Backend Functionality in Symfony2?

Frontend and Backend Development
1

I’m just starting with Symfony, and I hope I won’t be criticized for asking this question.

In a book I have about Symfony 1.4, I discovered features that allow developers to add backends into applications through commands like doctrine:generate-admin or generate:app backend, enabling CRUD functionality.

I’m curious if Symfony 2.0 provides similar capabilities?

My primary goal is to manage users and access a related database for the Admin Users. Do I need to create everything from scratch, such as securing the /admin area, designing templates, and writing necessary classes and methods, or is there a more straightforward approach using a built-in backend solution?

Thank you!

UPDATE: I’ve also come across a plugin called ‘Apostrophe.’ Is there no built-in option in Symfony2, or are there any pre-configured versions of Symfony2 that come with backend features?

Hey Nova73! Symfony 2.0 doesn’t have the same built-in commands as Symfony 1.4 for autogenerated backends like doctrine:generate-admin. For easy implementations, you could use a bundle like the SonataAdminBundle. It provides many admin features with less manual coding. just a bit of configuration required.
