The Delightful World of Vue.js

Well hi there! This repository holds the code and script for the The Delightful World of Vue.js course on SymfonyCasts.

Setup

If you've just downloaded the code, congratulations!!

To get it working, pour some coffee or tea, and follow these steps:

Download Composer dependencies

Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:

composer install

You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending on how you installed Composer.

Install node dependencies

Make sure you have Yarn installed and then run:

yarn install
yarn watch

Alternatively, you can run yarn dev-server --hot to enable HMR (hot module reloading) where changes show up before you run refresh! For this to work, you will need to visit your site via http instead of https.

Configure the .env (or .env.local) File

Open the .env file and make any adjustments you need - specifically DATABASE_URL. Or, if you want, you can create a .env.local file and override any configuration you need there (instead of changing .env directly).

Set up the Database

Again, make sure .env is set up for your computer. Then, create the database & tables!

php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

If you get an error that the database exists, that should be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.

Start the development web server

You can use Nginx or Apache, but Symfony's local web server works even better.

To install the Symfony local web server, follow "Downloading the Symfony client" instructions found here: https://symfony.com/download - you only need to do this once on your system.

Then, to start the web server, open a terminal, move into the project, and run:

symfony serve --allow-http

(If this is your first time using this command, you may see an error that you need to run symfony server:ca:install first).

Now check out the site at https://localhost:8000

Have fun!

Have Ideas, Feedback or an Issue?

If you have suggestions or questions, please feel free to open an issue on this repository or comment on the course itself. We're watching both :).
