Encore Installation
First, make sure you install Node.js and also the Yarn package manager.
Then, install Encore into your project with Yarn:
1
$ yarn add @symfony/webpack-encore --devTip
If you are using Flex for your project, you can initialize your project for Encore via:
1 2
$ composer require symfony/webpack-encore-pack
$ yarn installThis will create a webpack.config.js file, add the assets/ directory, and add node_modules/ to
.gitignore.
This command creates (or modifies) a package.json file and downloads dependencies
into a node_modules/ directory. When using Yarn, a file called yarn.lock
is also created/updated. When using npm 5, a package-lock.json file is created/updated.
Tip
You should commit package.json and yarn.lock (or package-lock.json
if using npm 5) to version control, but ignore node_modules/.
Next, create your webpack.config.js in First Example!
