Sylius Legacy Shop Bridge Plugin

A plugin for bridging legacy Sylius functionality with modern Sylius applications.

About

This plugin enables Sylius 2.0 applications to use the legacy shop frontend from Sylius 1.x. It provides:

• Legacy Template Events - Restores the sylius_template_event Twig function and template block system from SyliusUiBundle 1.x
• Shop Controllers - Controllers for cart, orders, currency/locale switching, and other shop functionality removed in Sylius 2.0
• Sonata Block Integration - Support for Sonata blocks in templates
• Twig Extensions - Legacy Twig filters like sort_by

Installation

1. Install the plugin via Composer:

composer require sylius/legacy-shop-bridge-plugin --no-scripts

2. Enable the plugin and required bundles in config/bundles.php:

return [
    // ...
    Sonata\BlockBundle\SonataBlockBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    FOS\RestBundle\FOSRestBundle::class => ['all' => true],
    Sylius\LegacyShopBridgePlugin\SyliusLegacyShopBridgePlugin::class => ['all' => true],
];

Configuration

1. Import Plugin Configuration

Add the plugin configuration import to your config/packages/_sylius.yaml (or main configuration file):

imports:
    # ...
    - { resource: "@SyliusLegacyShopBridgePlugin/config/config.yaml" }

2. Configure FOSRestBundle

If you don't have FOSRestBundle configured yet, add the following to config/packages/fos_rest.yaml:

fos_rest:
    exception: true
    view:
        formats:
            json: true
            xml:  true
        empty_content: 204
    format_listener:
        rules:
            - { path: '^/api/.*', priorities: ['json', 'xml'], fallback_format: json, prefer_extension: true }
            - { path: '^/', stop: true }

3. Configure Controllers

Configure the Sylius controllers to use the legacy bridge functionality:

Option A: If you have NOT overridden the following controllers in your project

Add the following to your config/packages/_sylius.yaml:

sylius_order:
    resources:
        order:
            classes:
                controller: Sylius\LegacyShopBridgePlugin\Controller\OrderController
        order_item:
            classes:
                controller: Sylius\LegacyShopBridgePlugin\Controller\OrderItemController

sylius_addressing:
    resources:
        province:
            classes:
                controller: Sylius\LegacyShopBridgePlugin\Controller\ProvinceController

Option B: If you HAVE already any of these controllers in your project

Add the appropriate traits to your existing controllers:

// src/Controller/OrderController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Sylius\LegacyShopBridgePlugin\Controller\Trait\OrderTrait;

class OrderController extends \Sylius\Bundle\CoreBundle\Controller\OrderController
{
    use OrderTrait; // Adds: widgetAction(), clearAction()

    // ... your existing custom methods
}

// src/Controller/OrderItemController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Sylius\Bundle\ResourceBundle\Controller\ResourceController;
use Sylius\LegacyShopBridgePlugin\Controller\Trait\OrderItemTrait;

class OrderItemController extends ResourceController
{
    use OrderItemTrait; // Adds: addAction(), removeAction() and helper methods

    // ... your existing custom methods
}

// src/Controller/ProvinceController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Sylius\Bundle\ResourceBundle\Controller\ResourceController;
use Sylius\LegacyShopBridgePlugin\Controller\Trait\ProvinceTrait;

class ProvinceController extends ResourceController
{
    use ProvinceTrait; // Adds: choiceOrTextFieldFormAction() and helper methods

    // ... your existing custom methods
}

4. Update UI Configuration

Replace sylius_ui configuration with sylius_legacy_shop_bridge in your config/packages/sylius_ui.yaml (or wherever your UI events are configured):

# Before
sylius_ui:
    events:
        # ...

# After
sylius_legacy_shop_bridge:
    events:
        # ...

5. Configure Twig Paths

Add the following Twig paths configuration to your config/packages/twig.yaml:

twig:
    paths:
        # Add the lines ONLY for overridden bundles' templates in your project
        '%kernel.project_dir%/templates/bundles/SyliusShopBundle': 'SyliusShop'
        '%kernel.project_dir%/templates/bundles/SyliusUiBundle': 'SyliusUi'

        # These two lines are REQUIRED
        '%kernel.project_dir%/vendor/sylius/legacy-shop-bridge-plugin/templates/bundles/SyliusShopBundle': 'SyliusShop'
        '%kernel.project_dir%/vendor/sylius/legacy-shop-bridge-plugin/templates/bundles/SyliusUiBundle': 'SyliusUi'

Note: The first lines are only needed if you have customized SyliusShopBundle or SyliusUiBundle templates in your templates/bundles/ directory. The last two lines pointing to the plugin's templates are always required and have to be placed at the end.

