migrate TYPO3 Flow project to Neos

Question

Still in decision-making if for a new project whether TYPO3 FLOW or TYPO3 NEOS.

What's if I realize as a FLOW project.

Is it possible and when how to migrate to Neos afterwards?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

TYPO3 Neos is a TYPO3 Flow project. That means that TYPO3 Neos contains of several TYPO3 Flow packages that provide the TYPO3 Neos functionality.

That means you can safely start with TYPO3 Flow and add the TYPO3 Neos packages any time.

Please take a look at the composer file to understand this better: https://git.typo3.org/Neos/Distributions/Base.git/blob/HEAD:/composer.json

Therefore, adding the packages typo3/neos and typo3/neos-nodetypes should do the trick.

Tell your boss that TYPO3 Flow is the right decision ;)

Actually it is the concept of TYPO3 Neos that it sits on top of TYPO3 Flow such that it can be added any time a CMS functionality is needed.

Enjoy the flow ;-)
