Are you looking for a way to create a customised, high-performance e-commerce site? Sylius is the solution. It is an open source PHP framework linked to Symfony.
Un Framework, qui se traduit par « cadre de travail », est une base de développement qui intègre un certain nombre de fonctions permettant de simplifier le travail du développeur.
A Framework from Symfony
Symfony est un Framework qui utilise le langage PHP. Il permet de créer des sites web ou applications complexes. Symfony est caractérisé par ce qu’on appelle les « bundles ». Il s’agit en fait de petits ensembles de fonctionnalités supplémentaires qu’on peut ajouter ou retirer et qui permettent de faire gagner du temps lors du développement. En effet, cela évite de devoir développer ces fonctions à partir de rien.
Sylius: a flexible and customisable solution
Sylius embarque nativement les bundles e-commerce de Symfony afin de créer une « base e-commerce » qui répond aux besoins fonctionnels de nombreux sites marchands.
It comes in the form of a simple and functional administration, with a back-office that can be customised according to your needs. The customisation of the interface is almost total, allowing for unique and tailor-made projects.
Being linked to Symfony, the interface inherits all available bundles of the Framework. It is possible to install additional bundles to develop a project. This allows to add specific functions without having to develop them. Moreover, it is possible to select only the functions needed for the project: this makes the workspace lighter and faster.
There are official bundles that can be consulted on the Symfony website, but also other bundles from the community. Indeed, and this is one of the other advantages of this framework, Sylius also has a fairly reactive community of developers.
Thanks to a Rest API, Sylius allows the integration of the frontend regardless of the technology used (Angular, React, etc.). The interface is also compatible with external information systems such as CRM, ERP, emailing solution or many payment modules.
For the more specific needs of creating an e-commerce site, there are a number of additional Sylius plugins to add depending on the project.
In short, Sylius is the ideal solution for complex or customised projects. Indeed, the modularity of the interface allows great freedom in the management and development of the project. Sylius therefore appears to be an effective solution for quickly and simply carrying out specific or complex e-commerce projects.
