I am looking to get some help on how to add a 3rd party bundle to an existing service controller, specifically KnpSnappyBundle https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpSnappyBundle.
The bundle was installed with composer, and registerBundles() function in app/AppKernel.php was updated.
I am having trouble with passing the bundle to a service controller, via its constructor.
1: Unsure how to figure out the path to use
--SomeController.php file--
...
use Symfony\Component\???\???
class FormDataController
{
...
private $pdf;
2: Also unsure how to figure out what the object type is named.
public function __construct(..., KnpSnappyBundle? $pdf )
{
...
$this->pdf= $pdf;
return $this;
}
3: Then in the servives.yml file i add the following argument to the correct controller
- "#knp_snappy.pdf"
After doing the above, the controller should be able to do the following to access the bundles functions, correct?
$this->pdf->...
Why are you doing this?
Quote:
The bundle registers two services:
the knp_snappy.image service allows you to generate images;
the knp_snappy.pdf service allows you to generate pdf files.
Just access them like this (if you use standard Symfony controller):
$this->get('knp_snappy.pdf')->...;
$this->get('knp_snappy.image')->...;
UPDATE:
If you are injecting knp_snappy.pdf service into your custom service, you should use Knp\Bundle\SnappyBundle\Snappy\LoggableGenerator class.
--SomeController.php file--
...
use Knp\Bundle\SnappyBundle\Snappy\LoggableGenerator;
class FormDataController
{
// ... //
private $pdf;
public function __construct(..., LoggableGenerator $pdf )
{
...
$this->pdf = $pdf;
return $this;
}
// ... //
}
When you run ./app/console container:debug command, it lists all available services and corresponding classes. Very helpful.

I am a newbie in Symfony but I know how to use OOP in PHP.
I try (with frustration) to couple custom parameters with Symfony configs by using Doctrine entities.
To solve the problem I used for e.g. the answer from Michael Sivolobov: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28726681/2114615 and other sources.
My solution:
Step 1: Create new package in config folder
-> config
-> packages
-> project
-> services.yaml
-> project
-> src
-> ParameterLoaderBundle.php
-> DependencyInjection
-> Compiler
-> ParameterLoaderPass.php
Step 2: Import the new resource
# config/services.yaml
...
imports:
- { resource: 'packages/project/config/services.yaml' }
...
Step 3: Package coding
# packages/project/config/services.yaml
services:
Project\:
resource: "../src"
<?php
namespace Project;
use Project\DependencyInjection\Compiler\ParameterLoaderPass;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Compiler\PassConfig;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
class ParameterLoaderBundle extends Bundle
{
public function build(ContainerBuilder $container)
{
parent::build($container);
$container->addCompilerPass(new ParameterLoaderPass(), PassConfig::TYPE_AFTER_REMOVING);
}
}
<?php
namespace Project\DependencyInjection\Compiler;
use App\Entity\SettingCategory;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Compiler\CompilerPassInterface;
use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
class ParameterLoaderPass implements CompilerPassInterface
{
public function process(ContainerBuilder $container)
{
$em = $container->get('doctrine.orm.default_entity_manager');
$setting = $em->getRepository(SettingCategory::class)->findAll();
$container->setParameter('test', $setting);
}
}
After at all I test the new Parameter in my API controller:
$this->getParameter('Test');
But the following error message appears:
The parameter \"test\" must be defined.
Couple of things going on here. First off, loading config from a database is very unusual in Symfony so it is not surprising that you are having difficulty. Secondly, your process code is never getting called. Part of debugging is making sure that code that you expect to be called is in fact being called. Third, you really got off on a tangent with attempting to add a bundle under config. Way back in Symfony 2 there used to be more bundle related stuff under app/config and it may be that you discovered some old articles and misunderstood them.
But, the big problem here is that Symfony has what is known as a 'compile' phase which basically processes all the configuration and caches it. Hence the CompilerPassInterface. Unfortunately, services themselves are not available during the compile phase. They simply don't exist yet so no entity manager. You need to open your own database connection if you really want to load config from a database. You will want to use just a database connection object and not the entity manager since part of the compile phase is to process the entities themselves.
