Symfony Components
Beside being a full-stack framework, Symfony is also a set of decoupled and standalone components.
What is a Component?
Symfony Components implement common features needed to develop websites. They are the foundation of the Symfony full-stack framework, but they can also be used standalone even if you don't use the framework as they don't have any mandatory dependencies.
Installation
You can install each component in many different ways:
- Recommended Install it via Composer (
symfony/dashed-component-nameon Packagist). - Use the official Git repository (
https://github.com/symfony/CamelCaseComponentName); - Obsolete Install it via PEAR (
pear.symfony.com/CamelCaseComponentName);
For instance, to install the HttpFoundation component:
With Git
git clone https://github.com/symfony/HttpFoundation vendor/
With PEAR
pear channel-discover pear.symfony.com
pear install symfony2/HttpFoundation
With Composer
{
"require": {
"symfony/http-foundation": "v2.0.11"
}
}
