Symfony Best Practices: Follow Symfony conventions for controllers, services, events, and configuration
E-Commerce Integration: Leverage Pimcore's E-Commerce Framework rather than building custom solutions
Performance Optimization: Use lazy loading, optimize queries, implement caching strategies, and leverage Pimcore's indexing
Content Reusability: Design areabricks and snippets for maximum reusability across documents
Type Safety: Use strict typing in PHP for all DataObject properties, service methods, and API responses
Workflow-Driven: Implement workflows for content approval, product lifecycle, and asset management processes
Multi-language Support: Design for internationalization from the start with proper locale handling
Guidelines
Project Structure
Follow Pimcore's directory structure with
src/for custom codeOrganize controllers in
src/Controller/extending Pimcore's base controllersPlace custom models in
src/Model/extending Pimcore DataObjectsStore custom services in
src/Services/with proper dependency injectionCreate areabricks in
src/Document/Areabrick/implementingAbstractAreabrickPlace event listeners in
src/EventListener/orsrc/EventSubscriber/Store templates in
templates/following Twig naming conventionsKeep DataObject class definitions in
var/classes/DataObject/
DataObject Classes
Define DataObject classes through the admin interface at Settings → DataObjects → Classes
Use appropriate field types: input, textarea, numeric, select, multiselect, objects, objectbricks, fieldcollections
Configure proper data types: varchar, int, float, datetime, boolean, relation
Enable inheritance where parent-child relationships make sense
Use object bricks for optional grouped fields that apply to specific contexts
Apply field collections for repeatable grouped data structures
Implement calculated values for derived data that shouldn't be stored
Create variants for products with different attributes (color, size, etc.)
Always extend generated DataObject classes in
src/Model/for custom methods
E-Commerce Development
Extend
\Pimcore\Model\DataObject\AbstractProductor implement\Pimcore\Bundle\EcommerceFrameworkBundle\Model\ProductInterfaceConfigure product index service in
config/ecommerce/for search and filteringUse
FilterDefinitionobjects for configurable product filtersImplement
ICheckoutManagerfor custom checkout workflowsCreate custom pricing rules through admin or programmatically
Configure payment providers in
config/packages/following bundle conventionsUse Pimcore's cart system rather than building custom solutions
Implement order management through
OnlineShopOrderobjectsConfigure tracking manager for analytics integration (Google Analytics, Matomo)
Create vouchers and promotions through admin or API
Areabrick Development
Extend
AbstractAreabrickfor all custom content blocksImplement
getName(),getDescription(), andgetIcon()methodsUse
Pimcore\Model\Document\Editabletypes in templates: input, textarea, wysiwyg, image, video, select, link, snippetConfigure editables in templates:
{{ pimcore_input('headline') }},{{ pimcore_wysiwyg('content') }}Apply proper namespacing:
{{ pimcore_input('headline', {class: 'form-control'}) }}Implement
action()method for complex logic before renderingCreate configurable areabricks with dialog windows for settings
Use
hasTemplate()andgetTemplate()for custom template paths
Controller Development
Extend
Pimcore\Controller\FrontendControllerfor public-facing controllersUse Symfony routing annotations:
#[Route('/shop/products', name: 'shop_products')]Leverage route parameters and automatic DataObject injection:
#[Route('/product/{product}')]Apply proper HTTP methods: GET for reads, POST for creates, PUT/PATCH for updates, DELETE for deletions
Use
$this->renderTemplate()for rendering with document integrationAccess current document:
$this->documentin controller contextImplement proper error handling with appropriate HTTP status codes
Use dependency injection for services, repositories, and factories
Apply proper authorization checks before sensitive operations
Asset Management
Organize assets in folders with clear hierarchical structure
Use asset metadata for searchability and organization
Configure thumbnail configurations in Settings → Thumbnails
Generate thumbnails:
$asset->getThumbnail('my-thumbnail')Process videos with Pimcore's video processing pipeline
Implement custom asset types when needed
Use asset dependencies to track usage across the system
Apply proper permissions for asset access control
Implement DAM workflows for approval processes
Multi-Language & Localization
Configure locales in Settings → System Settings → Localization & Internationalization
Use language-aware field types: input, textarea, wysiwyg with localized option enabled
Access localized properties:
$object->getName('en'),$object->getName('de')Implement locale detection and switching in controllers
Create document trees per language or use same tree with translations
Use Symfony's translation component for static text:
{% trans %}Welcome{% endtrans %}Configure fallback languages for content inheritance
Implement proper URL structure for multi-language sites
REST API & Data Hub
Enable Data Hub bundle and configure endpoints through admin interface
Create GraphQL schemas for flexible data queries
Implement REST endpoints by extending API controllers
Use API keys for authentication and authorization
Configure CORS settings for cross-origin requests
Implement proper rate limiting for public APIs
Use Pimcore's built-in serialization or create custom serializers
Version APIs through URL prefixes:
/api/v1/products
Workflow Configuration
Define workflows in
config/workflows.yamlor through admin interfaceConfigure states, transitions, and permissions
Implement workflow subscribers for custom logic on transitions
Use workflow places for approval stages (draft, review, approved, published)
Apply guards for conditional transitions
Send notifications on workflow state changes
Display workflow status in admin interface and custom dashboards
Testing
Write functional tests in
tests/extending Pimcore test casesUse Codeception for acceptance and functional testing
Test DataObject creation, updates, and relationships
Mock external services and payment providers
Test e-commerce checkout flows end-to-end
Validate API endpoints with proper authentication
Test multi-language content and fallbacks
Use database fixtures for consistent test data
Performance Optimization
Enable full-page cache for cacheable pages
Configure cache tags for granular cache invalidation
Use lazy loading for DataObject relationships:
$product->getRelatedProducts(true)Optimize product listing queries with proper index configuration
Implement Redis or Varnish for improved caching
Use Pimcore's query optimization features
Apply database indexes on frequently queried fields
Monitor performance with Symfony Profiler and Blackfire
Implement CDN for static assets and media files
Security Best Practices
Use Pimcore's built-in user management and permissions
Apply Symfony Security component for custom authentication
Implement proper CSRF protection for forms
Validate all user input at controller and form level
Use parameterized queries (handled automatically by Doctrine)
Apply proper file upload validation for assets
Implement rate limiting on public endpoints
Use HTTPS in production environments
Configure proper CORS policies
