A *Resource* is any business object you want to expose — for example, a `Product`, `Order`, or `UserProfile`. Each resource can define a set of **operations** — actions that can be performed on it.\ Typical operations include `index`, `show`, `create`, `update`, and `delete`, but you can also define custom, domain-specific operations too.\ The bundle orchestrates each operation through a well-defined lifecycle involving **providers**, **processors**, and **responders**: * **Providers** are responsible for loading or creating the resource object and **validating it** (ensuring the object is consistent before any business logic is applied). * Example: load from Doctrine, create a new instance, hydrate from request data, validate the object, or fetch from an external API. * **Processors** handle the business logic or persistence layer (e.g. saving, executing domain services, dispatching events). * **Responders** produce the final response (e.g. rendering a template). This architecture allows you to use the bundle in two main ways: * **Rapid Application Mode (RAD)** – perfect for quick CRUD setup with Doctrine ORM. You define your entity, mark it as a resource, and everything just works. * **Domain-Driven Design / Advanced Mode** – where you control how data is provided and processed by writing your own providers and processors. In short, the Sylius Resource Bundle is both **declarative** and **extensible** — define your resources and their operations, and let the framework handle the rest, while still giving you full control over the domain logic when you need it. ### Resource system for Symfony applications. * [Installation](/resource/index/installation.md) ## New documentation * [Resource lifecycle](/resource/index/lifecycle.md) * [Create a new resource](/resource/index/create_new_resource.md) * [Configure your resource](/resource/index/configure_your_resource.md) * [Configure your operations](/resource/index/configure_your_operations.md) * [Validation](/resource/index/validation.md) * [Redirect](/resource/index/redirect.md) * [Resource Factories](/resource/index/resource_factories.md) * [Providers](/resource/index/providers.md) * [Processors](/resource/index/processors.md) * [Responders](/resource/index/responders.md) ## Deprecated documentation * [Legacy Resource Documentation](/resource/index/index.md) ### Learn more * [Resource Layer in the Sylius platform](https://docs.sylius.com/the-book/architecture/resource-layer) - concept documentation --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
