How to Create a basic CRUD with Symfony 4.3

Hi there, today I am going to show how to create a basic CRUD  with Symfony 4.3.

Please refer to my previous tutorial for Symfony installation Symfony Installation.

Database Configuration:

Modify the environment variable in the .env file connect with your database.

my_symfony_db

DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:@127.0.0.1:3306/my_symfony_db

Create your database using the following command in your cmd prompt.

bin/console doctrine:database:create

Let's create a simple Entity in the name article

EntityType Field: A special ChoiceType field that's designed to load options from a Doctrine entity.

bin/console make:entity 

 Now Let's migrate a database

 bin/console make:migration

The make:migration will create an instruction file contain SQL query

Let's Create a table with information from the migration file

bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

Now new table “article” already been created in our my_symfony_db database Let's Insert some dummy values through PHP.

First, install fixture which helps to insert database record by Symfony code

Doctrine fixtures are PHP classes where you can create objects and persist them to the database. 

composer require orm-fixtures --dev 

Make Fixture using the following command

 fixture bin/console make:fixtures

Now open the fixture file at /src/DataFixtures/ArticleFixture.php and add some code to create 10 articles

Run the file to insert records into the database

bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Let's create crud using following command

bin/console make:crud 

Run the command and check your localhost on the browser.

bin/console server:run

 Now we are going to add bootstrap style in templates/article/base.html.twig

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