So get rid of all your code and just adjust your Kernel class:
# src/Kernel.php
class Kernel extends BaseKernel implements CompilerPassInterface
{
use MicroKernelTrait;
public function process(ContainerBuilder $container)
{
$url = $_ENV['DATABASE_URL'];
$conn = DriverManager::getConnection(['url' => $url]);
$settings = $conn->executeQuery('SELECT * FROM settings')->fetchAllAssociative();
$container->setParameter('test',$settings);
}
And be aware that even if you get all this working, you will need to manually rebuild the Symfony cache after updating your settings table. It is not going to be automatic. You really might consider taking a completely different approach.
I can't read a parameter from parameters.yml in my controller.
I want to do this:
//My Controller
class ExampleController extends Controller
{
function someMethod($argument)
{
dump($this->getParameter('free_proxy'));die();
and in parameters.yml I got:
parameters:
free_proxy: "http://xxx:8080"
I get an error: Call to a member function getParameter() on null
I've tested some solutions like adding some services and using get and stuff but nothing works.
EDIT: also, I tried this:
services:
_defaults:
autowire: true
autoconfigure: true
public: false
bind:
$freeProxy: '%free_proxy%'
Then using:
$this->container->getParameter('free_proxy');
But I got an error: Unused binding "$freeProxy" in service...
So there are two mysteries here. First is why is the container not being injected which in turn causes getParameter to fail. And second, why does bind generate that unused binding error.
You did not show your routing but I suspect that somewhere along the line you actually have:
$exampleController = new ExampleController();
If so then this explains why getParameter is failing. You really need to let Symfony create the controller based on the route. Otherwise the container is not injected and other controller magic is skipped.
I installed a fresh 3.4 app with the old directory structure and added a parameter
composer create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition s34
# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
free_proxy: "http://xxx:8080"
I then tweaked the default controller using the default route annotation:
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
/**
* #Route("/", name="homepage")
*/
public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
$freeProxy = $this->getParameter('free_proxy');
// replace this example code with whatever you need
return $this->render('default/index.html.twig', [
'base_dir' => realpath($this->getParameter('kernel.project_dir')).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$freeProxy,
]);
}
}
And everything worked as expected. The Symfony request handler takes care of injecting the container and thus gives you access to the parameters. If you cannot get this working then please update your question with your routing information.
I then took a look at the bind issue. You really want to inject these parameters instead of pulling them. I updated services.yml
# app/config/services.yml
services:
bind:
$freeProxy: '%free_proxy%'
And started getting those unused binding errors. It turns out that bind does not work for action injection. Not really sure why. I don't use it much but I really would have expected that just adding $freeProxy to your action method would work. In any event, here is a working example of the proper way to do things.
class ExampleController extends Controller
{
private $freeProxy;
public function __construct($freeProxy)
{
$this->freeProxy = $freeProxy;
}
/**
* #Route("/example", name="example")
*/
function someMethod()
{
dump($this->freeProxy);
dump($this->getParameter('free_proxy'));die();
}
}
I then went to a fresh 4.2 project and tried action injection:
class IndexController extends AbstractController
{
public function index($freeProxy)
{
return new Response("Index $freeProxy");
}
}
Action injection works as expected for 4.2 but not 3.4. Constructor injection works fine in either version.
documentation show like this :
parameters.yml :
parameters:
mailer.transport: sendmail
to set :
$container->setParameter('mailer.transport', 'sendmail');
to get :
$container->getParameter('mailer.transport');
After watching the Laravell Nova presentation I wanted to create similar functionality to Lenses in my own app.
I have the following concepts:
Entity: Standard Doctrine Entity
Resource: A class that describes a resource including the target entity and available lenses.
Lens: Has an method apply(Request $request, QueryBuilder $qb) that allow you to modify the QueryBuilder based on the Request.
The goal is to define all Lenses as a service and then somehow assign them to a Resource. This is the problem I'm trying to solve.
