Getting Started With LegGoogleChartsBundle

Installation

Installation is a very quick 2 step process:

1. Download the Bundle
2. Enable the Bundle

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Ultimately, the LegGoogleChartsBundle files should be downloaded to the vendor/leg/googlecharts-bundle directory.

This can be done in several ways, depending on your preference. The first method is the standard Symfony2 method.

Using composer

For the moment, you will need to set your minimum-stability setting at alpha, as the bundle is not yet stable:

{
    "require": {
        "leg/googlecharts-bundle": "1.*"
    },
    "minimum-stability": "alpha"
}

Using submodules

If you prefer instead to use git submodules, the run the following:

$ git submodule add git://github.com/tgalopin/LegGoogleChartsBundle.git vendor/leg/googlecharts-bundle
$ git submodule update --init

Using Github

You can download the bundle with Github, directly or by cloning the repository :

git clone git://github.com/tgalopin/LegGoogleChartsBundle.git

wget https://github.com/tgalopin/LegGoogleChartsBundle/zipball/master

And put the directory content in vendor/leg/googlecharts-bundle.

Step 1.2: Configure the Autoloader

If you didn't use Composer, you need to update your autoloader. To do so, edit app/autoload.php :

<?php
// app/autoload.php

use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry;
use Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader;

/**
 * @var ClassLoader $loader
 */
$loader = require __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

$loader->add('Leg\\GCharts', __DIR__.'/../vendor/leg/googlecharts/src');
$loader->add('Leg\\GoogleChartsBundle', __DIR__.'/../vendor/leg/googlecharts-bundle/src');

AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader(array($loader, 'loadClass'));

return $loader;

Step 2: Enable the bundle

Finally, enable the bundle in the kernel:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        // ...
        new Leg\GoogleChartsBundle\LegGoogleChartsBundle(),
    );
}
