Symfony Mailer: Love Sending Emails Again

Well hi there! This repository holds the code and script for the Symfony Mailer: Love Sending Emails Again course on SymfonyCasts.

Setup

If you've just downloaded the code, congratulations!!

To get it working, follow these steps:

Download Composer dependencies

Make sure you have Composer installed and then run:

composer install

You may alternatively need to run php composer.phar install, depending on how you installed Composer.

Configure the .env (or .env.local) File

Open the .env file and make any adjustments you need - specifically DATABASE_URL. Or, if you want, you can create a .env.local file and override any configuration you need there (instead of changing .env directly).

Setup the Database

Again, make sure .env is setup for your computer. Then, create the database & tables!

php bin/console doctrine:database:create
php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

If you get an error that the database exists, that should be ok. But if you have problems, completely drop the database (doctrine:database:drop --force) and try again.

Start the built-in web server

You can use Nginx or Apache, but Symfony's local web server works even better.

To install the Symfony local web server, follow "Downloading the Symfony client" instructions found here: https://symfony.com/download - you only need to do this once on your system.

Then, to start the web server, open a terminal, move into the project, and run:

symfony serve

(If this is your first time using this command, you may see an error that you need to run symfony server:ca:install first).

Now check out the site at https://localhost:8000

Have fun!

Optional: Webpack Encore Assets

This app uses Webpack Encore for the CSS, JS and image files. But to keep life simple, the final, built assets are already inside the project. So... you don't need to do anything to get thing set up!

If you do want to build the Webpack Encore assets manually, you totally can! Make sure you have yarn installed and then run:

yarn install
yarn encore dev --watch

Somebody Has To

Somebody has to go polish the stars, They're looking a little bit dull. Somebody has to go polish the stars, For the eagles and starlings and gulls Have all been complaining they're tarnished and worn, They say they want new ones we cannot afford. So please get your rags And your polishing jars, Somebody has to go polish the stars.

A Space Riddle!

I'm not white and fluffy, but pieces of me do orbit the sun. What am I?

Answer: The Oort Cloud!

Have Ideas, Feedback or an Issue?

If you have suggestions or questions, please feel free to open an issue on this repository or comment on the course itself. We're watching both :).

Thanks!

And as always, thanks so much for your support and letting us do what we love!
