Symfony Maker Bundle is the fastest way to generate the most common code you'll need in a Symfony app: commands, controllers, form classes, event subscribers, etc. This bundle was introduced in time for the Symfony 4 release and it's an alternative to SensioGeneratorBundle in modern Symfony apps.

During the past months we've been busy improving it and its latest 1.2.0 version includes two new interesting features.

Added a new make:crud generator

This new generator is similar to the well-known doctrine:generate:crud command from SensioGeneratorBundle and it generates a basic CRUD interface for the given Doctrine entity:

 4
 5

$ bin/console make:crud BlogPost  created: src/Controller/BlogPostController.php  created: src/Form/BlogPostType.php  created: templates/blog_post/_delete_form.html.twig  created: templates/blog_post/_form.html.twig  created: templates/blog_post/index.html.twig  created: templates/blog_post/show.html.twig  created: templates/blog_post/new.html.twig  created: templates/blog_post/edit.html.twig  Success!

Although this generator is not (and it will never be) a full-featured admin generator, it can be useful to quickly bootstrap some feature in your projects.

Improved the make:form generator

The existing make:form generator created the skeleton of aSymfony Form class so you could quickly add the needed form fields. In the new version, this generator is smarter and it can optionally generate a complete form class based on a Doctrine entity, adding a form field for every property of the entity:

 1

$ bin/console make:form  The name of the form class (e.g. GentleElephantType):> BlogPostType  Enter the class or entity name that the new form will be bound to (empty for none):> BlogPost  created: src/Form/BlogPostType.php  Success!
