WORKSHOP AGENDA 📝
Hands-On with Sylius: Learn how to build advanced eCommerce within 2 hours 🦢⏳
This hands-on workshop walks you through real-world examples to demonstrate how powerful, customizable, and developer-friendly Sylius is. You'll build features across the Admin, Shop, and API layers, using Sylius’s modern tech stack and clean architecture.
1. Sylius Installation with Docker
Kick things off with a smooth setup using Docker, allowing for an isolated, reproducible environment. Learn how Sylius integrates with Symfony and modern tooling to get you started quickly.
2. Customize an Existing Model with a Custom Property
Modify existing Sylius models (like Product, Order, etc.) by adding new properties, showing how easily Sylius can be tailored to meet project-specific requirements.
3. Manage the New Property in the Back Office (Form + Grid)
Expose the custom property in the admin forms and grids, illustrating how Sylius's back-office is built to be extended without friction.
4. Display the New Property in the Shop Frontend
Update the customer-facing shop to display your new property, showcasing the flexibility of Sylius's Twig-based templates and templating system.
5. Expose the New Property in the API
Expose your new property via Sylius’s headless API powered by API Platform, enabling seamless integration with frontends, mobile apps, and third-party services.
6. Add a New Custom Model
Introduce a completely new model (like Brand, Author, Tag, etc.) to the system, highlighting how Sylius supports adding custom business logic without hacking the core.
7. Implement CRUD for the Custom Model in the Admin
Build full CRUD functionality for your custom model directly into the admin panel, leveraging Sylius’s grid and form systems.
8. Expose the New Model via the API
Expose your new model in the API to support headless use cases and third-party integrations, showing how extensible and API-ready Sylius is by default.
9. Add Logs on State Machine Transitions
Use Sylius’s built-in state machine component to trigger logs when specific state transitions occur, allowing you to track key changes in entity states.
10. Dispatch Async Messages from State Machine Events
Go further by integrating Symfony Messenger to dispatch asynchronous messages during transitions—great for tasks like sending emails and notifications or triggering external services without blocking the main flow.
By the End of the Workshop, You Will:
- Run a Sylius shop locally using Docker
- Customize and extend models across all layers (Admin, Shop, API)
- Implement new features cleanly and modularly
- Use the state machine for automation and async workflows
- Gain confidence in building production-ready Sylius projects
