:00:54.786 align:middle And that's really my goal: I want you to enjoy all of this as much as I do ... 00:00:55.116 --> 00:01:00.166 align:middle and to feel empowered to build all the amazing things you have floating around in your mind. 00:01:00.926 --> 00:01:03.346 align:middle Now, one of my favorite things about teaching Symfony is 00:01:03.346 --> 00:01:05.726 align:middle that our project is going to start tiny. 00:01:06.036 --> 00:01:07.426 align:middle That makes it easy to learn. 00:01:07.786 --> 00:01:13.846 align:middle But then, it'll scale up automatically as we need more tools via a unique recipe system. 00:01:14.436 --> 00:01:19.116 align:middle Symfony is actually a collection of over 200 small PHP libraries. 00:01:19.286 --> 00:01:20.726 align:middle So that's a ton of tools... 00:01:20.866 --> 00:01:22.836 align:middle but we get to choose what we need. 00:01:23.466 --> 00:01:25.346 align:middle Because, you might be building a pure API... 00:01:25.736 --> 00:01:30.476 align:middle or a full web app, which is what we'll focus on in this tutorial. 00:01:30.936 --> 00:01:35.736 align:middle Though, if you are building an API, follow the first few tutorials in this series, 00:01:36.016 --> 00:01:38.986 align:middle then pop over to our API Platform tutorials. 00:01:39.606 --> 00:01:43.486 align:middle API Platform is a mind-blowingly fun & powerful system 00:01:43.486 --> 00:01:46.736 align:middle for making APIs, built right on top of Symfony. 00:01:47.426 --> 00:01:52.646 align:middle Symfony is also blazingly fast, has long-term support versions and works a lot 00:01:52.646 --> 00:01:58.696 align:middle on creating a delightful developer experience while keeping to programming best-practices. 00:01:59.146 --> 00:02:03.406 align:middle This means we get to write high-quality code and still get our work done quickly. 00:02:03.936 --> 00:02:06.086 align:middle Ok, enough of me gushing about Symfony. 00:02:06.346 --> 00:02:07.206 align:middle Ready to get to work? 00:02:07.516 --> 00:02:08.756 align:middle Then beam aboard. 00:02:08.756 --> 00:02:11.906 align:middle And head over to https://symfony.com/download. 00:02:12.406 --> 00:02:16.856 align:middle This page has instructions on how to download a standalone binary called symfony. 00:02:17.306 --> 00:02:19.626 align:middle Now this is not Symfony itself... 00:02:19.656 --> 00:02:24.646 align:middle it's just a little tool that'll help us do things, like start new Symfony projects, 00:02:24.646 --> 00:02:28.606 align:middle run a local web server or even deploy our app to production. 00:02:29.286 --> 00:02:33.856 align:middle Once you've downloaded and installed it, open a terminal and move into any directory. 00:02:34.566 --> 00:02:37.856 align:middle Check that the symfony binary is ready to go by running: symfony -- 00:02:37.856 --> 00:02:42.976 align:middle help It's got a bunch of commands, but we'll just need a few. 00:02:43.736 --> 00:02:49.836 align:middle Before we start a project, also run symfony check:req which stands for check requirements. 00:02:50.416 --> 00:02:53.826 align:middle This makes sure that we have everything on our system needed to run Symfony, 00:02:54.076 --> 00:02:57.666 align:middle like PHP at the correct version and some PHP extensions. 00:02:58.196 --> 00:03:01.086 align:middle Once this is happy, we can start a new project! 00:03:01.686 --> 00:03:04.746 align:middle Do it with symfony new and then a directory name. 00:03:05.076 --> 00:03:06.776 align:middle I'll call mine starshop. 00:03:07.036 --> 00:03:08.306 align:middle More on that later. 00:03:09.356 --> 00:03:13.156 align:middle This will give us a tiny project with only the base things installed. 00:03:13.666 --> 00:03:17.096 align:middle Then, we'll add more stuff little-by-little along the way. 00:03:17.096 --> 00:03:18.146 align:middle It's gonna be great! 00:03:18.676 --> 00:03:21.016 align:middle But later, when you feel comfortable with Symfony, 00:03:21.306 --> 00:03:25.666 align:middle if you want to get started more quickly, you can run the same command, but with -- 00:03:25.666 --> 00:03:29.066 align:middle webapp to get a project with much more stuff pre-installed. 00:03:29.696 --> 00:03:35.176 align:middle Anyway, move into the directory - cd starshop - then I'll type ls to check things out. 00:03:35.676 --> 00:03:40.826 align:middle Cool! We'll get to know these files in the next chapter, but this is our project... 00:03:40.826 --> 00:03:42.496 align:middle and it's already working! 00:03:43.016 --> 00:03:46.056 align:middle To see it working in a browser, we need to start a web server. 00:03:46.636 --> 00:03:50.966 align:middle You can use any web server you want - Apache, Nginx, Caddy, whatever. 00:03:51.586 --> 00:03:56.726 align:middle But for local development, I highly recommend using the symfony binary we just installed. 00:03:57.346 --> 00:04:03.516 align:middle Run: symfony serve The first time you do this, it might ask you to run another command to set 00:04:03.706 --> 00:04:08.966 align:middle up an SSL certificate, which is nice because then the server supports https. 00:04:09.596 --> 00:04:10.786 align:middle And... bam! 00:04:10.946 --> 00:04:16.996 align:middle We have a new web server for our project running at https://127.0.0.1:8000. 00:04:17.516 --> 00:04:21.856 align:middle Copy that, spin over to your most favorite browser, paste and... 00:04:22.186 --> 00:04:23.756 align:middle welcome to Symfony 7! 00:04:23.756 --> 00:04:25.286 align:middle That's what I was going to say! 00:04:25.916 --> 00:04:29.746 align:middle Next, let's sit down, order some Earl Grey tea, and become friends 00:04:29.746 --> 00:04:31.776 align:middle with every file in our new app... 00:04:31.946 --> 00:04:33.346 align:middle which isn't very many.
