php-symfonyHow to integrate React with Symfony using PHP?

Integrating React with Symfony using PHP is a straightforward process. First, install the Symfony Encore Bundle, which provides a bridge between Symfony and React. Then, create a React component and render it in a Symfony template.

// src/Controller/MyController.php

public function index()
{
    return $this->render('my_template.html.twig', [
        'react_component' => React::renderComponent('MyComponent', [
            'name' => 'John Doe',
        ]),
    ]);
}

<!-- templates/my_template.html.twig -->

<div id="react-component">
    {{ react_component|raw }}
</div>

The code above will render the React component MyComponent with the prop name set to John Doe in the div with the id of react-component.

Parts of the code:

• React::renderComponent(): This is a helper method provided by the Symfony Encore Bundle that renders a React component.
• MyComponent: This is the name of the React component that will be rendered.
• name: This is the prop that will be passed to the React component.
