Install on a new Sylius project¶
Netgen provides an uptodate installation of Sylius with Netgen Layouts pre-installed. The installation is based on Sylius Standard Edition, ready to be used as a base for your new project.
This installation can later be used to upgrade to future versions of Sylius by following official upgrade instructions.
Create a database¶
Create a database for your project with:
CREATE DATABASE sylius_dev CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci;
Use Composer¶
Install Composer and execute the following from a directory of your choice:
$ composer create-project netgen/layouts-sylius-site my_project
$ cd my_project
Create a .env.local
file in the project root directory to specify database
connection details:
DATABASE_URL=mysql://user:pass@127.0.0.1/sylius_%kernel.environment%
Finally, run the Sylius install wizard:
$ php bin/console sylius:install
$ yarn install
$ yarn build
Import Netgen Layouts database tables¶
Run the following command from the project root to import Netgen Layouts database tables:
$ php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate --configuration=vendor/netgen/layouts-core/migrations/doctrine.yaml
Note
If you are using Doctrine Migrations for other parts of your app and generate a new migration with
doctrine:migrations:diff
console command, the generated migration will now include SQL commands that drop
Netgen Layouts tables. To prevent this from happening, you can add the following config to your Doctrine
configuration (if you already have schema_filter
config, update it accordingly):
doctrine:
dbal:
schema_filter: ~^(?!nglayouts_)~
Start the app¶
You can use the web server included with Symfony CLI to serve the app:
$ symfony server:ca:install # For HTTPS support, only needs to be ran once
$ symfony server:start
After that, open https://127.0.0.1:8000
in your browser to run the app.
