From a Symfony 4 project, Is there a properly/symfony way for get the root path directory from a Fixture class ?
The final goal :
I use fixtures class for load some "default" datas in my database when I deploy my website. (May be its not a good practice)
Among theses defaults datas, I need to store the root path directory of the project because I need this information from custom utils and services class in the project.
I know there are multiple ways for that. Currently, I hard coded the absolute path ( <= best ugliest way ever ;) )
Symfonfy 4.1.7
Service.yml
services:
_defaults:
bind:
$webDirectory: '%kernel.project_dir%/public_html/'
Fixtures File
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile;
// --
private $webDirectory, $imageLocation;
public function __construct($webDirectory)
{
$this->webDirectory = $webDirectory;
$this->imageLocation = $webDirectory . 'img/config/';
}
public function load(ObjectManager $manager){
for ($i = 0; $i < 20; $i++) {
copy($this->imageLocation . 'blog_default_50x50.jpg', $this->imageLocation . 'blog_default_50x50-copy.jpg');
$file = new UploadedFile($this->imageLocation . 'blog_default_50x50-copy.jpg', 'Image1', null, null, null, true);
---
$blogPost->setFile($file);
$manager->persist($blogPost);
}
$manager->flush();
}
UploadedFile() info from https://stackoverflow.com/a/18883334/624533 (Thankyou!).
Hope this helps someone.