Attempt 1: Directly inject the Lenses into the resource
ProjectResource.php
<?php
class ProjectResource
{
protected $lenses = [];
public function __construct(
ProjectRepository $repository,
LensInterface $activeProjectLens,
LensInterface $starredProjectLens
) {
$this->lenses = [
$activeProjectLens,
$starredProjectLens
];
}
public function getLenses() {
return $this->lenses;
}
}
The downside of this is that each Lens service is instantiated and needs to be defined manually
Attempt 2: Inject tagged Lenses into the resource
In my services.yaml tag the services and assign them as an argument to the resource:
App\Lens\ActiveProjectLens:
tags: ['resource.project.lens']
App\Lens\StarredProjectLens:
tags: ['resource.project.lens']
App\Resource\ProjectResource:
arguments:
$lenses: !tagged resource.project.lens
ProjectResource.php
<?php
class ProjectResource
{
protected $lenses = [];
public function __construct(
ProjectRepository $repository,
iterable $lenses
) {
$this->lenses = $lenses;
}
public function getLenses() {
return $this->lenses;
}
}
The downside of this approach is every Lens service and Resource must be tagged and cannot be an auto-configured service.
**Attempt 3: Add a compiler pass **
I attempted to add the process() method to the Kernel but I didn't get too far with that.
My goal is to define a list of services somehow in the Resource and have them injected. Is there any established pattern for this?
Your approach with the tags seems good. Symfony provides a way to automatically add tags to classes that implement a certain interface: Interface-based service configuration.
To use that you have to do the following:
If you don't already have one, create an interface (e.g. App\Lens\LensInterface) and let your lens classes implement the interface.
In your services.yaml file add this config:
services:
// ...
_instanceof:
App\Lens\LensInterface:
tags: ['resource.project.lens']
App\Resource\ProjectResource:
arguments:
$lenses: [!tagged resource.project.lens]
// ...
Then every class implementing your LensInterface would be injected into the ProjectResource without having to explicitly configure every single lens.
I'm developing a bundle who has a dependency on another one.
In order to handle the case that the base bundle has not been installed I'll like to perform a "bundle_exists()" function inside a controller.
The question is: How can I have a list of installed bundles or How can I check for the name (eventually also the version) of a bundle.
Thanks.
In addition to #Rooneyl's answer:
The best place to do such a check is inside your DI extension (e.g. AcmeDemoExtension). This is executed once the container is build and dumped to cache. There is no need to check such thing on each request (the container doesn't change while it's cached anyway), it'll only slow down your cache.
// ...
class AcmeDemoExtension extends Extension
{
public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
{
$bundles = $container->getParameter('bundles');
if (!isset($bundles['YourDependentBundle'])) {
throw new \InvalidArgumentException(
'The bundle ... needs to be registered in order to use AcmeDemoBundle.'
);
}
}
}
Your class needs to have access to the container object (either by extending or DI).
Then you can do;
$this->container->getParameter('kernel.bundles');
This will give you a list of bundles installed.
Update;
If you are in a controller that extends the Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller or in a command class that extends Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Command\ContainerAwareCommand, you can just get the parameter.
$this->getParameter('kernel.bundles').
Else #Wouter J's answer is your best answer.
You can get a list of all Bundles from the Kernel like this:
public function indexAction ()
{
$arrBundles = $this->get("kernel")->getBundles();
if (!array_key_exists("MyBundle", $arrBundles))
{
// bundle not found
}
}
From Andrey at this question: How do I get a list of bundles in symfony2?
If you want to call a non static method of registered bundle object (not class) then you can do the following:
$kernel = $this->container->get('kernel');
$bundles = $kernel->getBundles();
$bundles['YourBundleName']->someMethod();
Where 'YourBundleName' is the name of your bundle, which you can get by calling from console:
php app/console config:dump-reference
I am trying to create service in symfony2 which will verify if session contains certain information and if not redirect the user to another controller. I want this piece of code to work as a service as I will be using it in many controllers.
I have problem as manual on Symfony2 book does not provide information how service file should look like. Should it be a normal php class?
Please find below dump of my files with information on error that I receive.
In \AppBundle\Services I create file my_isbookchosencheck.php containing:
<?php
namespace AppBundle\my_isbookchosencheck;
class my_isbookchosencheck
{
public function __construct();
{
$session = new Session();
$session->getFlashBag()->add('msg', 'No book choosen. Redirected to proper form');
if(!$session->get("App_Books_Chosen_Lp")) return new RedirectResponse($this->generateUrl('app_listbooks'));
}
}
My service.yml:
my_isbookchosencheck:
class: AppBundle\Services\my_isbookchosencheck
My conntroller file:
/**
* This code is aimed at checking if the book is choseen and therefore whether any further works may be carried out
*/
$checker = $this->get('my_isbookchosencheck');
Error:
FileLoaderLoadException in FileLoader.php line 125: There is no extension able to load the configuration for "my_isbookchosencheck" (in C:/wamp/www/symfony_learn/app/config\services.yml). Looked for namespace "my_isbookchosencheck", found "framework", "security", "twig", "monolog", "swiftmailer", "assetic", "doctrine", "sensio_framework_extra", "fos_user", "knp_paginator", "genemu_form", "debug", "acme_demo", "web_profiler", "sensio_distribution" in C:/wamp/www/symfony_learn/app/config\services.yml (which is being imported from "C:/wamp/www/symfony_learn/app/config\config.yml").
