A story about John THE PHP developer

JOHN’s applications on the outside

JOHN IS DEALING WITH that EVERY DAY

Have you heard about this new tool/methodology called

Yeah, I wish I could use it in my XYZ

project, but it is not compatible or used.

?What is the answer?

SyliusModern e-commerce for Symfony2

What is sylius

• E-Commerce framework for PHP

• Set of bundles for Symfony2

• Platform based on Symfony2

e-commerce framework for php

• Collection of decoupled components

• Usable with any PHP project

• Common E-Commerce patterns and domain models implemented in „raw” PHP code

• Loosely integrated with other libraries

Set of bundles for symfony2

• Standalone Symfony2 bundles

• Every E-Commerce feature lives in a separate package available through Composer

• Can be integrated into existing application

• Bundles as integration layers for Symfony

e-commerce symfony2 app

• Online-selling platform

• Can be used as a base for project or „as is”

?What makes Sylius different?

PROPER OBJECT ORIENTED PHP

• No singletons and static access all over the place

• Testable code

• Lack of magic

• DependencyInjection and many other design patterns

vendors managed using composer

• All Sylius components, bundles and distributions are available through Composer

• Sylius uses Composer to manage its dependencies

• No NIH allowed

• A lot of community libraries

Symfony as framework

• Sylius, just like eZ Publish, is built on top of full-stack Symfony2

• Based on Standard Edition, should be familiar for any Symfony developer

• Does not reinvent the wheel and shares part of community

Doctrine as orm

• No ActiveRecord

• Fully featured ORM as the foundation for data storage

• Whole data persistence hidden behind elegant interfaces

• Potentially supports MongoDB and other platforms

Behavior DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT• StoryBDD with Behat maintains high level of

communication quality among the community

• We communicate using examples

• Behat scenarios are executed as acceptance tests automatically on every change

• SpecBDD using phpspec punishes us for any bad design decision

• CodeQuality

Feature descriptions

Executed on travis-ci.org

Code quality

Compared to „old” solutions

?How to get started?

Require a single component

$ composer require sylius/product:v0.10.0

<?php

!$product = new Product();

!$product

->setName(’T-Shirt’)

->setDescription(’Really cool t-shirt’)

;

Install symfony2 bundle$ composer require sylius/cart-bundle:v0.10.0

<?php

!class FooController extends Controller

{

public function barAction()

{

$cart = $this->get(’sylius.cart_provider’)->getCart();

}

}

And follow the installation instructions from the documentation

DOCS.sylius.org

Install Sylius app

$ composer create-project sylius/sylius -s dev

$ cd sylius

$ app/console sylius:install

components and bundles

Resource Layer

• Lives on top of Doctrine

• Extends and uses Doctrine Common Persistence interfaces

• Contains basic interfaces, like TimestampableInterface, SoftDeleteableInterface etc.

• Integrated through SyliusResourceBundle

Products Attributes and variations Options and Variants

• Component and bundle for common entity Attributes handling

• Processing of object variations using options

• Product integrates both Attributes and Variants

Orders and Carts Sales and Shopping Cart

• Cart is an Order with appropriate state „checkout”

• Support of Adjustments for discounts and fees

• Order items can contain any type of object or plain text, quantity and price

Other components and bundles We have few of them

• Taxation with categorization and different calculators support

• Complex shipping management with different shipping methods and cost calculators

• Inventory tracking with backorders support

• Promotions system with coupons, actions and custom rules support

• Addresses management with geographical zones for precise shipping and taxation rates

• Payum integration for payments

Okay, a bit more than „few” More fun

• Workflows, checkouts, installation wizards and multistep actions

• Pricing component with customizable price calculators (volume, regional, per custom group etc.)

• Settings system for easy configuration via GUI

• Taxonomies for categorization of products

• Theming, Plugins, Reviews, Subscriptions, Multi-Channel (coming soon)

What about content management? Symfony CMF Integration

• Very basic integration with the CMF

• Simple content types and blocks

• Big plans to take this integration even further

ez Publish + Sylius Can we work together?
