Login SubscribeOur bundle is ready to be shared with the world! So let's take care of a few last details, and publish our bundle to Packagist!
But, before we publish this anywhere, we need do some boring, but very important legal work. Go to choosealicense.com and find the license that works best for you. Symfony is licensed MIT, and that's definitely the best practice. Whatever you choose, copy the license, find your bundle code, and at the root, create the LICENSE file.

Legal stuff, done! Next, find your terminal: there are a bunch of uncommitted changes. Oh, before we add them, I made a mistake!
I have an extra tests/Controller/cache directory! Open IpsumApiControllerTest and find the getCacheDir() method. I meant to change this to use the same cache directory as FunctionalTest, which is already set to be ignored by git. Add a ../ to the path. Then, delete the extra cache/ dir. There's also an extra logs directory, but it's empty, so just ignore it.
| ... lines 1 - 26 | |
| class KnpULoremIpsumControllerKernel extends Kernel | |
| { | |
| ... lines 29 - 55 | |
| public function getCacheDir() | |
| { | |
| return __DIR__.'/../cache/'.spl_object_hash($this); | |
| } | |
| } |
Now move back to your terminal, add everything to git, give it an inspiring message, and commit!
With everything committed, let's push this to GitHub! Well, you can host it anywhere, but GitHub is the most common place. I'll click "New Repository", choose the KnpUniversity organization, and name it lorem-ipsum-bundle.
It's not required, but it's usually nice to name the repository the same as the package name in composer.json. Give it a clever description, make sure it's public, and create repository!
Copy the code to push to an existing repository, go find your terminal, quick! Paste, hit enter, wait impatiently... then... say hello to our new repository!
With that done, we can now put our bundle up on Packagist! Go to packagist.org and make sure you're logged in. Then, it's super easy: click "Submit", copy the GitHub URL, paste, and click "Check".
This does some sanity checks in the background, like parsing your composer.json file and waiting for Jordi to search for any similar packages on Packagist, to help avoid duplication.
Looks ok! Moment of truth: Submit!
Boom! We are a package!
Oh, but notice this message:
The package is not auto-updated. Please setup the Github Service Hook
This is actually important. When we create a new tag in GitHub, we want Packagist to automatically see it.
Go back to GitHub, click Settings, Integration & services, "Add service" and find Packagist. You'll need to enter your username and a token you can find on your Packagist profile page. Then, add service!
And, for now, we're done! We have a real package! Next, open our application's composer.json file. We're still using this path repository option. Let's finally install our package properly. Remove the repositories section.
Then, go to the terminal for your app, and, first, remove the current package:
composer remove knpuniversity/lorem-ipsum-bundle
Gone! And thanks to the Flex recipe, it also removed the bundle from bundles.php. Cool!
Now, lets re-install it:
composer require knpuniversity/lorem-ipsum-bundle
This downloads dev-master, so the master branch, because there's no tag yet. And! Flex re-added the bundle to bundles.php.
Cool! But, go back to the GitHub page for our bundle. See anything missing? Yea, no README! That's not ok! If you go back to the "Symfony bundle best practices" page, this has an example README you can use to get started.
Head back to our code, I'll close a few files, then create a new README.md file. And, bam! I just wrote us a README file!
| # Hello LoremIpsumBundle! | |
| LoremIpsumBundle is a way for you to generate "fake text" into | |
| your Symfony application, but with *just* a little bit more joy | |
| than your normal lorem ipsum. | |
| Install the package with: | |
| ```console | |
| composer require knpuniversity/lorem-ipsum-bundle --dev | |
| ``` | |
| And... that's it! If you're *not* using Symfony Flex, you'll also | |
| need to enable the `KnpU\LoremIpsumBundle\KnpULoremIpsumBundle` | |
| in your `AppKernel.php` file. | |
| ## Usage | |
| This bundle provides a single service for generating fake text, which | |
| you can autowire by using the `KnpUIpsum` type-hint: | |
| ... lines 21 - 94 |
Don't worry, I'm not going to lecture you on how to write README files. Well, actually, can I take just one minute to point out the most important parts that I think people sometimes forget?
To start, make sure your bundle has these four parts. One, at the top, say what the bundle does in plain language! Two, show the composer require installation command. Three, give a simple usage example, before talking about any other technical jargon. And four, show the configuration.
After that, you can talk about whatever complex or theoretical stuff you want, like how to create a word provider.
Also, when you create code examples, there are two common mistakes. First, make sure you include the file path as a comment: people don't always know where a file should live. Second, don't create the code blocks here. Believe me, you'll make a mistake. Code them in a real app, paste them here, then tweak.
Oh, and for the configuration section, remember, you can run:
php bin/console config:dump knpu_lorem_ipsum
to get a full config tree to paste here. Oh, and, if the user needs to create a file - like knpu_lorem_ipsum.yaml, say that explicitly: sometimes people think they're doing something wrong if a file doesn't already exist.
