Answer 1

For implementation with a composer package, navigate to your symfony package and run the following commands.

Download Vendor Package:

The package you choose is up to you, I am using a popular package (bmatzner/jquery-bundle) for this example.

php composer.phar require bmatzner/jquery-bundle:2.* for jQuery 2.x

or

php composer.phar require bmatzner/jquery-bundle:1.* for jQuery 1.x

Add The Bundle to your AppKernel:

/* /app/AppKernel.php */

class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = [
            new Bmatzner\JQueryBundle\BmatznerJQueryBundle(),
    ///...

Install Assets:

php bin/console assets:install --symlink web

To include in template:

    
        
        
        {% block stylesheets %}{% endblock %}
        
        
    
    
        {% block body %}{% endblock %}
        {% block javascripts %}{% endblock %}
    

Clear Cache:

php bin/console cache:clear --env=dev
php bin/console cache:clear --env=prod
