Symfony 4 React API Platform

Application coded during this course.
I deviated from the course quite a lot to add more features and explore server side rendering with Limenius/ReactBundle.

Setup

Install dependencies

composer install yarn

Create .env.local (see .env.your_env.local.dist)

Customize all empty variables.

If you use MariaDB, DB_VERSION should start with mariadb- then the version number, else only specifying the version number should suffice.

Setup LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle

php bin/console lexik:jwt:generate-keypair

Setup database

php bin/console doctrine:database:create php bin/console doctrine:migration:migrate

Run in dev env

Run in dedicated terminals:

• symfony server:start
• yarn encore:dev
• yarn encore:dev:serverside
• node renderingExternalServer.js

Deployment

You may need to add export PATH=$PATH:/home/{user}/.nvm/versions/node/{version}/bin (replace {user} and {version}) to /etc/apache2/envvars, so the SSR bundle is able to run JS server side.
