Well hi there! This repository holds the code and script for the Messenger! Queue work for Later course on SymfonyCasts.
If you've just downloaded the code, congratulations!!
To get it working, follow these steps:
Download Composer dependencies
Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:
composer install
You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending
on how you installed Composer.
Configure the .env (or .env.local) File
Open the .env file and make any adjustments you need - specifically
DATABASE_URL. Or, if you want, you can create a .env.local file
and override any configuration you need there (instead of changing
.env directly).
Setup the Database
Again, make sure .env is setup for your computer. Then, create
the database & tables!
php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
If you get an error that the database exists, that should
be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the
database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.
Compiling Webpack Encore Assets
This tutorial uses Webpack Encore, which isn't important to understand what's going on, but is important to get our app running. Make sure to install Node and also yarn. Then run:
yarn install
yarn encore dev
Start the built-in web server
You can use Nginx or Apache, but Symfony's local web server works even better.
To install the Symfony local web server, follow "Downloading the Symfony client" instructions found here: https://symfony.com/download - you only need to do this once on your system.
Then, to start the web server, open a terminal, move into the project, and run:
symfony serve
(If this is your first time using this command, you may see an
error that you need to run symfony server:ca:install first).
Now check out the site at https://localhost:8000
Have fun!
My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird - equal seekers of sweetness. Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work, which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished. The phoebe, the delphinium. The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture. Which is mostly rejoicing, since all ingredients are here, Which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart and these body-clothes, a mouth with which to give shouts of joy to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam, telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever.
If you have suggestions or questions, please feel free to open an issue on this repository or comment on the course itself. We're watching both :).
And as always, thanks so much for your support and letting us do what we love!
