Unleash your Symfony projects with eZ Platform
2 likes2,063 views
This document discusses using the eZ Platform content management system (CMS) with Symfony projects. eZ Platform is a "full-stack CMS" that is built entirely on Symfony components. It provides features like content authoring, versioning, multilingual support, and a REST API out of the box. The document demonstrates how to install eZ Platform, build a basic controller that retrieves content via the PHP API, and use Twig templates to display content. It positions eZ Platform as a way to add robust CMS functionality to Symfony projects while leveraging the Symfony ecosystem.
