Symfony UX Turbo Demo Application

This barebones chat application serves to demonstrate how Symfony UX Turbo can be used to make server-rendered applications more dynamic without resorting to custom JavaScript code.

Developed for my talk at the Symfony User Group Aveiro.

Disclaimer: The code doesn't always adhere to best practices, in favor of keeping the code as simple as possible.

Requirements

• PHP 8.0 (with SQLite drivers)
• Node + Yarn
• Symfony CLI (with TLS support for the local web server)

Setup

1. Install dependencies: composer install & yarn
2. Create the database with the matching schema: bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force
3. Run make start to start the dev server and Webpack Encore.
4. Open up https://127.0.0.1:8000/rooms to get started!

NOTE: It has to be https://127.0.0.1:8000. Anything else (even localhost:8000) will result in CORS errors when attempting to connect to the Mercure Hub.

Notes

Turbo Frames are given red borders while Turbo Streams are given blue borders to better identify them.
