symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed — the seed for Symfony2 apps with Sonata Admin and Sonata User + MongoDB

This project is an application skeleton for a typical Symfony2 web app. You can use it to quickly bootstrap your Symfony2 webapp projects.

The seed contains a sample Symfony2 application and is preconfigured to install the Symfony2 framework.

Getting Started

To get you started you can simply clone the symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed repository and install the dependencies:

Prerequisites

As Symfony uses Composer to manage its dependencies, the recommended way to create a new project is to use it.

If you don't have Composer yet, download it following the instructions on http://getcomposer.org/ or just run the following command:

curl -s http://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Then, use the create-project command to generate a new Symfony application:

php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition path/to/install

Clone symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed

Clone the symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed repository using git:

git clone https://github.com/hats/symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed.git
cd symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed

Install Dependencies

Composer will install symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed and all its dependencies under the symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed directory so we can simply do:

php composer.phar install

Before starting, make sure that your local system is properly configured for symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed.

Find the app\config\parameters.yml and write you connection to MongoDB:

parameters:
    database_host: YOUR_DATABASE_IP
    database_port: YOUR_DATABASE_PORT
    database_name: YOUR_DATABASE_NAME

Also, you need to install fixtures and create indexes in MongoDB

php app/console doctrine:mongodb:fixtures:load
php app/console doctrine:mongodb:schema:create --index

Browsing the Demo Application

Congratulations! You're now ready to use symfony-sonata-mongodb-seed.
