ThenLabsStratusBundle

Extends Symfony to the full stack development with integration of StratusPHP.

Notice: Like StratusPHP, this project is also in development and should not be used in a real project yet.

Installation.

Install StratusPHP specifying the development version.

$ composer require thenlabs/stratus-php 1.0.x-dev

Install the maker bundle in case it isn't.

$ composer require symfony/maker-bundle --dev

Install this bundle:

$ composer require thenlabs/stratus-bundle dev-master

Usage.

Creating reactive pages.

Once the installation has finished we can create the application pages that will bring the integration with StratusPHP.

In order to create a new page run the next command:

$ php bin/console make:stratus-page main

In this case, "main" refers to the page name.

As you can see, they was created three files, a template, a controller, and a class. You can review these files and edit it according to the project needs.

In the controller class you can fix the page route. By default will be like the page name, /main in this case.

The template file is empty by default but you should edit it with the page view.

In this example we will develop the Example 2 of the StratusPHP docs.

{# templates/main-stratus-page.html.twig #}

{% extends 'base.html.twig' %}

{% block body %}
    <input s-element="myInput" type="text">
    <label s-element="myLabel"></label>
    <button s-element="myButton" s-element-event-click="clickOnTheButton">Greet</button>
{% endblock %}

It’s very important highligh the s-element attribute and his value on key elements of the page view.

<?php
// src/StratusPage/MainStratusPage.php

namespace App\StratusPage;

use ThenLabs\Bundle\StratusBundle\Annotation\StratusPage;
use ThenLabs\Bundle\StratusBundle\AbstractPage;

/**
 * @StratusPage(template="main-stratus-page.html.twig")
 */
class MainStratusPage extends AbstractPage
{
    public function clickOnTheButton(): void
    {
        $this->myLabel->textContent = 'Hello ' . $this->myInput->value;
    }
}

We want to highligh that textContent and value they are properties managed in real time on the browser. Theorically, it's possible manage any property type and react to any event.

If you want to know all the StratusPHP posibilities, you can see the examples in his documentation.

Testing results.

$ symfony server:start

Now, if we access to the http://localhost:8000/main/ we will obtains the next results.

Getting services inside page classes.

<?php
// src/StratusPage/MainStratusPage.php

// ...

/**
 * @StratusPage(template="main-stratus-page.html.twig")
 */
class MainStratusPage extends AbstractPage
{
    public function clickOnTheButton(): void
    {
        // getting the doctrine service.
        $doctrine = $this->controller->get('doctrine');

        // ...
    }
}

Pending features.

1. Enable the support of autowiring services inside the page classes.

Known issues.

One of the most representative features of StratusPHP is its ability to send messages by streaming to the browser as can be seen in example 3. It is very important to keep in mind that this feature causes problems when it is being developed with the Symfony Local Web Server (symfony server: start). Instead, we recommend using PHP's internal server which you can run with the command php -S localhost: 8000 -t public /.
