The PropelServiceProvider provides Silex integration with Propel
- The
1.x
branch contains Propel 1.6 integration. - The
2.x
branch contains Propel2 integration.
Note: the following instructions are relative to PropelServiceProvider used with Propel2 (branch 2.x). For PropelServiceProvider used with Propel 1, please switch to branch 1.x.
If you want to use PropelServiceProvider, you will need:
- Silex 1.x
- PHP 5.4 or greater
- Composer
To setup the project in your Silex application, you have to rely on composer ;
just add the following to your composer.json
file:
"require": {
"propel/propel-service-provider": "2.x"
}
Then register you model namespace in Composer autoload:
"autoload": {
"psr-0": { "Your\\Model\\Namespace": "path/of/your/model" }
}
Then install Composer and all dependencies:
wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
php composer.phar install
- propel.config_file (optional): The name of Propel configuration file with full path.
Default is
/full/project/path/generated-conf/config.php
It's strongly recommanded to use absolute paths for previous option.
No service is provided.
Propel configures and manages itself by using static methods and its own service container, so no service is registered into Application. Actually, the PropelServiceProvider class initializes Propel in a more "Silex-ian" way.
After you've installed PropelServiceProvider and its dependencies, you can register PropelServiceProvider in your application:
<?php
$app->register(new Propel\Silex\PropelServiceProvider(), array(
'propel.config_file' => __DIR__.'/path/to/myproject-conf.php'
));
Alternatively, if you built your model with default Propel generator options:
<?php
$app->register(new Propel\Silex\PropelServiceProvider());
We can consider "default" Propel generator options:
- Put
schema.xml
files into the main directory project - Run
vendor/bin/propel model:build
command without specify any options about directories and namespace package.
You'll have to build the model by yourself. According to Propel documentation, you'll need two files:
-
schema.xml
which contains your database schema; -
runtime-conf.xml
which contains the database configuration.
Use the vendor/bin/propel
script to create all files (SQL, configuration, Model classes).
vendor/bin/propel model:build
vendor/bin/propel config:convert-xml
vendor/bin/propel sql:build
