Electron Symfony

================

This simple project allows to run a Symfony application inside Electron.

It's simply a default Electron build (see https://github.com/electron/electron-quick-start)

with gulp-connect-php, needed to run PHP.

Indeed, you can use this to run any PHP application, not just a Symfony one.

You need npm installed on your machine to get this working.

Installation

------------

* clone this repository

* run `npm install`

* put your Symfony project under `project` directory. If you prefer a different name, just edit `main.js` accordingly

* for portability, you should put a php static installation under `php` directory. If want to just give a try,

  you could use your already system-wide installed PHP. In this case, edit `main.js` and point the PHP path

  to your actual path (in the `bin` option of `php.server()`). E.g., for Ubuntu the path is `usr/bin/php`

* for portability, you should use a sqlite database. If you want to just give a try, you can use a "classic" database

  (like MySql)

* if your Symfony project is using assets from a CDN, you must copy such assets in your local folders, since

  CDN assets are not working inside electron.

  For example, if you're using something like `//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.2.3.js`, you need to

  downalod `jquery-2.2.3.js` file and put it under `web/js` directory, then adjust your templates accordingly.

* Also, if you use jquery, take a look to [this issue](http://stackoverflow.com/a/37480521/369194)

Execution

---------

Run `npm start`

The following screenshot shows an example of Symfony Standard Edition running with DevTools open:

If you want to use DevTools, uncomment the relevant line in `main.js`
