🚨 New course alert: Reusable Bundles 📦! Bundle development received a facelift in Symfony 6. Let’s check this out by creating a real, usable bundle that we’ll eventually push to Packagist for all to enjoy. Step 1: Initialize our bundle!

We've successfully pushed our English translations up to @Crowdin.bsky.social . Merci beaucoup! now, let's automatically translate and pull them back down!

For a course about translations, we really haven’t done much "translating" yet. That’s kinda important! Symfony has integrations with a few different Translation Provider services. Let’s look at @Crowdin.bsky.social, and see how it works!

The translation:extract command automates pulling missing translation keys from your PHP and Twig files. But it also has a secret, secondary purpose... Let's check it out! 🕵️

I'll admit it, mistakes are going to happen, translations will be missed! Let's look at the tools Symfony provides to help find these and how you can prevent missing translations from making it to production.

The SymfonyCLI makes local development a breeze - but works best when PHP is installed directly on your machine. Let's walk through setting up PHP (plus database extensions) and the SymfonyCLI on macOS/Linux/Windows so you're ready to start building Symfony apps. symfonycasts.com/blog/install...

HTML in your translations, it's gonna happen. There isn't a perfect solution, so let's take a look at our options.

Let's look at a more complex translation, one with dynamic values and pluralization, because "1 dinosaurs" doesn't sound quite right 🦖

One last thing before we finally translate the site: translation "keys". Let's look at why we use these, how to use them, and how YAML helps!

Let's do the real work of translating! See where and how you translate text, the "anatomy" of a translation, creating, and loading them.

Let's create a nifty language switcher widget since having users manually manipulate the URL in their address bar is a huge bummer.

With the Translation component installed and configured, our next step is to figure out what language a user wants. There are a couple ways to do this, but let's look at the most robust one: Localized, or Translated routing.

🇬🇧 🔄 🇪🇸 🔄 🇫🇷 New course all about the Symfony Translation component! We'll take an English-only site, translate it into multiple languages, add a language switcher and let it loose on the world... First let's install the component.

If you already love Foundry (I do!), wait until you see how simple it is to create a *fleet* of ships and their parts

ManyToOne: the king of all relations. The way this looks in PHP & the database is nerd wonderful!

To track our starship parts let’s create a StarshipPart entity & load the database via Foundry. Don’t forget the “part” called toilet paper!

Our Javascript event listener to sync LemonSqueezy customers with our app users has a little security issue. We could disable the listener in production and just rely on webhooks but that's lame! Let's fix the problem!

New tutorial time! We’re catching up & finishing up (I know, way overdue 🧠 ) our Symfony 7 track with Symfony 7 Doctrine Relations! We’re kicking off with alien animations AND audio from me, @weaverryan! 🌟

Working with webhooks locally can be a bit of a pain, even with Ngrok. Let's look at an alternative way to sync our app users with LemonSqueezy customers: Javascript events!

Thanks for having me! Here are the slides: speakerdeck.com/kbond/rethin... We'll get back to you about the shirts! 😀

The LemonSqueezy checkout now happens in our app, booya! But, it's pretty subtle. Let's embed it in a modal and fine-tune the "open checkout" button 💅

Let’s not risk losing sales by redirecting users to Lemon Squeezy to complete their checkout. Instead, bring the checkout to our site!

Foundry now has it's own command to load dev fixtures! (previously, we recommended using doctrine/fixtures, which is a great package, but overkill for this purpose)

dd()'ing API errors is getting old fast... and it won't help us in production. Let's craft a custom exception that gives us a message that's simpler and to the point 🎯.

How can we display all the orders for a user? Fun fact: we don't need an orders table. Now that we’ve created a connection between our User entity and a Lemon Squeezy customer, let’s use the LS API to show previous orders on our site.

