Repository presents Symfony project with multiple kernel approach.

Symfony Multiple Kernels allows you create many independent Kernels. Thanks to that you can: manage the bundles you use and separate configuration for every kernel.

Let's assume your project has two parts:

• api
• admin

And just only for admin version you need to use Twig which is useless for api part. To achieve this you have to create two instances of AppKernel:

• ApiKernel
• AdminKernel

Those two classes extend from AppKernel. This way you can get separate bundle list for each kernel.

To separate configuration, sessions, caches and logs you need overwrite AppKernel.php methods;

• getCacheDir
• getLogDir
• getKernelParameters
• registerContainerConfiguration

Separate parameters require custom parameters builder, and replacement in composer.json.

This action can be handle by exporting APP_NAME env like SYMFONY_ENV or by adding -a admin or --app-name=admin command's options. e.g. bin/console --app-name=admin
