Since Symfony 2, this has been taken out from the core and the developers either have to rely on their own to start from scratch or rely on some other third party Symfony 2 bundle when such a feature is needed – and in many circumstances, it is.
In this article, we will take a look at Phreeze, a simple and easy to use PHP framework that can help us generate a MySQL CRUD backend app. I will use my book collection test site as the underlying database. Please refer to my Data Fixtures in Symfony2 article for more details on the database structure.
Installation and bootstrapping
Phreeze is distributed as standalone. You can clone a copy of its latest version from Github.
In my environment, I have created a new virtual host test and cloned the repository to its phreeze folder so that I can start the backend generation with Phreeze using: http://test/phreeze/builder.
To facilitate the generation of a backend, Phreeze introduces two step wizard-like screens to guide us.
In the first screen, we will provide the necessary database connection information (server, database/schema, user, password):
