Symfony Flex recipes for Thelia packages. When you install a Thelia package that has a recipe here, Flex applies it: it registers the bundle, writes default configuration, copies files and sets environment variables.
The Thelia skeleton (thelia/thelia-skeleton) declares this endpoint under extra.symfony.endpoint, so projects created from it pick the recipes up automatically.
index.jsonlists the packages that have a recipe, with their versions.<vendor>.<package>.<version>.jsonis a recipe: the bundle to register, the files to copy and the environment variables to set.archived/keeps older Symfony recipe versions kept as dependencies.
See the Symfony Flex recipe format for the file structure.
