Yappa Blog:
Symfony Components in a Legacy PHP application
Jun 21, 2016 @ 17:50:13

On the Yappa Tech blog Joeri Verdeyen has written up a post covering the integration of modern Symfony components into a legacy application with a relatively simple container setup and configuration.

Symfony Components are a set of decoupled and reusable PHP libraries. They are becoming the standard foundation on which the best PHP applications are built. You can use any of these components in any of your applications independently from the Symfony Framework.

[...] The purpose of this post is to roughly describe how to implement some of the Symfony Components. I've created a set of gists to get started. You should already know how Symfony Components work in the Symfony Framework.

He starts with an example Composer configuration pulling in some of the more popular Symfony packages (like VarDumper and FormBuilder). He then includes the code to bootstrap the container instance and the services.yml he's come up with to bootstrap and integrate all of the components. The tutorial ends with examples of putting some of these components to use in resolving controllers, using the FormBuilder, using the command line and outputting errors with the VarDumper.
