Symfony Flex is a Composer plugin that automates the installation and configuration of Symfony applications and their bundles via a recipe system. It works with the symfony/recipes repository to wire up packages automatically during composer install/require.

Use cases

• set up a new symfony project quickly
• automatically configure bundles when installing via composer
• manage symfony dependency versions
• scaffold symfony application configuration files
• install symfony packages with auto-configuration recipes

When to choose

• you are building a Symfony application and want automated bundle configuration
• you want Composer to handle config file setup for Symfony packages
• you need streamlined Symfony project scaffolding

When to avoid

• you are not using PHP or Composer
• you work outside the Symfony ecosystem and don't want recipe-driven config changes
• you need fully manual control over every package's configuration
