Installing

Back-end

1. Make sure your system meets the application requirements
2. Install dependencies via Composer, $ composer install

Front-end

1. Install dependencies via npm, $ npm install
2. Install bower dependencies via bower, $ bower install
3. Compile assets by running Gulp, $ gulp default [--env production]

Initialization

Setup database

1. Set application parameters in app/config/parameters.yml
2. Generate an empty database by running command (if it does not yet exist) $ bin/console doctrine:database:create
3. Create database tables/schema by running command$ bin/console doctrine:schema:create
4. Load database fixtures $ bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

Load data

You can load initial application data by running command $ bin/console app:init

This command consists of multiple subcommands that can be called separately:

1. Load LDraw models into database by running commad $ bin/console app:load:ldraw [--ldraw=PATH] [--all] [--file=FILE] [--update]
2. Load Rebrickable data into database by running command $ bin/console app:load:rebrickable
3. Load relations between LDraw models and Rebrickable parts by running command $ bin/console app:load:relations
4. Download images of models from rebrickable.com $ bin/console app:load:images [--color=INT] [--rebrickable] [--missing]
5. Populate Elastisearch index $ bin/console fos:elastica:populate

Adding part relation

Relations between LDraw models and Rebrickable parts are matched automatically by identical (or similar) id/name when executing command $ bin/console app:load:relation.

Unmatched relations can be specified by adding relation of IDs to app/Resources/relations/part_model.yml

Testing

The test database must be created before the first test runs. You can create new one by running:

1. Generate an empty database by running command (if it does not yet exist) $ bin/console doctrine:database:create --env=test
2. Create database tables/schema by running command$ bin/console doctrine:schema:create --env=test

You can run complete system tests by $ phpunit. These should cover the main system functions and the functionality of calling the third-party programs that are required are needed to seamlessly retrieve the necessary application data.
