How can I generate a link from a service? I've injected "router" inside my service, however generated links are /view/42
instead of /app_dev.php/view/42
. How can I solve this?
My code is something like this:
services.yml
services:
myservice:
class: My\MyBundle\MyService
arguments: [ @router ]
MyService.php
<?php
namespace My\MyBundle;
class MyService {
public function __construct($router) {
// of course, the die is an example
die($router->generate('BackoffUserBundle.Profile.edit'));
}
}
So : you will need two things.
First of all, you will have to have a dependency on @router (to get generate()).
Secondly, you must set the scope of your service to "request" (I've missed that).
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/service_container/scopes.html
Your services.yml
becomes:
services:
myservice:
class: My\MyBundle\MyService
arguments: [ @router ]
scope: request
Now you can use the @router service's generator function !
Important note regarding Symfony 3.x: As the doc says,
The "container scopes" concept explained in this article has been
deprecated in Symfony 2.8 and it will be removed in Symfony 3.0.
Use the request_stack
service (introduced in Symfony 2.4) instead of
the request
service/scope and use the shared
setting (introduced in
Symfony 2.8) instead of the prototype
scope (read more about shared
services).
I had a similar issue, but using Symfony 3.
While eluded to in the previous answer, it was a bit tricky to find out how exactly one would use request_stack
to achieve the same thing as scope: request
.
In this question's case, it would look something like this:
The services.yml config
services:
myservice:
class: My\MyBundle\MyService
arguments:
- '@request_stack'
- '@router'
And the MyService Class
<?php
namespace My\MyBundle;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\RequestContext;
class MyService {
private $requestStack;
private $router;
public function __construct($requestStack, $router) {
$this->requestStack = $requestStack;
$this->router = $router;
}
public doThing() {
$context = new RequestContext();
$context->fromRequest($this->requestStack->getCurrentRequest());
$this->router->setContext($context);
// of course, the die is an example
die($this->router->generate('BackoffUserBundle.Profile.edit'));
}
}
Note: Accessing RequestStack in the constructor is advised against since it could potentially try to access it before the request is handled by the kernel. So it may return null when trying to fetch the request object from RequestStack.
