Get Rolling Fast with Symfony Flex
summary
Claim: Symfony Flex is a Composer plugin that automates installing and removing bundles by applying recipes and packs, generating config, env vars and gitignore entries. Demo shows creating a symfony-skeleton, requiring twig and maker, auto-installing annotations, then created controller and twig template and the site renders immediately. Packs like symfony/orm install many packages but leave only the pack in composer.json. Silex is declared end‑of‑life; Flex aims to let projects start small and evolve into full Symfony.
