Hi all,
As of now, the default directory structure of a typical Symfony2
application reads as follows:
app/
src/
Application/
Bundle/
vendor/
web/
src/ contains all the PHP code: the code you write for your application
and the code you need from external sources (under the vendor/
sub-directory but also under Bundle/).
The first question is: What about moving ALL code that does not belong
to the application to the vendor/ directory, outside the src/ one:
app/
src/
vendor/
web/
That way, src/ only contains the code for your specific application:
src/
Application/
...
And vendor/ contains all your dependencies:
vendor/
Bundle/
Sensio/
CasBundle/
...
doctrine/
symfony/
...
I think this structure makes more sense than the current one. It also
eases the separation between your app code and everything else, which I
think is a good thing.
Not really related to that, but nonetheless interesting, I have another
question. The bundles are stored by default under two main namespaces:
Application/ and Bundle/. This has been decided a long time ago, but it
breaks the interoperability standard, as the first part of a namespace
should be the vendor name.
So, instead of:
Bundle\Sensio\CasBundle
We should probably have:
Sensio\Symfony\Bundle\CasBundle
This has many advantages like:
* It follows the interoperability standard;
* If allows to easily package your "plain PHP" code (think Model here)
and your Symfony bundles under the same namespace:
Sensio\Symfony\Bundle\...
Sensio\Doctrine\Extension\...
Sensio\Design\...
The only drawback I can see is the fact that the namespace is much
longer than before.
I know that it virtually breaks everything out there, but this is our
last chance to get it right.
Any thoughts?
