Basic User CRUD with Symfony

This pet project is just for demonstration.

Installation

composer install

Setup your database configuration (refer to Symfony config)

 php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

Notes

• I didn’t user Symfony’s built in authentication mechanism since purpose of the project is showing usage of CRUD actions. Instead, I just used UserPasswordEncoderInterface to hash plain passwords to secure them safely in DB.
• Annotations are used for Doctrine, Routes, Forms and Validations.
• Login mechanism is based on Symfony sessions. It may not be enough for a real authentication system.
• Bootstrap 4 is used in general layout
• No unit tests yet
• Navigation menu items could be shown/hidden by user status. I didn’t spend time on that.
• Flash sessions are used for most error/success messages
• UserRepository has 2 custom methods to make Doctrine actions are more developer friendly
• User login and registration forms are bind to the User entity while user edit is a custom form since it has new password fields