There are few mistakes that you made, which I am going to explain in short, and I will give you an example of the service you want to create.
You created your service in AppBundle\Services, yet your namespace is registered differently - namespace AppBundle\Services\my_isbookchosencheck;. It should be namespace AppBundle\Services;. I would also advise you to use singular names when creating directories - in this case Service would be better, instead of Services.
You're using your __constructor directly to apply some logic and return the result of it. Better way would be to create a custom method, which could be accessed when necessary.
You're creating new instance of Session which means that you wont be able to access anything that was previously added and stored in session. The right way here, would be to inject RequestStack which holds the current Request and get the session from there.
I believe you also registered your service wrong. In your services.yml file, it should be under services: option. This is why you got the error you pasted.
So, let's see how your service should like.
services.yml
services:
book_service:
class: AppBundle\Service\BookService
arguments:
- #request_stack
- #router
BookService.php
namespace AppBundle\Service;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\RouterInterface;
class BookService {
/* #var $request Request */
private $request;
/* #var $router RouterInterface */
private $router;
public function __construct(RequestStack $requestStack, RouterInterface $router) {
$this->request = $requestStack->getCurrentRequest();
$this->router = $router;
}
public function isBookChoosen() {
$session = $this->request->getSession();
// Now you can access session the proper way.
// If anything was added in session from your controller
// you can access it here as well.
// Apply your logic here and use $this->router->generate()
}
}
Now in your controller you can simply use it like this:
$this->get('book_service')->isBookChoosen()
Well this is a short example, but I hope you got the idea.
try
services:
my_isbookchosencheck:
class: AppBundle\Services\my_isbookchosencheck
in your services.yml, and check that you use the correct namespaces.
Your Class is fine and it should work, however may i suggest that you use
symfony2 session service instead of creating the session object yourself, you can pass it as a constructor argument:
<?php
// namespace edited
namespace AppBundle\Services;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Session;
class my_isbookchosencheck
{
public function __construct(Session $session);
{
$session->getFlashBag()->add('msg', 'No book choosen. Redirected to proper form');
if(!$session->get("App_Books_Chosen_Lp")) return new RedirectResponse($this->generateUrl('app_listbooks'));
}
}
and then edit your services.yml accordingly, so the service container will inject the session object:
services:
my_isbookchosencheck:
class: AppBundle\Services\my_isbookchosencheck
arguments: [#session]
Also check out his question on so:
How do you access a users session from a service in Symfony2?
Services are just regular PHP classes, nothing special. But you must register it in order to be recognized by the system. Here are the steps how you do it,
Create a regular PHP class (you can inject other services if it requires)
namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Service;
class MyService
{
private $session;
public function _construct(SessionInterface $session /* here we're injecting the session service which implements the SessionInterface */)
{
$this->session = $session;
}
// other methods go here, which holds the business logic of this class
}
ok, we created a class, we need to register it to be able to use it by service container, here how you do it:
the simplest way is to put it into config.yml file, like this:
services:
my_service:
class: Acme\DemoBundle\Service\MyService
arguments:
- #session
or, another way, is to create a file (e.g. services.yml, may be in config folder), and import it inside the config.yml file (the content of the file is the same as the first way):
imports:
- { resource: services.yml }
or, you can create a services.yml(the content of the file is the same as the first way) file inside you bundle's Resources folder, specify it under the load method of your Extension class (under the DependencyInjection folder), (this way requires some special directory and file structure, read about it in the doc):
class AcmeDemoExtension extends Extension
{
public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container)
{
$loader = new YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__ . '/../Resources'));
$loader->load('services.yml');
}
}
In you case, you're not registering your service, the service container just couldn't find it. Register it by one of the above ways.
