How to Use Service Container Parameters in your Routes

Sometimes you may find it useful to make some parts of your routes globally configurable. For instance, if you build an internationalized site, you’ll probably start with one or two locales. Surely you’ll add a requirement to your routes to prevent a user from matching a locale other than the locales you support.

You could hardcode your _locale requirement in all your routes, but a better solution is to use a configurable service container parameter right inside your routing configuration:

• YAML

  # app/config/routing.yml
  contact:
      path:     /{_locale}/contact
      defaults: { _controller: AppBundle:Main:contact }
      requirements:
          _locale: "%app.locales%"
  

• XML

  <!-- app/config/routing.xml -->
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  <routes xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/routing"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/routing http://symfony.com/schema/routing/routing-1.0.xsd">
  
      <route id="contact" path="/{_locale}/contact">
          <default key="_controller">AppBundle:Main:contact</default>
          <requirement key="_locale">%app.locales%</requirement>
      </route>
  </routes>
  

• PHP

  // app/config/routing.php
  use Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollection;
  use Symfony\Component\Routing\Route;
  
  $collection = new RouteCollection();
  $collection->add('contact', new Route('/{_locale}/contact', array(
      '_controller' => 'AppBundle:Main:contact',
  ), array(
      '_locale' => '%app.locales%',
  )));
  
  return $collection;
  

You can now control and set the app.locales parameter somewhere in your container:

• YAML

  # app/config/config.yml
  parameters:
      app.locales: en|es
  

• XML

  <!-- app/config/config.xml -->
  <parameters>
      <parameter key="app.locales">en|es</parameter>
  </parameters>
  

• PHP

  // app/config/config.php
  $container->setParameter('app.locales', 'en|es');
  

You can also use a parameter to define your route path (or part of your path):

• YAML

  # app/config/routing.yml
  some_route:
      path:     /%app.route_prefix%/contact
      defaults: { _controller: AppBundle:Main:contact }
  

• XML

  <!-- app/config/routing.xml -->
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
  <routes xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/routing"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://symfony.com/schema/routing http://symfony.com/schema/routing/routing-1.0.xsd">
  
      <route id="some_route" path="/%app.route_prefix%/contact">
          <default key="_controller">AppBundle:Main:contact</default>
      </route>
  </routes>
  

• PHP

  // app/config/routing.php
  use Symfony\Component\Routing\RouteCollection;
  use Symfony\Component\Routing\Route;
  
  $collection = new RouteCollection();
  $collection->add('some_route', new Route('/%app.route_prefix%/contact', array(
      '_controller' => 'AppBundle:Main:contact',
  )));
  
  return $collection;
  

注解

Just like in normal service container configuration files, if you actually need a % in your route, you can escape the percent sign by doubling it, e.g. /score-50%%, which would resolve to /score-50%.

However, as the % characters included in any URL are automatically encoded, the resulting URL of this example would be /score-50%25 (%25 is the result of encoding the % character).
