Getting Started

Install dependencies

npm install -g yo grunt bower

To install generator-grunt-symfony from npm, run:

npm install -g generator-grunt-symfony

Finally, initiate the generator:

yo grunt-symfony

Environments

The browsersync server uses it's own symfony environment to prevent asset loading conflicts with the environment loaded via apache2.

Directory structure

The directory structure is based on the Symfony Best Practices

Dev

• Assets are located in app/Resources/public
• Templates can be found in app/Resources/views

Production

• All production assets are located in the web folder.
• Run grunt build to compile, optimize and rev your assets for production.
