Attaching a cookie to a view in Symfony2

Question

I\'ve found a few questions and pages dealing with cookies in Symfony2 but there doesn\'t seem to be any clear consensus on exactly how this is supposed to work. I can, of cour

I think you're on the right lines with:

$response->headers->setCookie(new Cookie('name', 'value', 0, '/'));

If you're trying to render a template then check out the docs here:

Symfony2 Templating Service

If you look at the line:

return $this->render('AcmeArticleBundle:Article:index.html.twig');

basically the render method is returning a response (which the controller then returns) which has the content of the twig template, all you have to do is intercept this:

$response = $this->render('AcmeArticleBundle:Article:index.html.twig');
$response->headers->setCookie(new Cookie('name', 'value', 0, '/'));
return $response;

I think that's it anyway...
