redirect to a different homepage following user ro

Question

In my Symfony application I am using the FOSUserBundle.

It's an application involved two main Roles of User: Factory as ROLE_FACTORY and Custommer as ROLE_CUSTOMER.

I have a main page for non-connected user, it's the home page of the application.

But when User is going to be connected or is connected, following the role he has, the home page has to change.

So the fos user login action have to redirect to the right page.

ROLE_FACTORY have to be redirect to the factory_homepage route. ROLE_CUSTOMER have to be redirect to the customer_homepage route.

How can I create this behavior in the best practice using Symfony and FOSUSerBundle.

Answer 1

First off there is no best practice for this. So I leave that decision of selecting one of these options to you whichever suits you according to your needs.

OPTION 1:

You have to implement an EventListener in this case.

STEP 1)

Register a service

<service id="acme_demo.listener.login" class="Acme\DemoBundle\EventListener\LoginListener" scope="request">
    <tag name="kernel.event_listener" event="security.interactive_login" method="onSecurityInteractiveLogin"/>
    <argument type="service" id="router"/>
    <argument type="service" id="security.context"/>
    <argument type="service" id="event_dispatcher"/>
</service>

STEP 2)

Your EventListener itself

class LoginListener
{
    protected $router;
    protected $security;
    protected $dispatcher;

    public function __construct(Router $router, SecurityContext $security, EventDispatcher $dispatcher)
    {
        $this->router = $router;
        $this->security = $security;
        $this->dispatcher = $dispatcher;
    }

    public function onSecurityInteractiveLogin(InteractiveLoginEvent $event)
    {
        $this->dispatcher->addListener(KernelEvents::RESPONSE, array($this, 'onKernelResponse'));
    }

    public function onKernelResponse(FilterResponseEvent $event)
    {
        if ($this->security->isGranted('ROLE_FACTORY')) 
        {
            $response = new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('factory_homepage'));
        } 
        elseif ($this->security->isGranted('ROLE_CUSTOMER')) 
        {
            $response = new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('customer_homepage'));
        } 
        else 
        {
            $response = new RedirectResponse($this->router->generate('default_homepage'));
        }

        $event->setResponse($response);
    }
}

OPTION 2:

You can modify the vendor code at FOSUserBundle\Controller\SecurityController Add the following piece of code to make your loginAction look like this

public function loginAction(Request $request)
{
    $securityContext = $this->container->get('security.context');
    $router = $this->container->get('router');

    if ($securityContext->isGranted('ROLE_FACTORY')) 
    {
        return new RedirectResponse($router->generate('factory_homepage'));
    }
    elseif ($securityContext->isGranted('ROLE_CUSTOMER')) 
    {
        return new RedirectResponse($router->generate('customer_homepage'));
    }
    else
    {
        return new RedirectResponse($router->generate('default_homepage'));
    }
}
