• Easily parse and write YAML files

• Implements most of the YAML 1.2 specuse Symfony\Component\Yaml\Parser;

$yaml = new Parser();

$string = file_get_contents('foo.yml')$data = $yaml->parse($string);

# data, inlining, indenting, invalid types, objects$string = $yaml->dump($data, 2, 4, false, true);file_put_contents('bar.yml', $string);

Yaml


• OO API for HTTP Request + Response

• OO API for Session incl. “flash messages”

• Supports response

$request = Request::create('/?foo=bar', 'GET');echo $request->getPathInfo();

$resp = JsonResponse::create($data, 200);

$hdrs = array('Content-Type' => 'text/plain');$resp = new StreamingResponse($callback, 404, $hdrs);$resp->send();

• PHP level CGI interface

• Eases integration between Symfony2, Silex, Drupal8, ezPublish5, Laravel4 .. applications

HTTP Kernel

interface HttpKernelInterface{ const MASTER_REQUEST = 1; const SUB_REQUEST = 2;

public function handle( Request $request, $type = self::MASTER_REQUEST, $catch = true );}


use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

// env: prod, debug: false$kernel = new AppKernel('prod', false);

// wrap the kernel for ESI enabled HTTP caching$kernel = new AppCache($kernel);

// create the request from the super globals$request = Request::createFromGlobals();

// convert request into a response$response = $kernel->handle($request);

// send response content to the client$response->send();

// event fired after browser has received response $kernel->terminate($request, $response);

Exclusion strategies

CMS functionality

sets of bundles scalability usability

documentation testing


• Follows vision of the on top of Symfony2, PHPCR, Create.js

• CMF as target audience are CMS builders: Drupal 8, ezPublish 5, Symfony2 devs, ..

• Stable release planned for May 2013

• http://cmf.symfony.com

• Demo at http://cmf.liip.ch

decoupled CMS

http://cmf.liip.ch

• Decoupled storage, business logic, UI layers

• PHPCR is a storage API for CMS, essentially a tree + versioning enabled document DB

• Symfony2 handles the business logic

• create.js is a glue layer that ties together RDFa, backbone.js, inline edit + JSON-LD

A decoupled CMS


• Ecommerce application

• from a single person store

• to a multi national store.

• Decoupled components which can be used independently of Symfony2

• Several components will go stable in Q2
