Fabien Potencier:
Symfony 4: Contributing Recipes
Apr 19, 2017 @ 15:23:34

Fabien Potencier has posted another in his series of tutorials looking at the next major release of the Symfony framework - Symfony v4. In this series he's covered some of the changes that will be coming in this release and what you can do to prepare. In this latest post he looks at the idea of "recipes" and how you can contribute them back to the project

Symfony Flex is not Open-Sourced yet, but I can already feel the excitement in the community. [...] You know, that "one more feature" that will make Symfony Flex the next killer application for the Symfony community.

People are worried about the opinionated recipe repository. Keep in mind that one of the main goals of Symfony Flex is to automate your day-to-day workflow for the happy path.

He reassures those reading the post that a package doesn't need a recipe to be installed and the "opinions" that the main repository uses around packages. He also talks about another recipe configuration option not mentioned previously: aliases. These allow for shortened versions of the Composer installation commands that are easier to remember than the full package name. He covers a bit about how it works in Flex and the process it follows behind the scenes when installing the package.
