We'll dive into creating custom repository methods in Symfony. This powerful feature lets you write efficient database queries to find exactly the products you need based on their prices.

Whether you're building a full-fledged online shop or just getting started with Symfony, this tutorial will give you the skills to master custom repository methods and price filtering.

Let's get started!

Step 1: Create a New Symfony Project

If you're starting fresh, you'll need a Symfony project. Don't worry, it's quick to set up!

• New to Symfony? For detailed instructions on setting up Symfony, take a look at the official Symfony documentation. It's the best place to learn the basics.

• Symfony CLI User? If you have the Symfony Command Line Interface (CLI) installed, open your terminal and run this command:

  Bash

  symfony new 17-custom-repository-methods
  

  This command will create a brand new, simple Symfony application in a folder named 17-custom-repository-methods.

• Check if it Works: To make sure your app is running correctly, navigate into the 17-custom-repository-methods folder in your terminal:

  Bash

  cd 17-custom-repository-methods
  

  Then, start the Symfony built-in web server:

  Bash

  symfony serve
  

  Open your web browser and go to the address shown in the terminal (usually http://127.0.0.1:8000). If you see the Symfony welcome page, you're good to go!
