ext-direct-bundle

A Symfony bundle to integrate Sencha Ext JS Ext.direct into a Symfony application

Installation

You can install this bundle using composer

composer require teqneers/ext-direct-bundle

or add the package to your composer.json file directly.

After you have installed the package, you just need to add the bundle to your AppKernel.php file:

// in AppKernel::registerBundles()
$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new TQ\Bundle\ExtDirectBundle\TQExtDirectBundle(),
    // ...
);

Configuration

The ext-direct-bundle requires at least one endpoint to be configured.

# Default configuration for "TQExtDirectBundle"
tq_ext_direct:
    debug:                true
    cache:                file
    file_cache_dir:       '%kernel.cache_dir%/tq_ext_direct'
    validate_arguments:   true
    strict_validation:    true
    convert_arguments:    true
    convert_result:       true
    endpoints:            # Required

        # Prototype
        id:
            descriptor:           Ext.app.REMOTING_API
            namespace:            Ext.global
            auto_discover:        true
            all_bundles:          true
            bundles:              []
            directories:          []

auto_discover enables auto-discovering service classes in bundles available to the application. If paired with all_bundles all available bundles are checked, otherwise only bundles mentioned in the bundles array are checked. For bundles it is required to place service classes into an ExtDirect directory inside the bundle root directory. Additionally (or only - if auto_discover is disabled) individual directories can be set to be included in the service discovery process. Services are discovered recursively starting with each configured directory.

Because the bundle provides its own controller to serve the API description and handle Ext.direct reqeusts, you also need to configure your routing to include the bundle routes at a given prefix. Edit your app/config/routing.yml:

# ...
ext_app:
    resource: "@TQExtDirectBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix: /
# ...

The most minimalistic configuration looks like:

tq_ext_direct:
    endpoints:
        api: ~

This enables Ext direct services in all available bundles via the api endpoint.

Usage

Using the Twig extension provided by the bundle you can easily integrate the Ext.direct API definition into your application templates.
