Routes and Controllers

Add your route definitions to app/app.php. There is a home route there for your reference:

$app->get('/', 'SilexStarter\Controller\HomeController::index')
    ->bind('home');

This route will direct the uri / to the index method of the 'SilexStarter\Controller\HomeController' class. The bind command will allow you to reference this route in your templates like this: {{ path('home') }}.

Check out the official docs for more info.

Caching

If you want to cache a response, simply add the Cache-Control header to something like s-maxage=3600, public. The standard setup will use the cache folder to store response and serve responses from there without having to bootstrap the app.

Unit Tests

Put your phpunit tests in the tests/ folder. Extend the \SilexStarter\Test\AbstractTestCase class in order to have access to things like the web crawler. Here's an example:

use \SilexStarter\Test\AbstractTestCase;

class SomeTest extends AbstractTestCase
{
    public function testSomething()
    {
        $client = $this->createClient();
        $crawler = $client->request('GET', '/');
    
        $this->assertTrue($client->getResponse()->isOk());
        $this->assertCount(1, $crawler->filter('h1:contains("Hello World")'));
    }
}

Check out the official documentation for more info.

Logging

The logging service is available by using $app['monolog']. The log files reside in app/logs/. Here are some examples:

$app['monolog']->info('script started');
$app['monolog']->error('Failed to call function', ['key', $value]);
