Draggy is a code development tool and template engine that enables the user to create and maintain a functional Skeleton of an application.

The installation instructions here are for installing Draggy as a vendor on an existing Symfony2 installation. If you are starting a new project, there is an easier way to get started by downloading a Symfony2 installation that already has Draggy bundled. For details please go to https://github.com/j-d/symfony-standard-draggy

Downloading that bundle package is the same as creating a new Symfony2 project and following the steps below.

If you want to see a demo, you can download one from here: https://github.com/j-d/draggy-demo

Installation (as a vendor on an existing Symfony2 installation)

Edit your composer.json file and add draggy as a dependency

sudo nano composer.json

    "require-dev": {
        ...
        "jd/draggy": "dev-master"
        ...

Change the version of the Incenteev dependency as it doesn't currently (2.3) support additional parameters on the parameters.yml file:

    "require": {
        ...
        "incenteev/composer-parameter-handler": "2.1.*@dev"
        ...

Run composer update to download the recently added dependency

sudo composer update

Copy the parameters_draggy.yml.dist file from vendor/jd/draggy/app/config/ to app/config/ as parameters_draggy.yml

sudo cp vendor/jd/draggy/app/config/parameters_draggy.yml.dist app/config/parameters_draggy.yml

Edit your parameters.yml file to add an import of the parameters_draggy.yml file

sudo nano app/config/parameters.yml

    imports:
        - { resource: parameters_draggy.yml }
        ...
    
    parameters:
    ...

Edit the parameters_draggy.yml and configure the model file name and other parameters

sudo nano app/config/parameters_draggy.yml

parameters:
    draggy.model_filename:      <your_model_name>.xml
    draggy.model_path:          %kernel.root_dir%/../doc/
    draggy.model_history_path:  %kernel.root_dir%/../doc/history/
    draggy.model_xml_extension: .xml
    draggy.autocode.src_path:   %kernel.root_dir%/../src/

Create the folder where you are going to save the model, if it doesn't exist

mkdir doc

Crate the path where you are going to save the model history, if it doesn't exist

mkdir doc/history

Give write access to www-data to those folder

sudo apt-get install acl

sudo setfacl -R  -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx doc doc/history
sudo setfacl -dR -m u:www-data:rwx -m u:`whoami`:rwx doc doc/history

Add doc/history to the .gitignore

sudo nano .gitignore

...
/doc/history/*
!.gitkeep

sudo nano app/AppKernel.php

if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
    ...
    $bundles[] = new Draggy\Bundle\DraggyBundle\DraggyBundle();
    $bundles[] = new Draggy\Bundle\MockBundle\MockBundle();
    ...

Modify the routing_dev.yml file to add Draggy routes

sudo nano app/config/routing_dev.yml

... 
_draggy:
    resource: "@DraggyBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix:   /_draggy/

If you are going to use the default Draggy mock templates, copy the custom form_div_layout.html.twig into the resources folder:

mkdir app/Resources/views/Form
cp vendor/jd/draggy/src/Draggy/Bundle/MockBundle/Resources/views/Form/form_div_layout.html.twig app/Resources/views/Form/form_div_layout.html.twig

and amend your config.yml file to use this twig template and add the MockBundle to assetic:

sudo nano app/config/config.yml

... 
twig:
    ...
    form:
        resources:
            - ':Form:form_div_layout.html.twig'
...
assetic:
    ...
    bundles:        [MockBundle]
    ...

Install the Draggy assets

sudo php app/console assets:install --symlink

That's it! To use it just browse to the path you created, e.g. http://myproject.local/app_dev.php/_draggy

Happy Draggy-ing!
