Get started with Fastfony

Fastfony is a Symfony boilerplate and starter kit that provides a solid foundation for building web applications. It includes a variety of features and tools to help you get started quickly and efficiently.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

Be careful to the minimum versions requirements:

PHP: 8.2
Symfony CLI: 5.11
Node: 22 with npm and npx

Create new project

We recommend creating a new development project on a local development machine and follow the “Go to production” (soon available…) instructions to deploy it on a production server.

You can create a new project using one of the following methods:

Solution 1 : From archive

Extract the download archive and in the root of the project, run the following command:


git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

If you want synchronize your new project with the template repository of Fastfony or Fastfony Pro, run the following command:

For Fastfony:


curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coopTilleuls/template-sync/main/template-sync.sh | sh -s -- https://github.com/fastfony/fastfony

For Fastfony Pro:


curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/coopTilleuls/template-sync/main/template-sync.sh | sh -s -- git@github.com:fastfony/fastfony-pro.git

And then resolve conflicts, if any, and run git cherry-pick --continue.

Then, run the following command:


task start

Solution 2 : From template repositories

Go on github in order to create your own repository from the template, with this link:

for Fastfony: https://github.com/new?template_name=fastfony&template_owner=fastfony
for Fastfony Pro: https://github.com/new?template_name=fastfony-pro&template_owner=fastfony

You can claim your access to the Fastfony Pro repository by sending e-mail to claim-repo-access@fastfony.com.

Then clone the repository and in the root of the project, run the following command:


task start
