Other Frameworks

Gacela is very extensible. This means, you can use it within another framework like Laravel or Symfony, for example. You need to bootstrap Gacela at the same time you are initializing the framework, usually, in the entry point of your application.

TIP

For example in Symfony public/index.php and bin/console.

Or, in the case of Laravel, /bootstrap/app.php.

Example projects

• Symfony: https://github.com/gacela-project/symfony-gacela-example
• Laravel: https://github.com/gacela-project/laravel-gacela-example

Tricks

Use Symfony Doctrine Entity Manager

Create a binding between the EntityManagerInterface::class and the 'doctrine.orm.entity_manager' from the Symfony Kernel. This way

<?php # public/index.php

// ...
$kernel = new \App\Kernel($_SERVER['APP_ENV']);

Gacela::bootstrap($appRootDir, function(GacelaConfig $config) use ($kernel) {
    
    $config->addBinding(ProductRepositoryInterface::class, ProductRepository::class);

    $config->addBinding(
        EntityManagerInterface::class,
        static fn() => $kernel->getContainer()->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager')
    );
});
// ...