The last thing I would recommend is, if it makes sense, create a recipe for your bundle. Do this at github.com/symfony/recipes-contrib. We're not going to do this, but if your bundle needs a config file or any other setup, this is a huge way to make it easier to use.
If you don't create a recipe, Flex will at least enable the bundle automatically. And in a lot of cases - like for this bundle - that's enough.
Ok, just one topic left, and it's fun! Let's setup continuous integration on Travis CI so that we can be sure our tests are always passing.
Hey Benoit,
Good question! Well, you just need to make the package name unique, i.e. rename that "knpuniversity/lorem-ipsum-bundle" into something like "%your github username here%/lorem-ipsum-bundle". It should be unique enough this way.
Cheers!
Hi, again me,
when i install my bundle with, composer req my/package i get an error :
!! DependencyInjection/config/packages/synology.yaml
!! In SynologyExtension.php line 23:
!!
!! Notice: Undefined index: dsm_app_id
cause he don't found the file /config/packages/synology.yaml in the symfony root project
######
Edit :
Ok found ! must add default value in the dependency configuration file
Hello, I have a question about the recipe.
I've decided to write my own recipe for this nice bundle ( https://github.com/BooleanType/symfony-recipes/tree/master/boolean-type ). My version of bundle is here: https://packagist.org/packages/boolean-type/lorem-ipsum-bundle .
Why have I decided to write it? First of all is, for sure, getting experience in it :) Secondly, when I remove bundle via composer remove, I see an error in console: There is no extension able to load the configuration for "knpu_lorem_ipsum", which is quite understandable, since the configuration file is not removed along with the bundle. The same is true when creating a bundle: I would like the configuration file to be created automatically, as happens when installing the official Symfony bundles.
So, my recipe is very easy:
1) registers bundle in <i>bundles.php</i>;
2) copies <i>knpu_lorem_ipsum.yaml</i> in app's <i>/config/packages</i> dir;
3) creates 2 vars in <i>.env</i>: KNPU_LOREM_IPSUM_FOO and KNPU_LOREM_IPSUM_BAR;
4) shows some custom text after bundle installation.
All I want is to see, if it works correctly. But unfortunately I can't test it :(
As I know, that private recipes (as mine is) are not allowed for pushing to contrib. I've tried to use "Server for Symfony Flex" ( https://server-for-symfony-flex.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ ), but no success. I run php bin/console system:status and see my recipe:
Configuration
----------------------------------- ----------
Proxy for official endpoint enabled
Caching for official endpoint enabled
Local mirror for official recipes enabled
Local mirror for contrib recipes disabled
----------------------------------- ----------
Repo status
---------- ------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ------------ ---------------------
Repo Url Remote readable Downloaded Last Update
---------- ------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ------------ ---------------------
private https://github.com/BooleanType/symfony-recipes Yes Yes 2021-02-17 21:38:48
official https://github.com/symfony/recipes Yes Yes 2021-02-17 21:38:52
contrib https://github.com/symfony/recipes-contrib Yes No
---------- ------------------------------------------------ ----------------- ------------ ---------------------
But when I run composer recipes boolean-type/lorem-ipsum-bundle, I see only auto-generated recipe, which just adds my bundle in <i>bundles.php</i>:
name : boolean-type/lorem-ipsum-bundle
version : v1.0.0
status : auto-generated recipe
Of course, I expect to see my <i>private</i> recipe, but something is wrong. And I even can't say, or am <i>I</i> wrong, when using this server, either this server just doesn't work for some reason.
So, is there a possibility to test my recipe? Can you advice me some lib / tech for this? Maybe, it is still possible to test via pushing to contrib?
Thanks in advance.
Hey @Boolean_Type!
Nice job on the recipe!
And yes, it is possible to test your recipe. As you mentioned, there is no support for private recipes. The process to test looks like this:
A) Create a pull request to for your recipe. You will want to make it against the https://github.com/symfony/... repository
B) Once the pull request is open, at the bottom, you should see the message "This branch was successfully deployed" with a "Show environments" link. You can see an example on this open PR: https://github.com/symfony/...
C) If you click on that link, it will give you instructions on how to test your recipe. Basically, when you create a pull request, it deploys your recipe to the Symfony Flex server. Then, you can set an environment variable to tell your local Flex to use that deployment. This allows you to (after setting the env var) go into a project and "composer require" your bundle and see how the new recipe behaves :).
Let me know if this helps!
Cheers!
Hello again! :)
I've done all your instructions, my recipe is now in pull request ( https://github.com/symfony/recipes-contrib/pull/1099 ).
