+
+Using Bower with Symfony
+========================
+
+Symfony and all its packages are perfectly managed by Composer. Bower is a
+dependency management tool for front-end dependencies, like Bootstrap or
+jQuery. As Symfony is purely a back-end framework, it can't help you much with
+Bower. Fortunately, it is very easy to use!
+
+Installing Bower
+----------------
+
+Bower_ is built on top of `Node.js`_. Make sure you have that installed and
+then run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ npm install -g bower
+
+After this command succeeded, run ``bower`` in your terminal to find out if
+it's installed correctly.
+
+.. tip::
+
+ If you don't want to have NodeJS on your computer, you can also use
+ BowerPHP_ (an unofficial PHP port of Bower). Beware that this is still in
+ an alpha state. If you're using BowerPHP, use ``bowerphp`` instead of
+ ``bower`` in the examples.
+
+Configuring Bower in your Project
+---------------------------------
+
+Normally, Bower downloads everything into a ``bower_components/`` directory. In
+Symfony, only files in the ``web/`` directory are publicly accessible, so you
+need to configure Bower to download things there instead. To do that, just
+create a ``.bowerrc`` file with a new destination (like ``web/assets/vendor``):
+
+.. code-block:: json
+
+ {
+ "directory": "web/assets/vendor/"
+ }
+
+An Example: Installing Bootstrap
+--------------------------------
+
+Believe it or not, but you're now ready to use Bower in your Symfony
+application. As an example, you'll now install Bootstrap in your project and
+include it in your layout.
+
+Installing the Dependency
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To create a ``bower.json`` file, just run ``bower init``. Now you're ready to
+start adding things to your project. For example, to add Bootstrap_ to your
+``bower.json`` and download it, just run:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ $ bower install --save bootstrap
+
+This will install Bootstrap and its dependencies in ``web/assets/vendor/`` (or
+whatever directory you configured in ``.bowerrc``).
+
+.. seealso::
+
+ For more details on how to use Bower, check out `Bower documentation`_.
+
+Including the Dependency in your Template
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Now that the dependencies are installed, you can include bootstrap in your
+template like normal CSS/JS:
+
+.. configuration-block::
+
+ .. code-block:: html+jinja
+
+ {# app/Resources/views/layout.html.twig #}
+
+
+
+ {# ... #}
+
+
+
+
+ {# ... #}
+
+
+ .. code-block:: html+php
+
+
+
+
+
+ {# ... #}
+
+
+
+
+ {# ... #}
+
+
+Great job! Your site is now using Bootstrap. You can now easily upgrade
+bootstrap to the latest version and manage other front-end dependencies too.
