README

This package contains a bundle to easily create basic services efficiently and without effort from command line.

The package add a new command line app/console generate:service that create all the config and code for a basic service:

• Modify the services.xml (only works for xml language only)
• Create a Lib Class
• Inject dependencies (Entity Manager)

Installation

Step 1: Install vendors

Installation depends on your version of Symfony:

Symfony 2.1.x: Composer

Composer is a project dependency manager for PHP. You have to list your dependencies in a composer.json file:

{
    "require-dev": {
        "jalis/service-generator": "dev-master"
    }
}

To actually install Service Generator in your project, download the composer binary and run it:

wget http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar
# or
curl -O http://getcomposer.org/composer.phar

php composer.phar install

Symfony 2.0.x: bin/vendors.php method

If you're using the bin/vendors.php method to manage your vendor libraries, add the following entries to the deps in the root of your project file:

[JalisServiceGeneratorBundle]
    git=https://github.com/javijalis/JalisServiceGeneratorBundle.git
    target=/bundles/Jalis/Bundle/ServiceGeneratorBundle

Next, update your vendors by running:

$ ./bin/vendors

Finally, add the following entries to your autoloader:

<?php
// app/autoload.php

$loader->registerNamespaces(array(
    // ...
  
    'Jalis'        => __DIR__.'/../vendor/bundles',
));

Step 2: Enable the bundle

Finally, enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Jalis\Bundle\ServiceGeneratorBundle\JalisServiceGeneratorBundle(), 
    );
}

How to use:

Execute the command:

$ app/console generate:service

Follow the instructions:

Your service code must be written in Manager directory. This command helps
you generate them easily.

Each service is hosted under a namespace (like Acme/Bundle/BlogBundle).
(which must have Bundle as a suffix).

Bundle namespace: myFolder/Bundle/myBundle

Your service must have a name for call it

Service Name: example

Your service need EntityManager?

Do you need entity Manager in your service [no]? yes

After that, you only have to use the service where ever you want:

$my_service = $this->get('exampleManager');

The class for your code used in the service is in the folder BundleGiven/Manager/exampleManager.php

<?php
namespace BundleGiven\Manager;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager;                                                 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
class exampleManager                                                               
{                                                                               
    protected $em;                                                              
                                                                                
    public function __construct(EntityManager $em){                             
                                                                                
        $this->em = $em;                                              
    }                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                            
    public function getInfo() {                                                 
                                                                      
        return "name: exampleManager";                                                                                                                          
    }                                                                           
    
    //... your code
                                                                                
}             

ToDo

• Option for create Twig extensions
• Add more options for inject more native services (monolog, mailer) and own services
• Refactor Command class code
• What about services in yml?
