Framework Example Bundle Laravel Package

Getting Started

Treat sumocoders/framework-example-bundle as a reference scaffold, not a dependency to install into a live application. With zero stars, zero dependents, no releases since 2017, and an archived repository, its day-to-day value is limited to showing how a Sumocoders-era Symfony bundle was structured.

Look first at:

• README.md and composer.json for intended Symfony/PHP versions and package name
• The bundle class in src/ and its DependencyInjection/ extension
• Resources/config/services.yml and Resources/config/routing.yml
• Controller/, Entity/, Resources/views/, and Tests/

Minimal first use case: clone or fork the repository and use it as a checklist when creating an internal Symfony bundle. If you must run it, do so in a throwaway Symfony 3.x-era application: register the bundle in AppKernel, import its routing file, install assets, then clear the cache. For a modern Symfony project, copy the patterns rather than the code: convert YAML service definitions to PHP attributes or explicit service config, replace AppKernel registration with Flex/bundles.php, and use modern bundle structure.

Implementation Patterns

Common ways a developer would actually use this package:

• Scaffold a new bundle: copy the directory, rename the namespace, bundle class, DI alias, route prefix, template paths, and Composer autoload entry. Search for the original namespace and bundle alias everywhere.
• Reference a bundle skeleton: compare your DependencyInjection/Extension.php, Configuration.php, service YAML, routing import, controller, entity, and test layout against the example.
• Register and wire it in an old Symfony app: add the bundle to AppKernel::registerBundles(), import routing with the bundle prefix, load services through the extension, and install public assets.
• Use controllers as services: if the example defines controllers in services.yml, follow that pattern in your own bundle, but account for Symfony 4+ private-service defaults.
• Reuse the testing setup: copy the Tests/ structure for KernelTestCase or WebTestCase examples when bootstrapping bundle tests.
• Extract patterns, not package code: take the DI extension shape, routing import convention, template override layout, and entity/repository wiring, then rewrite them for your target Symfony version.

For day-to-day work, keep it as a local reference repository or submodule in a sandbox. Do not make it a transitive dependency of an application bundle.

Gotchas and Tips

• Archived and stale: no security fixes, no compatibility updates, and no maintainers. Avoid production use.
• Symfony version drift: the bundle likely targets Symfony 2/3 conventions such as AppKernel, Resources/config/services.yml, and web/ assets. These do not map cleanly to Symfony 6/7, Flex, PHP attributes, or AssetMapper/Encore.
• Composer constraints may block installation: inspect composer.json first. Do not use --ignore-platform-reqs outside a throwaway environment.
• Renaming is not trivial: namespaces, bundle names, DI aliases, route names, service IDs, template paths, and config roots are often hardcoded. Use a global search before assuming a rename is complete.
• Config quirks: the DI extension alias must match the Configuration root and the bundle alias used in YAML. Old bundles often assume non-autowired services.
• Debugging checks: use bin/console debug:container, debug:router, lint:yaml, lint:twig, and cache:clear. Check the Symfony log directory when services or routes fail to load.
• Assets and templates: old Resources/public and Resources/views conventions may need explicit registration in modern Symfony. Template overrides depend on the bundle name and path.
• Extension points: fork and modernize. The useful parts are the structural patterns—DI extension, configuration tree, routing import, controller/service wiring, and tests—not the package itself.
