Symfony 4 is lightweight

$ tree -I vendor
Only 16 files
vs 31 SE

$ find . -type f | wc -l

3300 total
vs 8867 SE
-65%
New directory structure
• Less depth, easier to navigate

• Non-PHP files in their own directories

(assets/, templates/)

• Decoupled from Symfony (assets/, src/,

templates/, public/)

Aliases
• Shortcuts for common packages (log, behat,
phpunit, …)

• Optimized for Symfony Components (no need

to use the symfony/ prefix, just workflow, dom-crawler, …)

• Opinionated choices (admin, api, orm, mailer, test,

…)
Packs
• Bundle several dependencies into a
consistent set (debug, profiler, api, test, …)
$ composer req debug

Adding Twig

 Adding a Twig Extension
hmm, ok

Which interface/class
do I need to implement/ Which tag do I need
extend? It’s too complex. What
to use? about doing it the dirty
way and do it in the
controller instead?

Which file do I How do I declare a

Where do I store

class?
Adding a Twig Extension

$ ./bin/console make:twig-extension

Add your logic in the

generated class…

DONE!
Full Automation works for…
• Twig extensions

• Event listeners

• Doctrine repositories

• Commands

• Voters

• Registration form system

•…
Beyond “Hello World”
• Defining some models via Doctrine

• Adding an API for my model

• Managing data with an admin

Full stack really quick

$ composer req orm admin api

Symfony 4 recap
• Auto-configuration for any Composer package

• A Maker bundle to simplify creating files

Better DX
• No boilerplate code, just business logic

• Controllers and commands as services

Productivity
• From micro to monolith boost!

• Meta-packages doing a lot for you out of the box