Foundry 2.6 is released 🎉 We've introduced a new command `bin/console foundry:load-stories` you can use to load fixtures in your database see docs for more info symfony.com/bundles/Zens... @zenstruck.com #php #symfony

Tests are always important, but even more so when dealing with e-commerce. Let’s write a full integration test for our LemonSqueezy webhook so we can sleep easy at night! 😴

We have Symfony successfully parsing our Lemon Squeezy webhook. Now, let’s create a RemoteEvent consumer to handle all that webhook biz logic!

Every time, without fail...

Our LemonSqueezy webhook is getting through to our dev server but... Symfony doesn't know what to do with it. Let's show it how with a custom webhook request parser! symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

Testing webhooks locally? Time for some tunneling magic with Ngrok & LemonSqueezy!

We need to connect LemonSqueezy customers to our app’s users. How can we do this? Webhooks! Let’s install and configure symfony/webhook to handle the heavy lifting!

Foundry 2.5 is released 🎉 This release comes with "in-memory" repositories support, and a nice performance improvement. github.com/zenstruck/fo... The "in-memory" behavior is still experimental, feedback is very welcome! #php #symfony @zenstruck.com

Our order logic is solid, but OrderController looks like it was written by someone after *way* too much coffee. Time to organize everything into a single, centralized LemonSqueezyApi service.

Bonus Chapter! Never heard of Messenger MonitorBundle? We gotta fix that: give yourself a UI for tracking messages, handling times, failures and retries. Heck if you’re using scheduler, check those details out too!

Our customer just purchased their E-lemonade, yum! Now we need to redirect back to our app instead of the LemonSqueezy order page. We’ll also find and smash a bug :bug: with our shopping cart. symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

Trying to sell multiple products using LemonSqueezy in one checkout? Turns out... you can’t. Let’s not let that be a blocker though - we can find a workaround! symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

We’re moving on from hard coding LemonSqueezy IDs — those will be a pain to manage long-term! Let’s replace them with dynamic values using environment variables for the store ID and a dedicated field in the Product entity for variant IDs. symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

🚀 New in Symfony 7.3: Configurable Compound Rate Limiter ➡️ https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-3-configurable-compound-rate-limiter

We’ve seen the checkout process using the LemonSqueezy storefront. Now, we’ll work to integrate it into our app’s checkout system with some fancy API calls. symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

Time to integrate LemonSqueezy into our app “Squeeze the Day”! Step 1, create a “scoped” HTTP client to make it easy to send API calls. Anyone up for a refreshing e-lemonade? 🥤 symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

🚀 New in Symfony 7.3: Invokable Commands and Input Attributes ➡️ https://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-7-3-invokable-commands-and-input-attributes

Before integrating LemonSqueezy into our app, we first need to understand how the checkout process works using the custom storefront they give us. Let’s spend some fake money on fake lemonade! symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

🚨 NEW COURSE ALERT 🚨 “Merchant of Record” (MoR) digital payment processing with Lemon Squeezy! Time to set up our checkout and leave the tax headache to someone else. symfonycasts.com/screencast/l...

Internal Symfonycasts hack day next Friday on MakerBundle: CI needs help, need to simplify to ease maintenance, property hook changes on make:entity & more. My cancer has not been kind to Maker, time to revitalize & make(r) it sustainable 🙃

There’s a new way to work with files in Symfony. 📦 Kevin Bond unveils a fresh approach at #SymfonyOnline June 2025. 🎤"Rethinking File Handling in Symfony " https://symfony.com/blog/symfonyonline-june-2025-rethinking-file-handling-in-symfony

I just released zenstruck/foundry 2.4 This release comes with some nice new features check the release note for more info! github.com/zenstruck/fo...

Bonus! Let’s talk Symfony Scheduler: a pretty incredible way to schedule tasks, ensure they run & even see a run down of what tasks are scheduled and when. An absolute hidden Symfony gem 💎

Let's fire up ngrok & the under-appreciated server:dump to watch webhooks hit our local server in real time. User opens the email... boom! MailerEngagementEvent baby!