Also I've got instructions, when clicked "View deployment" button generated by symfony-flex-server bot ( https://flex.symfony.com/r/github.com/symfony/recipes-contrib/1099 ):
Step 0. Allow installing "contrib" recipes in your application:
composer config extra.symfony.allow-contrib true
Step 1. Define the SYMFONY_ENDPOINT environment variable:
# On *nix and Mac
export SYMFONY_ENDPOINT=https://flex.symfony.com/r/github.com/symfony/recipes-contrib/1099
# On Windows
SET SYMFONY_ENDPOINT=https://flex.symfony.com/r/github.com/symfony/recipes-contrib/1099
# ... and so on ...
So, I've set env var, removed and installed back my bundle. Next I run:composer recipes boolean-type/lorem-ipsum-bundle
Result is:
Using "https://flex.symfony.com/r/github.com/symfony/recipes-contrib/1099" as the Symfony endpoint
name : boolean-type/lorem-ipsum-bundle
version : v1.0.0
status : auto-generated recipe
I've noticed this <i>"Using ... as the Symfony endpoint"</i>. But when I run composer recipes:install boolean-type/lorem-ipsum-bundle --force -v, still auto-generated recipe is applied. What am I missing? Thanks.
Hey there,
That's odd, in theory it should work. Is it related to this comment? https://github.com/symfony/...
But you see, I just tried to install the bundle on another project - it worked! :) Maybe, I have wrong setting on my home test project or I had to wait a bit until it worked (I guess waiting, because the installation instructions ( https://flex.symfony.com/r/... ) did not appear immediately, but only a few hours after the recipe was successfully validated by bot).
I'll try at at home project tonight too and I will know for sure.
Interesting... perhaps it was Composer's cache who caused that odd behavior. If you face to this problem again try clearing out composer's cache and see if that works :)
Cheers!
I've cleared my cache and repeated the whole bundle and recipe installations process - everything works as expected! Thanks!
Hej, I'm not sure, that this comment is actual, 'cause I've re-pushed my files after that ( https://github.com/symfony/... ) and all checks passed for this commit...
Helloy.
Can you help?
In my case symfony flex doesn't enable bundle in bundles.php.
I can't understand why? Maybe you can suggest me a reason.
I use symfony 4.4
Hey Вячеслав Л.
Can you tell me what bundle is not being registered? Also, could you double check that Symfony Flex is installed in your project?
When you install a bundle that comes with a recipe, you should see a message coming from Composer that a recipe was found
Cheers!
I try install my bundle, from private bitbucket repository, In my project Flex installed, because other bundles registred, after composer required
Ohh, it's your own bundle. It may be missing the "type" key on your composer.json. Check at this piece of documentation: https://symfony.com/doc/4.4...
Cheers!

my composer.json in bundle
Hey Вячеслав Л.!
Well, the type key looks perfect :). Here is the logic in Symfony Flex that automatically updates bundles.php when it's installing a "symfony-bundle" type: https://github.com/symfony/flex/blob/c497c0c77cb9018cccd9c092832ebf9826612f92/src/Flex.php#L760-L775
For this to work, you need a few things:
A) The symfony-bundle type
B) Flex needs to be able to locate your bundle class
My guess is that (B) is not working. Flex looks in some "common" places for your "bundle" file and follows some conventions to find it. The logic is here: https://github.com/symfony/flex/blob/e4f5a2653ca503782a31486198bd1dd1c9a47f83/src/SymfonyBundle.php#L33-L63
This looks at your psr-4 path (so, src/ in your case) then uses your namespace to try to find the correct bundle class there. I'm not actually sure all the things it "tries" - the logic is in the extractClassNames() method that it calls. I would add some var_dump inside that method and install your bundle to see what class names it's looking for. It's possible that your bundle class (or file path) is not what Flex is expecting, so it can't "guess" it and install it.
Let me know what you find out!
Cheers!
How do you keep updating the bundle once it's in Packagist? I mean the code now is in /vendor how do I manage to have the GIT?
Hey Sela,
As an author of the bundle, you have access to its Git repository, right? So, just push your changes to that repo. If you would like to do some changes in the bundle in a real project - you can install the bundle from the local Git repository with Composer. Then it will be symlinked, so when you will change code in your bundle's local repository - you will see the changes in your project. See Composer docs for more information on it: https://getcomposer.org/doc... .
As an alternative solution, Composer allow you to install packages from source, use "composer install --prefer-source" and Composer, instead downloading just files, will pull down the entire Git repositories, but the previous solutions might be better I think :) And actually exactly this solution we show in this course, see https://symfonycasts.com/sc... . Have you seen that chapter? :)
I hope this helps!
Cheers!

It is my first time to post on Packagist. If I take the code from the tutorial and try to post it and I get "A package with the name knpuniversity/lorem-ipsum-bundle already exists." which I guess was to be expected. If I want to finish section 19 and 20, what should I do?
