- 4. SHORTCUT SYNTAX $ app/console d:s:v The above is equivalent to: $ app/console doctrine:schema:validate If the shortcut is ambiguous the console helps you out
- 5. COMMANDS ARE SELF DOCUMENTING $ app/console help twig:lint
- 6. OTHER GENERAL NOTES Always be aware of what environment you need to run your command in Don't use interactive mode without a good reason. It will bite you
- 7. THE COMMANDS NOW THAT WE KNOW HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE LETS EXPLORE THE COMMANDS
- 8. ASSETIC Dumps all your assets (CSS/JS) and applies all configured filters $ app/console assetic:dump Scans your files for changes and reprocesses any modified files. $ app/console assetic:dump --watch Combine this with the following configuration for a huge speedup in dev #config.yml assetic: use_controller: false
- 9. ASSETS:INSTALL $ app/console assets:install Copy Resources/public from every bundle to the web directory Symfony has a composer post install/update hook to do this for you Tip: put this in your composer.json and you'll never have to run this command again "extra": { "symfony-assets-install": "symlink" }
- 10. CACHE:CLEAR $ app/console cache:clear Clears the application cache for a given environment This is the first thing I try whenever I encounter weirdness Note the importance of specifying an environment. Each env has its own cache
- 11. CONFIG:DUMP-REFERENCE $ app/console config:dump-reference First run this without any arguments to see all registered bundles $ app/console config:dump-reference twig Then supply a bundle name or alias to view all configuration options and defaults
- 12. CONFIG:DEBUG $ app/console config:debug Very similar to config:dump-reference except that it shows your actual configuration $ app/console config:debug twig Like the last command you can then view the configuration for a bundle
- 13. CONTAINER:DEBUG $ app/console container:debug I use this heaps with grep $ app/console container:debug | grep form Also useful: $ app/console container:debug --tag=form.type
- 14. GENERATE:BUNDLE $ app/console generate:bundle This is the first thing I do when starting a new project
- 15. DOCTRINE:GENERATE:ENTITY $ app/console doctrine:generate:entity Fantastic for quickly stubbing out entities on the command line Demo!
- 16. DOCTRINE:GENERATE:CRUD $ app/console doctrine:generate:crud Creates a form type, controller and templates Another massive timesaver
- 17. DOCTRINE:GENERATE:ENTITIES $ app/console doctrine:generate:entities Creates entity class from your mapping The secret trick is it safely updates existing entities too!
- 18. OTHER HANDY DOCTRINE COMMANDS doctrine:database:create Creates the configured databases doctrine:database:drop Drops the configured databases doctrine:mapping:convert Convert mapping information between supported formats. doctrine:mapping:import Imports mapping information from an existing database doctrine:mapping:info Shows basic information about all mapped entities doctrine:query:dql Executes arbitrary DQL directly from the command line. doctrine:query:sql Executes arbitrary SQL directly from the command line. doctrine:schema:create Executes (or dumps) the SQL needed to generate the database doctrine:schema:drop Executes (or dumps) the SQL needed to drop the current doctrine:schema:update Executes (or dumps) the SQL needed to update the database doctrine:schema:validate Validates the doctrine mapping files
- 19. SECURITY:CHECK $ app/console security:check Sends your composer.lock file to the SensioLabs Security to see if any dependencies have know security issues Checker Work this in to your CI environment!
- 20. SERVER:RUN $ app/console server:run Spin up a webserver on localhost:8000 Single threaded, so serving assets takes a while PHP 5.4+ It should go without saying but don't use this in production!
