Symfony 2 - Working with assets

Question

I need some tips on how to work with assets in Symfony 2. For example, do we have to always perform the assets:update every time an image is added ? I know Assetic take care

Answer 1

As of Symfony 2.7 this will generate relative symlinks in web directory:

php app/console assets:install web --symlink --relative

In composer.json add:

"extra": {
    "symfony-assets-install": "relative"
}

This will also generate relative symlinks on composer update.
