Using Symfony to start the database automatically when deploying the project

Question

Is there any place in Symfony reserved for me to provide scripts or run a class that populates the database with the initial information I need?

The ideal would be during the first run and each update. If it exists as I use?

Answer 1

There is a feature in Doctrine called Doctrine Migrations. You can select your database and even add an initial load when executing the "migrate" command. There is a Symfony2 Bundle for this: http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/DoctrineMigrationsBundle/index.html

I hope I’ve helped.
