Since its creation, JavaScript has always been focused on creating innovative User Experiences. It lets developers create the most intuitive and usable User Experience possible for a specific problem.

In practice however, building great User Experiences with JavaScript is difficult. It takes time to choose reliable packages, to configure them, to integrate them in your pages, and to make your front-end code interact with the rest of your infrastructure.

This problem is not new: it looks a whole lot like the state of Symfony in PHP before Symfony Flex. We need a Symfony Flex equivalent for JavaScript: a tool to build amazing User Experiences as quickly as we can now setup an HTTP client, a Mailer or an administration panel.

That's Symfony UX.

Read all the details about the Symfony UX initiative

• UX Chart.js: Chart.js chart library integration for Symfony
• UX Cropper.js: Cropper.js image cropper library integration for Symfony
• UX Dropzone: File input drag-and-drop zones for Symfony Forms
• UX LazyImage: Improve image loading performances through lazy-loading and data-uri thumbnails
• UX Swup: Swup page transition library integration for Symfony

Symfony UX is an initiative: its aim is to build an ecosystem. To achieve this, we need your help: what other packages could we create in Symfony UX? What about a library that automatically adds an input mask to the text fields of your Symfony forms? Or the ability to make the EntityType render with AJAX auto-completion? Anything you do in JavaScript could be done streamlined as a UX package.

We have some ideas and we will release more packages in the coming days. The rest is on you: let's create an amazing ecosystem together!
