A "clone" of Quora website.

This project is for training purpose only. Don't use real infos here !

• Symfony > 5.0.0
• PHP > 7.2
• Apache server
• MySQL or PostGRESQL

1. Clone the project on your local repository

git clone [email protected]:AlexandreRavichandran/Quiver.git`

2. go to .env file, remove the # and change the DATABASE_URL depending on your database software

3. Create the database with either Symfony CLI (if you have it installed ) or basic php console commands.

symfony console doctrine:database:create

or

php bin/console doctrine:database:create

4. Make all migrations to the database to create and update all fields on the database

symfony console doctrine:migrations:migrate

or

php bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate

5. (OPTIONNAL) Create fixtures to add some fake data so that you can explore all features of the website

symfony console doctrine:fixtures:load

or

php bin/console doctrine:fixtures:load

6. open the php server

symfony serve -d

or

php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -tpublic

You can see here all features that Quiver provides :

• Ask a question and answer to a question
• Add comment and sub-comment
• Creating space and relate question to spaces
• Subscription system between users and between user and spaces
• Editing profile ('profile picture and profile informations')

This project is the second project that I made with Symfony

I decided to make a website to work my skill about database relations, and API requests. I decided to do a "clone" of the Quora website. Quora is a forum website where users can ask a question about a subject, and answer to another user's question. There is also a comment section feature, subscription system, and spaces section. I have implemented all theses features on my project.

In this project, I paid attention to respect Symfony coding standard and symfony syntax, and also documentations on my controllers methods. I tried to respect KISS too.
