Stopwatch missing completely in current versions' docs

[ThomasLandauer]

This page doesn't have a version > 3.4: https://symfony.com/doc/3.4/components/stopwatch.html
Searching for "stopwatch" doesn't find anything: https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/index.html
And no Stopwatch in the list at https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/components/index.html

It's now documented here: https://github.com/symfony/stopwatch#getting-started and here: https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/performance.html#profiling-applications (the only build in framework usage of stopwatch is within the profiler)

[ThomasLandauer]

Is this the new plan to move components docs away from symfony.com to their GitHub page?

https://symfony.com/components/Stopwatch is empty (i.e. useless), and https://github.com/symfony/stopwatch#getting-started replaces all the information that was at https://symfony.com/doc/3.4/components/stopwatch.html by one single code block.

Is this the future of Symfony documentation?

[wouterj]

The plan is to focus on framework usage and remove component documentation from symfony.com. So instead of documenting how to use a component standalone, we document how to use a component in the Symfony framework. Then, for our standalone users, we add an code example to the README to introduce them to how to set-up the component in a non-Symfony application.
Some utility components, like HttpClient, are more focused on standalone usage and get a little more attention for standalone usage in the Symfony docs.

Most of the component docs has been moved to https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/performance.html#profiling-applications , it's still documented

Well, that's not true. I'm using the Stopwatch in Console Commands within the Framework. I certainly wouldn't call that "profiling" - it's just measuring time using a, well, stopwatch ;-)

Suggestion:
Could you redesign the component pages like https://symfony.com/components/Stopwatch :

• Move the "Resources" sidebar to the center, right under "Installation" (it's certainly more important than the list of projects)
• Have two links there: "Documentation for Framework Users" and "Documentation for Standalone Users"
• Merge https://symfony.com/doc/4.4/components/index.html into https://symfony.com/components and link "Components" in the breadcrumb navigation to this page.
