# Symfony
Symfony v7.1 (2025) is the bedrock of modern PHP (Drupal, Laravel components). It emphasizes **Attributes** (Annotations) and strict typing.
## When to Use
- **Enterprise PHP**: Complex business logic, long-term stability (LTS).
- **Components**: Using standalone libraries (Console, HttpFoundation) in other apps.
- **DDD**: Well-suited for complex domain modeling.
## Core Concepts
### Dependency Injection
The Container is central. Auto-wiring is default.
### Bundles
Plugin system.
### Attributes
`#[Route('/api', name: 'api')]` replaces YAML/Annotation configs.
## Best Practices (2025)
**Do**:
- **Use Maker Bundle**: `php bin/console make:controller`.
- **Use AssetMapper**: No Webpack/Node.js required for simple assets.
- **Use Messenger**: For async message bus (queues).
**Don't**:
- **Don't use YAML for Services**: Use PHP attributes and autowiring.