6. Add Routes

Add the plugin routes to your config/routes.yaml file. Important: These routes must be loaded after the shop routes:

# Your shop routes
sylius_shop:
    resource: "@SyliusShopBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
    prefix: /{_locale}
    requirements:
        _locale: ^[a-z]{2}(?:_[A-Z]{2})?$

# Legacy bridge routes - must be loaded AFTER shop routes
sylius_legacy_shop_bridge:
    resource: "@SyliusLegacyShopBridgePlugin/config/routes.yaml"

7. Update Encore Entry Points (Shop)

Update your shop template base file to use legacy Encore entries:

{# Before #}
{{ encore_entry_link_tags('shop-entry', null, 'shop') }}
{{ encore_entry_script_tags('shop-entry', null, 'shop') }}

{# After #}
{{ encore_entry_link_tags('legacy-shop-entry', null, 'legacy.shop') }}
{{ encore_entry_script_tags('legacy-shop-entry', null, 'legacy.shop') }}

8. Update Asset Paths

Replace asset references to use the legacy paths:

{# Example 1 #}
{# Before: #}
{{ asset('build/shop/images/logo.png', 'shop') }}
{# After: #}
{{ asset('build/legacy/shop/images/logo.png', 'legacy.shop') }}

{# Example 2 #}
{# Before: #}
{{ asset('build/shop/images/sylius-plus-banner.png', 'shop') }}
{# After: #}
{{ asset('build/legacy/shop/images/sylius-plus-banner.png', 'legacy.shop') }}

Regex for bulk replacement:

Find:

(\{\{\s*asset\(\s*['"])build/shop/([^'"]+)(['"]\s*,\s*['"])shop(['"]\s*\)\s*\}\})

Replace:

$1build/legacy/shop/$2$3legacy.shop$4

Note: These regexes work within PHPStorm: Cmd+Shift+R (Find and Replace in Files), enable Regex, paste both patterns.

9. Configure Webpack

Add the legacy bridge configuration to your webpack.config.js:

const path = require('path');

// ... your existing Encore configurations ...

// Legacy Shop Configuration
Encore.reset();

Encore
    .setOutputPath('public/build/legacy/shop')
    .setPublicPath('/build/legacy/shop')
    .addEntry('legacy-shop-entry', path.resolve(__dirname, './vendor/sylius/legacy-shop-bridge-plugin/assets/shop/entrypoint.js'))
    .addAliases({
        'semantic-ui-css': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/semantic-ui-css'),
        'jquery': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/jquery'),
        'lightbox2': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/lightbox2'),
        'slick-carousel': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/slick-carousel'),
    })
    .disableSingleRuntimeChunk()
    .cleanupOutputBeforeBuild()
    .enableSourceMaps(!Encore.isProduction())
    .enableVersioning(Encore.isProduction())
    .enableSassLoader()
;

const legacyShopConfig = Encore.getWebpackConfig();

legacyShopConfig.externals = Object.assign({}, legacyShopConfig.externals, { window: 'window', document: 'document' });
legacyShopConfig.name = 'legacy.shop';

// Export all configs
module.exports = [
    // ... your existing configs ...
    legacyShopConfig,
];

10. Install Frontend Dependencies

Add the following legacy dependencies to your package.json:

{
    "dependencies": {
        "jquery": "^3.5.0",
        "lightbox2": "^2.9.0",
        "semantic-ui-css": "^2.2.0",
        "slick-carousel": "^1.8.1"
    }
}

Then install the dependencies:

npm install
# or
yarn install

11. Build Assets

Build your frontend assets:

npm run build
# or
yarn build

12. Update Twig Templates

When migrating legacy templates, you need to update certain Twig function calls and menu names:

Menu name changes:

{# Before #}
{{ knp_menu_render('sylius.shop.account', ...) }}

{# After #}
{{ knp_menu_render('sylius_shop.account', ...) }}

Twig function replacements:

Before	After
sylius_order_items_subtotal(order)	order.getItemsSubtotal()
sylius_order_tax_included(order)	order.getTaxIncludedTotal()
sylius_order_tax_excluded(order)	order.getTaxExcludedTotal()
sylius_product_variant_prices(product, sylius.channel)	sylius_product_variants_map(product, {'channel': sylius.channel})

Usage

Once installed and configured, the plugin will provide legacy compatibility for older Sylius templates and functionality, allowing you to gradually migrate to modern Sylius features.
