Routing in Symfony2

Question

How to setup default routing in Symfony2?

In Symfony1 it looked something like this:

homepage:
  url:   /
  param: { module: default, action: index }

de         


        

Answer 1

Alternatively, you can use @Route annotation directly in a controller file. see https://github.com/sensio/SensioFrameworkExtraBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/annotations/routing.rst

As for the default routes, I think Symfony2 encourages explicit route mapping.

Answer 2

// Symfony2 PR10

in routing.yml:

default:
    pattern:  /{_controller}

It enables you to use this kind of urls: http://localhost/MySuperBundle:MyController:myview

Answer 3

It depends... Some of mine look like this:

api_email:
resource: "@MApiBundle/Resources/config/routing_email.yml"
prefix: /

and some look like

api_images:
path:     /images/{listingId}/{width}/{fileName}
defaults: { _controller: ApiBundle:Image:view, listingId: null, width: null, fileName: null }
methods:  [GET]
requirements:
    fileName: .+

If you want to create a "catch all", your best bet would be to hook on the KernelEvents::EXCEPTION event. This event gets triggered whenever an Exception falls through to the HttpKernel, this includes the NotFoundHttpException thrown when the router cannot resolve a route to a Controller.

The effect would be similar to Symfony's stylized 404 page that gets rendered when you send the request through app_dev.php. Instead of returning a 404, you perform whatever logic you're looking to.
