PUGXAutoCompleter Sandbox

This is a demo project for PUGXAutoCompleterBundle.

It's basically a tipical Symfony project with some small additions.

It's using Select2 3.5.3 for JavaScript part. Not working with Select2 4.

Setup

• clone this repository
• run export HOST_UID=$UID
• run docker-compose build
• run docker-compose up -d
• run docker exec -ti autocompletersandbox_php_1 bin/console faker:populate
• you can login the container using docker exec -ti autocompletersandbox_php_1 bash
• map in your hosts file autocompletersandbox.local on 127.0.0.1
• you'll then be able to browser http://autocompletersandbox.local:8080

Testing

Run docker exec -ti autocompletersandbox_phpunit_1 bin/console faker:populate. Then you can test the application running docker exec -ti autocompletersandbox_phpunit_1 phpunit.

Be aware, since testing are really basic and based on some hard-coded values in database. If tests fail, try to drop database, re-create it and re-populate.

The Demo

This demo shows a list of books, and let you add a new book. When inserting a new book, you can autocomplete the author by name.

All the code should be self-explainatory, and it's kept to bare minimum for the purposes of this demo. The only exception is the "add new" feature (see next point).

Add new

Beside the main feature (that is, of course, autocomplete), this demo also shows how to implement an "add new" feature. With such feature, you can let users add new elements to the existing ones. If you don't need such feature, you can remove the relevant parts of JavaScript (see comments inside the code).
