README

A PHP abstraction library for JavaScript charting built as a Symfony 2 service bundle.

The following libraries are linked to this bundle via git submodules:

• Jquery
• Flot
• jqPlot

You can jump to any version by checking out the version you want to use via the git submodule.

Getting Started

• Prerequisites: You need a working Symfony2 framework installed and setup.

IMPORTANT - Please follow the directions in order or the JS library dependencies will not be properly built

1. Add the AltamiraBundle ScriptHandler to the post-install-cmd and post-update-cmd section in scripts in your composer.json file.

       "scripts": {
           "post-install-cmd": [
               "Malwarebytes\\AltamiraBundle\\ScriptHandler::installJSDependencies",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::clearCache",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installAssets",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile"
   
           ],
           "post-update-cmd": [
               "Malwarebytes\\AltamiraBundle\\ScriptHandler::installJSDependencies",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::buildBootstrap",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::clearCache",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installAssets",
               "Sensio\\Bundle\\DistributionBundle\\Composer\\ScriptHandler::installRequirementsFile"
           ]
       }

   NOTE You must add our bundle first before installAssets or you will have to re-run install assets manually.

2. Now install the altamira-bundle via composer.

   From your main symfony2 directory, run:

   $ composer require malwarebytes/altamirabundle:dev-master

3. Enable the bundle within symfony:

   <?php
   // app/AppKernel.php
   
   public function registerBundles()
   {
        $bundlles = array (
            // ...
            new Malwarebytes\AltamiraBundle\MalwarebytesAltamiraBundle(),
        );
   }

4. If you would like to see example code, enable the example controller:

   # app/config/routing.yml
   
   altamira_example:
       resource: "@MalwarebytesAltamiraBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
       prefix:   /chart_demo

Troubleshooting

If there are javascript files missing when you view the example, the JS dependencies may not have been fetched properly. Check that the folders in Resources/public/js/ are not empty.

If code exists in the libs folder, the assets may have failed to be installed into the web folder. Run the following to regenerate the assets:

$ app/console assets:install

Developing

Refer to the sample controller on examples on how to use the code.
