Symfony-Trip-e-commerce - Amazing trip booking service

This project was created as part of computer science studies curriculum. The project goal was to create a trip booking application similar to other booking applications that you can find on the Internet (e.g. booking.com).

This was also my first ever big project written in Symfony which helped me get invaluable experience with the framework.

Running the project locally

There are two main options available to you if you want to run the project locally:

Running with Docker

This is the recommended option. To run the project using docker simply execute the following command in the terminal while in the project root directory

docker compose up

This will start all services required to run the application locally and will also import example data into the database.

Running using Symfony binary

If you want to run the project using symfony binary instead of docker you will need to execute a couple of commands:

First install the composer dependencies:

composer install

Second run your database locally and change this line in .env file so that it has the right credentials (username, password), host, port and database name:

DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:password@localhost:5432/dreamholiday

If you don't have a database yet and you want to create one use this command when your database server is running:

php bin/console doctrine:database:create

Then you can run doctrine migrations:

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

And load example data into the database if you want:

php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

After that you can finally run the application using the symfony binary (you must have it installed on your system):

symfony serve
