What kind of example should this be? The full Symfony demo or some more simple (custom) website using Symfony?

For the full demo website see: https://github.com/ties-v/symfony-demo-on-now and https://symfony-demo.ties.now.sh/

For a little less advanced example I would be able to put something together.

I think we should have 2 examples

• tiny minimal example ✅ (thanks @DominikVisek)
• full standard example

You can start with the minimal. What do you think?

Having issues to build a symfony app. I don't know what to do with cache on a read only file system. And after that i just get weird errors. So i am tagging along on this thread!

Hey @disjfa.

Do you have problem with this?

I used the now files from there yes. But i started with a base symfony 5.0 checkout. So i will update when i have tested this one. If i found what and where we can update and upgrade.

Cool, the trick is to fix the cache folder in your local kernel. For reference for people who read this:

public function getCacheDir()
{
    if(isset($_ENV['NOW_REGION'])){
        return '/tmp/symfony/cache/'.$this->environment;
    }

    return parent::getCacheDir();
}

public function getLogDir()
{
    if(isset($_ENV['NOW_REGION'])){
        return '/tmp/symfony/log';
    }

    return parent::getLogDir(); // TODO: Change the autogenerated stub
}

Now the next step is to get the static css/js data from the public/build/ folder on the screen. Can't seem to get that working. Also checked a version 2 of the symfony demo on zeit but still no luck. Tried to fix the routes in the now.json to add something like this.

{
    "src": "/build/app.css",
    "dest": "/public/build/app.css"
},

But no luck, if you have more tips, please. Also when i have something practical i surely will share and blg about it.

@disjfa An example for symfony 4.* is available at ties-v/symfony-demo-on-now.

The now.json file might be interesting to you.

One thing to notice is that is not using the new keys like functions and rewrites etc. Maybe I'll update it some time.

Hope it helps!

Yes, thats the v2 version i was talking about. I want to add some npm stuff (encore) also so that breaks there for now.

[ties-v]

Do you have an example repo somwhere? And what is exactly failing: loading of encore assets?

[disjfa]

Pushed my repo, just working on an example to use to prototype. https://github.com/disjfa/symfony-prototype

For now i disabled the encore files and encore build step.

There are 2 examples of symfony on vercel, take a look https://github.com/juicyfx/vercel-examples.
