Link between a component and its symfony framework "counterpart"

[epitre]

Hi,

I am using symfony framework for a project, and lately, I needed to use the cache component.

So, I have been reading again and again the cache component documentation : https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/cache.html

And after DAYS, I stumbled upon the cache documentation : https://symfony.com/doc/current/cache.html which is actually what I was really looking for.

And if you are on the cache component documentation, there is no link to the cache documentation.

This is a recurring issue, and I find it very annoying.

The worst is that I am an experienced symfony developer who understand the difference between the cache component and its configuration in the symfony framework.

I did teach some beginners and they are totally lost (and I can't blame them).

I suggest that in each X Component documentation, there should be paragraph with a link to it's symfony framework counterpart, and vice versa.

It would make the life of symfony framework developers a lot easier, especially beginners.

My 2 cents.

Thank you for this issue.
There has not been a lot of activity here for a while. Has this been resolved?

I'm closing this issue. I know it's not "fixed" ... but it won't be fixed anytime soon.

I'm closing because we're aware of this problem and we've been trying to fix it for years. Some time ago we removed many docs from the components and moved them to the general docs about using Symfony features inside a Symfony app. We haven't made many changes like that recently, but we won't forget about that. We want to do it and we'll do it; it's a matter of finding the resources to do it.

Thanks!
