Assets not install in symfony 4 - symfony

Question

I read symfony documentation for Web Assets and create /assets directory in root of my project then run command php bin/console assets:install but get:
[OK] No assets were provided by any bundle.
I store one CSS file in assets directory but didn't install in /public
how should I do?

Answer 1

The web assets documentation for Symfony 4 recommends using Webpack Encore.
The assets:install command is not used in this configuration.
Here's what you have to do according to the documentation :
Install Node.js and Yarn on your computer.
Install Encore into your project with : yarn add #symfony/webpack-encore --dev
Configure webpack / Encore by editing (or creating) the webpack.config.js file as described here.
Compile your assets by running : yarn run encore dev

Answer 2

There is a workaround to do it clearly (more or less) while we are waiting for further webpack-encore development. Can be done by Makefile or similar way but here is more native solution.
Create blank bundle:
// src/BlankBundle/BlankBundle.php
namespace App\BlankBundle;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
class BlankBundle extends Bundle
{
}
Then put your assets to src/BlankBundle/Resources/public directory and enable the bundle:
// add it to config/bundles.php
App\BlankBundle\BlankBundle::class => ['all' => true],
After executing php bin/console assets:install command your resources will be at public/bundles/blank directory.
