Symfony-Symfony 6 development toolkit

Example

Public product pages, account dashboards, and admin panels. Attribute-based routes map clean URLs to controller actions. Security handles authentication (form login, OAuth, JWT) and authorization (roles, voters). Twig renders fast, cacheable HTML with CSRF protection in forms.

Scenario

An e-commerce team builds a product catalog and checkout. Routes like /products/{slug} hit controllers that fetch data and return responses. The login flow uses the Security component with a custom user provider. Admin routes are protected with access control and voters (e.g., only product managers can publish). Forms validate input server-side using constraints, preventing invalid data from reaching the database.

Example

A unified domain model validated with constraints (e.g., Email, Uuid, UniqueEntity). The Serializer turns entities/DTOs into compact JSON for REST; normalizers handle edge cases. Doctrine ORM (or ODM/DBAL) provides robust persistence patterns; API Platform (built on Symfony) adds schema generation, pagination, filtering, and OpenAPI docs with minimal boilerplate.

Scenario

A fintech backend exposes a versioned REST API for mobile apps. Incoming payloads are validated; invalid requests return machine-friendly error payloads. Entities persist through Doctrine with explicit transactions for money movements. The Serializer outputs JSON shaped by groups for least-privilege data exposure. API Platform auto-generates routes and documentation; QA and partner teams integrate quickly using the OpenAPI spec.

Example

Background jobs (email sending, invoice generation, webhooks) are dispatched via Messenger to Redis/RabbitMQ/SQS transports with retry strategies and failure queues. HttpClient integrates with third-party APIs efficiently. Mailer and Notifier handle transactional emails/SMS. Cache accelerates expensive computations and API responses. Workflow models business processes with guards and transitions. Console commands power cron/ops tasks.

Scenario

A logistics platform receives delivery updates from external carriers. Webhooks are acknowledged immediately but queued to Messenger for enrichment and persistence. HttpClient calls carrier APIs with circuit breakers and timeouts. Workflow drives parcel state changes (created → in_transit → delivered/exception). Cache stores carrier metadata to reduce latency. Failed messages land in a failure transport for inspection and replay.
