Description

This is a Symfony bundle, that extends the symfony user, without adding too many unnecessary features.

Installation

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require plumtreesystems/user-bundle

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the /configu/bundles.php file of your project:

<?php
// bundles.php

// ...
return [
    //...
    Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\FrameworkBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    //...
    PlumTreeSystems\UserBundle\PlumTreeSystemsUserBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    //...
];

Step 3: Create and import configurations

Create a configuration for the bundle

#config/packages/pts_user_bundle.yaml

plum_tree_systems_user:
    user_class: <classname of the class that extends one of the abstract classes>

Import the routes

#config/routes.yaml
plum_tree_systems_user:
    resource: "@PlumTreeSystemsUserBundle/Resources/config/routes/securityRoutes.yml"
    prefix:   /

Basic Usage

Step 1: Create a User Entity

Create a user entity, that extends one of the existing abstract (TokenUser|User...) entities.

// App/Entity/User.php
namespace App\Entity;

use PlumTreeSystems\UserBundle\Entity\User as PTSUser;

class User extends PTSUser {
    /...
}

Step 2: Reference the class name in the configuration

Add this user class to the config/packages/pts_user_bundle.yaml configuration file.

#config/packages/pts_user_bundle.yaml

plum_tree_systems_user:
    user_class: 'App\Entity\User'

Step 3: Edit the security configuration

Add the security provider and encoder

#config/packages/security.yaml

security:
    #...
    providers:
        ptsuser:
            id: pts_user.provider
    #...
    encoders:
        App\Entity\User: bcrypt
    # optionally add the user checker to the firewalls where you will be using the authentication to handle disabled users
    firewalls:
    #...
        main:
    #...
            user_checker: pts_user.security.checker
    #...

Step 4: Create a user instance

If the extended user does not bring any additional fields, the create user command can be used php bin/console pts:user:create

note: when implementing own user, and not overriding password creation flow, use the $user->setPlainPassword('1234') method to automatically encode it prior to persisting it to the database

Step 4: You can now login

Access the imported login route ex: mywebsite.com/[prefix]login

Customization

To customize the login form add a template file /templates/bundles/PlumTreeSystemsUserBundle/security/login.html.twig Preferably copying and modifying the original
