README

This is a sample Symfony2 bundle that contains a simple service to store and retrieve "tweets". The bundle consists of a service implementation, including a repository based on doctrine. It has no forms or controllers.

Installing

Add the following line to the require section in your composer.json file:

"llvdl/example-tweeter-core-bundle": "dev-master"

and run composer update.

Add the following item to the $bundles array in registerBundles in AppKernel.php:

new Llvdl\TweeterCoreBundle\TweeterCoreBundle()

Initiating the database

You should have the doctrine/orm package installed. Also a database and user must be created. The configuration of the database properties is probably at app/config/parameters.yml.

To create the database tables, run:

php app/console doctrine:schema:create

To see the SQL queries to create the tables, but not execute them, add the --dump-sql flag:

php app/console doctrine:schema:create --dump-sql

Using the service

The bundle gives access to the tweet_service service, which has the following methods (see TweetService.php for details):

Tweets are short messages created by a tweeter. When creating a tweet, the tweeter entity is created automatically if it does not already exist.

• getRecentTweets
• getRecentTweetsForTweeter
• createTweet

To get a list of recent tweets in a controller:

$service = $this->get('llvdl_tweeter_core.tweet_service');
$tweets = $service->getRecentTweets();
// do something with $tweets
