Symfonian way to store custom utilities and helper

问题:

Sometimes there are some functions or procedures that I write as helpers and utilities to use all across my apps... Now I'm starting to use Symfony 2, and I don't know what is the best way according to symfony 2 philosophy of Bundles... I wouldn't like to have to create a whole Bundle just to store maybe a couple of functions, but if it is the best way I'll do it. Thanks!

If your utilities and helpers are not Symfony specific, create a library in a separate repo and install it to vendors using the deps with the bin/vendors install command or via Composer, which will become the default way of managing vendors since Symfony 2.1.

If you want your library to integrate seamlessly with Symfony, create a bundle in another separate repo and install it to vendors. This way your library could be used outside Symfony projects, but provide some conveniences when used in Symfony ones.
