Full-Featured E-Commerce Bundle for Symfony 2&3
The Aimeos community released version 2016.01 of their Open Source e-commerce components for the Symfony PHP framework.
Nürnberg, Germany, January 28, 2016 (Newswire.com) - This major release 2016.01 complies to the major PHP standards, namely PSR-1, PSR-4 and PSR-7. It supports Symfony 2.4+ and 3.0+, MySQL 5.7 as well as the astonishing fast PHP 7 out of the box.
To simplify Aimeos for occasional editors, a more intuitive administration interface has been created based on the upcoming Bootstrap 4 and JQuery. It's also much easier to extend and adapt to project specific needs than the ExtJS based interface which is still there for advanced editors. A demo of both interfaces (simple and expert mode) is available at https://admin.demo.aimeos.org.
Powerful APIs available over HTTP are a prerequisite for Javascript based libraries such as AngularJS. Aimeos offers such an API in the new version modeled after the principles of the JSON API standard (http://jsonapi.org/). It enables external applications to manage content in Aimeos instances or to use the API to offer frontend editing.
Scaling Aimeos online shops without limits was always one of the major goals of the project. Content like product images can be stored transparently in the cloud now thanks to Flysystem. Aimeos supports all available Flysystem adapters and can even replicate files between several clouds or between local and remote file systems.
