Slicework with Symfony2

gistfile1.md

Slivework is a new metaframework which aims to share functinality through different PHP frameworks. It takes business logic from controller to service classes. The service layer leaves all http processing to current framework and moves all business into it. Controllers are forbidden to access database directly, all db operations is passed to service. Sliceworks uses Doctrine ORM + ODM.

Slicework in Symfony 2

1. Each slice is a Symfony2 bundle

src/Slicework/UserBundle/ src/Slicework/UserMessagingBundle/ src/Slicework/UserInvitesBundle/ ....

Directory structure

- Dependency

- Slice
-- UserService

- Repository

- Entitiy
-- model
-- model
-- model

2. Each independent slice is installed in this bundle by symfony command.

./app/sf slice:install UserMessaging

3. Schema should be updated

4. Each Slice can be extended in any other bundle MyBundle/Slice/UserService < Slicework/Slice/UserService

5. In controller you can use a service.

<?php 

class PageController {

		protected $service
	

		function createAction($name, $body) {
			$this->service = $this->container->get('slice.page_service');
			$page_id = $this->service
				->doBefore(function($page) { $page->setCreatedBy('user'); })
				->doAfterUpdateAuthorProfile($user)
				->create($name, $body);

			return $this->render('AcmeHelloBundle:Hello:index.html.twig', array('page' => $this->service->fetch($page_id)));				
	}

}
?>
