GetConfig() in Symfony2 - symfony

I looked after this, but I didn't found something useful.
Is there a method like Symfony1.4 getConfig() in Symfony2.7 to get a config value from a Yaml file? Thanks in advance.

Instead of define hard-coded configuration values, create a parameter :
# app/config/parameters.yml or app/config/config.yml
parameters:
your_param: value # Define the parameter
Use it in your configuration :
# app/config/config.yml
my_package:
my_parameter: "%your_param%"
Retrieve it from your controller or another context which can access the service container :
$this->container->getParameter('yourparam');
See DI and parameters and How do I read configuration settings from Symfony2 config.yml?

bundle's service (autowire) not available in controller's method

I'd like to use https://github.com/tedious/TedivmStashBundle bundle in my symfony 4 project. Added by composer, configured in /config/stash.yaml file and according to the profiler bar, it's working basically.
Now, I want to use to caching values in my controller. I've try to add the service stash by its name to the method's parameter, using the same name as the example says:
$pool = $this->container->get('stash');
but the framework did not find the service. It can't be added like the example explained neither.
How can I use this bundle as a service (autowired) in my symfony 4 app?
UPDATE
services.yaml:
stash.default_cache:
class: Tedivm\StashBundle\Service\CacheService
public: true
arguments:
$name: 'stash'
Tedivm\StashBundle\Service\CacheService: '#stash.default_cache'
Controller:
public function something(Request $request, CacheService $service, ...
It's looks like working now :)
Thanx for the suggestion (and the correct solution later) to #Cerad
Here is an example of how to approach this sort of problem when dealing with bundles that are not quite ready for autowire.
Start by installing a test project:
symfony new --full stash --version=lts
composer require tedivm/stash-bundle
Note that the bundle does not directly support Symfony 5 hence the lts. Note also that the bundles does not support Flex so you have to add your own config/packages/stash.yaml file per the bundle's readme file.
# config/packages/stash.yaml
stash:
drivers: [ FileSystem ]
FileSystem: ~
At this point we can determine which service we need to inject:
bin/console debug:container stash
Information for Service "stash.default_cache"
=============================================
Class CacheService
---------------- -----------------------------------------
Option Value
---------------- -----------------------------------------
Service ID stash.default_cache
Class Tedivm\StashBundle\Service\CacheService
Most of the time you would like to use an interface for injection but a peek at the source code reveals that the bundle does not use interfaces. As a side note, calling a third party service 'stash' is not a good idea. It really should have been 'tedivm.stash' but I digress.
We can now create an alias and then typehint against it:
# config/services.yaml
Tedivm\StashBundle\Service\CacheService : '#stash' # alias for typehinting
# Controller class
public function index(CacheService $cacheService)
{
return new Response('Cache ' . get_class($cacheService));
}
And that should do it.

Symfony Dependency Injection: Set a repository as a service using php

I have the set the following respository as a service on my Symfony 3.2 project:
person_in_need_repository:
class: AppBundle\Repository\PersonInNeedRepository
factory: ["#doctrine","getRepository"]
arguments: ["AppBundle:PersonInNeed"]
How can I change its annotation in php format?
It can be done by like this:
use AppBundle\Repository\PersonInNeedRepository;
$container->register('app.person_in_need_repository',PersonInNeedRepository::class)
->setFactory([new Reference("doctrine"),"getRepository"])
->addArgument('AppBundle:PersonInNeed');
Also ensure that you have replaced the services.yml with services.php on config.yml when using it as a global way to set the services. Also rename properly the services.yml.

Error While Updating Symfony2 Project

I'm trying to inject a Google Analytics tracking number into all my Symfony2 views so I used the instructions here http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/templating/global_variables.html using this method:
# app/config/config.yml
twig:
globals:
ga_tracking: "%ga_tracking%"
And then I added my tracking number to parameters.yml
# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
ga_tracking: UA-xxxxx-x
And everything works perfectly but as soon as I do a composer.phar update or install I get the following message:
You have requested a non-existent parameter "ga_tracking".
And the ga_tracking line in my parameters.yml file gets erased (along with a couple other variables I've defined using the same process).
Any help would be appreciated.
The parameters.yml file is edited by Composer upon update, there's actually a comment about this at the top of the file...
# This file is auto-generated during the composer install
If you want to store additional parameters, store them elsewhere. In your config.yml, add a custom parameters file to your current imports :
imports:
- { resource: parameters.yml }
- { resource: my_parameters.yml } # Your custom file.
- { resource: security.yml }
Once you've made the edit, add your variables/parameters into a my_parameters.yml file instead. This one should be left untouched when updating. Don't forget to specify the parameters group in your custom file as well :
my_parameters.yml
parameters:
ga_tracking: "Your-tracking-code"
#ga_tracking: "%ga_tracking%"

Symfony2: overriding Sensio FrameworkExtraBundle template guesser

I am trying to override the standard template guesser ( located in Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Templating; ) becouse I want to use annotations to set the view but need to change the logic of how the actual view file is chosen.
I have seen this: https://github.com/elnur/ElnurTemplateGuesserBundle
but I was wondering if there is a way to just override the service in configuration.
I tried setting:
services:
sensio_framework_extra.view.guesser:
class: myCompany\myBundle\Templating\TemplateGuesser
but I get:
ContextErrorException: Catchable Fatal Error:
Argument 1 passed to Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Templating\TemplateGuesser::__construct()
must implement interface Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelInterface, none given
Am I supposed to set an argument in the service config setting? But how do I reference the HttpKernel?
Or am I missing something?
TIA.
You can inject the kernel the same way the as the original TemplateGuesser. The name of the Kernel service is just simply kernel.
services:
sensio_framework_extra.view.guesser:
class: myCompany\myBundle\Templating\TemplateGuesser
arguments: [ "#kernel" ]
To see a full list of services in the container, run
$ php app/console container:debug
Of which you'll see the kernel listed as one of them.

How to use a different console configuration in Symfony

I followed the guideline on how to expose a semantic configuration for a bundle and configured it in my app/config.yml (through parameters.yml).
My bundle also contains some console commands. Right now this command either uses the dev or prod configuration, which is fine.
But how can I make the console commands use an additional configuration file that sets some things different than in config.yml?
E.g.
#app/config.yml
imports:
- { resource: parameters.yml }
foo:
view_mode: %view_mode%
and
#app/parameters.yml
parameters:
view_mode: 1
How can I make it e.g. use a different parameters.yml
#app/parameters_console.yml
parameters:
view_mode: 2
when called through the console? A new environment is not what I want here.
I think you need to create a custom environement
You just have to create a config_console.yml in your app/config folder and override the configuration you need.
imports:
- { resource: config_dev.yml }
foo:
view_mode: 2
Then in your application, just run
php app/console --env=console
This will run your application with default configuration of dev and with foo.view_mode = 2
You may want to note that it will create a new cache folder named console
