MVC via Symfony - symfony

There is a project in Symfony, who want to remake using MVC. The project has controllers and twig patterns , it is only necessary to fasten model.In which Symfony project directory to properly create model files ? Is there anything in Symfony tool allows to do it , rather than just to create these files and to connect them to the controller ?

Use Symfony standard edition as your starting point. If you try to make something own without prior experience with code organization in Symfony you will make it only worse.
https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard
Standard edition above 2.8 version is pretty slim and doesn't force you to use everything if you don't need to.
If you need only "Model" classes then create them in src/AppBundle/Model and if you need Entities that will be persisted in database put them in src/AppBundle/Entity. Read about generation here http://symfony.com/doc/current/doctrine.html I will help you started

Map an entity in symfony 4

How about, I have a problem and it is before in symfony3 was run in the console:
php bin/console doctrine:mapping:import MiBundle yml
and generated and map an entity of the database but in Symfony 4 the command in the console is always the same, but the bundles are no longer occupied in the latest version so the previous command as it is does not work anymore, Someone could help me...
likewise generate the get and set
When using the new Symfony 4 directory structure without bundles the commands for importing the mapping and creating entities from an existing schema in the DoctrineBundle will no longer work properly. There is currently an ongoing discussion whether to update them, but the Doctrine team considers those tools counterproductive. You are not meant to blindly map the schema 1:1 to your domain model.
The best advice I can give for now is to temporarily create a bundle and then move the resulting files. This is also the workaround suggested in the github-issue regarding this: https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineBundle/issues/729
The Symfony team is moving some of those commands into their own MakeBundle, but I don't think this command is already in there. Maybe you want to follow their progress.

Symfony 3.3 custom config file

I've very new to Symfony. Before I've used mostly Laravel.
Lets assume I have an API Key which I want to use here and there thru the project.
It doesn't feel right to store it as a class constant because I can't find any class to keep it in. And it seems pretty dumb to have it in various places thru the app as a string.
Normally using Laravel I would have used a config file specifically for this task.
However in symfony I can't seem to do the same(either that or my google-fu skills are pretty bad). If they are, a simple link to some documentation will do just fine.
So my question is: Where can I store various constants used thru the app?
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid your Google-fu skills let you down this time.
Symfony.com has an excellent article about Configuration: Configuration -
Symfony Best Practices
The common way to save configuration parameters is by using parameters.yml. It supports environment variables as of Symfony 3.2.
The best practice for Symfony 2.x and 3.x:
Define the infrastructure-related configuration options in the
app/config/parameters.yml file.
The best practice for Symfony 4:
Define the infrastructure-related configuration options as environment
variables. During development, use the .env file at the root of your
project to set these.

partial use of doctrine on an existing php project

I am a new developer on an existing php project that respect its proper mvc.
I have successfully "plug" a Symfony installation on it, in order to replace some of the already existing Symfony components such as Router, Request etc...
I have some functionalities to develop and I am isolating them under one bundle.
My question is : can I use Doctrine for this one in order to start a sanitize work on the existing database ? If I want to use foreign keys with the existing others tables I need to configure the mapping on them...It's a problem because I cannot start a refactoring for the objects of this project that are not entities-like. Is there a solution to use doctrine only for my bundle and keeping the use of foreign-keys, cascading etc... ?
Thank you for all
If you wish to only generate the entities for your isolated bundle, you can do it.
Check documentation: http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/SensioGeneratorBundle/commands/generate_doctrine_entity.html
Are you planning to create your tables in the same database or in a differente database?

About the default AppBundle in Symfony2

When creating a new SF2 project, the project contains an AppBundle by default. Should this be removed like the AcmeDemoBundle?
Symfony best practice
For most projects, you should store everything inside the AppBundle.
http://symfony.com/doc/current/best_practices/business-logic.html
Multiple bundles
I tend to create multiple bundles, e.g. I have these bundles in src/:
MyProjectEntityBundle
MyProjectBackendBundle
MyProjectHomePageBundle
And for reusable components I create a symfony bundle that I put into a git repository and load it via composer using satis. So for example I have some bundles in vendor/:
VendorCmsUtilBundle
VendorImageThumbnailBundle
"Domain Driven Design (DDD)"
I have yet to try this approach (I will soon):
http://williamdurand.fr/2013/08/07/ddd-with-symfony2-folder-structure-and-code-first/
As #Marcel Burkhard pointed out, the AppBundle is where you should put all your application logic according to Symfony best practices. Of course you can throw it away and build your own, but it's definitely not like the Acme Demo bundle.
I disagree with the strategy of splitting Entities and Frontend / Backend in different bundles.
I agree with the strategy of creating your own "utility" bundle(s) so that you can reuse your code in different projects via composer.

Installing sfGuard without changing db

I am to integrate sfGuard plugin with existing application. What I want to do is to keep as much code as possible untouched. Any guides? It'd be perfect if I can use actual database schema, or bind it somehow to be used by sfGuard. I know about setting userProfile class but I'm not sure how should I get to it, not to destroy my app.
Greetings
Just install plugin. And try make migrations. doctrine::generate-migrations-diff
php symfony doctrine:generate-migrations-diff
And migrate php symfony doctrine:migrate :
php symfony doctrine:migrate
