Symfony2: in Twig, pass Request with Render function

Question

I understand that using {% render() %} automatically forces a new request object to be sent, but im curious if theres a way to pass in the originating request a

Answer 1

If I understand correctly, you're looking for this:

{% render "MyBundle:Controller:someAction" with { 'originalRequest' : app.request } %}

Answer 2

use the render function as a result

{{ render(controller('MyBundle:ControllerName:example', {'originalRequest': app.request})) }}

and then in your controller

public function exampleAction(Request $originalRequest)
{
    // do something
}

Answer 3

Since Symfony 2.4 you can access the original request via the request_stack. This avoids the need to create a new method parameter.

function exampleAction() {
  $request = $this->get('request_stack')->getMasterRequest();
  //do something
}

Use this carefully as it makes your sub-requests incompatible with ESIs/reverse proxies (where a sub-request is also a master request) http://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-2-4-the-request-stack
