Symfony-React RESTful Boilerplate

A boilerplate with two separated applications: RESTful API (created through the Symfony 4 PHP framework) and SPA (the React JavaScript library respectively). It contains a user implementation with advanced functions suitable for most projects. The following features are included:

• Account management
• Confirmation via email (password reset, account activation, email change)
• Administrative interface

The main components of the Symfony part:

• Annotations (FrameworkExtraBundle)
• Doctrine
• Doctrine Migrations

The main components of the React part:

• Webpack
• Babel (ES6+ and JSX)
• Hot Module Replacement
• Flow
• ESLint
• Redux
• Bootstrap 4

Installation

Symfony

1. Install application dependencies:

composer install

2. Configure parameters in the config/packages/doctrine.yaml and .env files according to your needs.

php bin/console lexik:jwt:generate-keypair

4. Create the database:

php bin/console doctrine:database:create

5. Create the schema migration and migrate it:

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:diff
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

6. Create a super administrator:

php bin/console app:create-super-admin email@example.com password

React

1. Install application dependencies:

yarn install

2. Generate library definitions for dependencies (use this command when you add new third-party libraries into your code):

yarn run flow-typed install

3. Change URLs in the src/constants/callConstants.js file on your own way.
4. Run the application in a development mode:

yarn run start

Commands

Symfony

• php bin/console list - lists all available commands

React

• yarn run start - starts a development server that provides live reloading
• yarn run build - launches a build process for a production
• yarn run flow - runs the Flow library
• yarn run lint - runs the ESLint library
