Single-Page demo application written with Symfony and chaplin.js

Symfony/chaplin.js single page app

This is a demo for a single page application implemented with Symfony as the REST backend and chaplin.js as the frontend.

This setup adds the following bundles to the standard-edition of Symfony:

• FOSUserBundle
• FOSRestBundle
• FOSOAuthServerBundle
• FOSJSRoutingBundle
• JMSSerializerBundle
• SonataSEOBundle

The purpose of this app is to demonstrate the following concepts:

• Providing a REST backend for a backbone.js / chaplin frontend
• Securing the REST backend using oauth2 2-legged authentication
• Reusing Symfony routes for the chaplin router to make full use of Symfonys environment concepts [prod/dev/etc]
• Reusing serverside rendered markup from 3rd party bundles (e.g. FOSUserBundle login-form)
• Provide SEO metadata for the initial page markup for public facing websites
