Symfony2 without Doctrine

Question

How can I install symfony2 without Doctrine?

I have tried removing the package using composer and uninstalling the bundle manually but I get errors always.

My application is going to get the data from a Restful WS, so I don't need Doctrine at all.

Answer 1

1. Create a Symfony Standard Edition project with the Symfony installer:

   symfony new symfony-se

2. Remove the doctrine/doctrine-bundle and doctrine/orm from your composer.json.

3. Remove the DoctrineBundle from a list of registered bundles in AppKernel.

4. Remove the doctrine configuration from the app/config/config.yml. You can also remove database related entries from the app/config/parameters.yml.dist.

5. Run composer update.

Note that you'll still find some of the doctrine packages installed. For example the doctrine/annotations library is used by Symfony to parse annotations. Doctrine is not only an ORM.
