Symfony2 JMSSecurityBundle #secure pass object obtained with #ParamConverter - symfony

Is possible pass a object obtained with paramconvert in #secure annotation ?
This is my code:
/**
* #ParamConverter("construction", class="CliConsCoreBundle:Construction", options={"repository_method" = "findWithJoins"})
* #Secure(roles="ROLE_EXTRANET", options={"construction"})
* #Template
*/
public function showAction(Request $request, Construction $construction)
{ ... }
I want have $construction in security voter, is possible?
If I do without annotations then works.
Thanks

The #Secure annotation receives an array of strings that represents the roles that the active user has to have for the controller to be executed.
What do you exactly want to do? I can't understand the intention of your code

defines manually routes using Symfony2

I've set up my entities, now I want to
use the doctrine:generate:crud, during this command it asks what route
prefix I would like. I would expect that this means that the routes
would automatically be generate, this is not happening. So I need to
know if it is supposed to generate the routes, or if I'm supposed to
create them all manually? If it is the case that I need to generate
them manually is there a route class, to define all the routes for the
CRUD operations?
When you generate a CRUD with Symfony, it will ask you to choose a configuration format.
By default, it's annotation. If you haven't changed it, then your routes are in the entity controller, as annotation.
In the example below, you can see the #Route anotation, which is how to define the URL in anotation.
/**
* Finds and displays a user entity.
*
* #Route("/user/{id}", name="user_show")
* #Method("GET")
*
* #param User $user
* #return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response
*/
public function showAction(User $user) {
$deleteForm=$this->createDeleteForm($user);
return $this->render('security/show.html.twig', array(
'security'=>$user,
'delete_form'=>$deleteForm->createView(),
));
}
In the end, it's not that "It didn't happen", it's simply and most likely that you haven't read some doc, and didn't knew about it... ;)

How to document a controller in symfony?

I'm trying to document my project. I want to document my controller. Before my Action I have:
/**
* Description: xxx
* #param parameters of my function Action
* #return views of the action
*/
The return value here will show:
Why?
Thanks
EDIT:
A standard controller:
public function myControllerAction(Request $request) {
return $this->render('AppBundle:Default:index.html.twig');
}
The reason is that the first word after #return is considered the type of the returned data according to the official phpDocumentor docs:
#return datatype description
#return datatype1|datatype2 description
The #return annotation expects the data type as a first argument, before the description. In your case you've specified the data type as views which hasn't been included with a use statement, so PHP assumes it belongs to the current namespace and you get \AppBundle\Controllers\views. The return type of a controller must be a Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response. So you want:
#return \Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response description
or if you already have a use statement for Response:
#return Response description
In some cases you might want to be more specific if you are always returning a specific subclass of response, like:
BinaryFileResponse
JsonResponse
RedirectResponse
StreamedResponse

Symfony Newb Routing Issue

I have just started using Symfony and I am having a routing problem. Here is the routing fromt the controller:
/**
* #Route("/social/{name}/", name="_speed1")
* #Route("/social/drivers/")
* #Route("/social/drivers/{name}/", name="_driver")
* #Route("/social/", name="_speed")
* #Template()
*/
public function unlimitedAction()
{
If I go to speed/social/ or speed/social/bob or speed/social/drivers/ or speed/social/drivers/bob all of those pages render with no problem. However I need the name being passed in so I changed
public function unlimitedAction()
{
to
public function unlimitedAction($name)
{
If I go to speed/social/drivers/ or speed/social/drivers/bob it returns fine. However, if I go to speed/social/ then I get the following error:
Controller "MyBundle\Controller\DefaultController::unlimitedAction()"
requires that you provide a value for the "$name" argument (because there is
no default value or because there is a non optional argument after this one).
I can't understand why it works for one route but not the other.
So my question is, how can I acheive my routing so that I can go to:
speed/social/
speed/social/drivers/
speed/social/drivers/bob
And be able to pass the variable to the action without error.
Thanks!
To answer your question: you have to provide a default value for name parameter, for each route without the {name} parameter in the url. I can't test it right now and I can't remember the syntax when using annotations, but should be something like this:
/**
* #Route("/social/{name}/", name="_speed1", defaults={"name"=null})
* #Route("/social/drivers/{name}/", name="_driver", defaults={"name"=null})
* #Template()
*/
public function unlimitedAction($name)
{
}
This way you should be able to call /social/ and /social/foo as well as /social/drivers/ and /social/drivers/foo.
But, really, this is not the right way to go. Just define more actions, each binded to a single route:
/**
* #Route("/social", name="social_index")
* #Template()
*/
public function socialIndexAction() { } // /social
/**
* #Route("/social/{name}", name="social_show")
* #Template()
*/
public function socialShowAction($name) { } // /social/foo
As a general rule, each method (each action) should be focused to do just one thing and should be as short as possible. Use services and make your controllers do what they are supposed to do: understand user input, call services and show views.

Symfony/Doctrine 2 - Use config parameter in Entity

I have a tree of Employee objects (they are in a tree-like hierarchy, with everyone having one leader, and all leaders having more employees). All the Employees have a integer parameter called units.
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="employees")
*/
class Employee
{
/**
* #ORM\Id
* #ORM\Column(strategy="AUTO")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* #ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="Employee", mappedBy="leader")
*/
protected $employees;
/**
* #ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity("Employee", inversedBy="employees")
*/
protected $leader;
}
I need to get all the employees, who have at most N units, where N is defined in config.yml. At first, I was trying to push $configContainer into $GLOBALS, and use it in ArrayCollection::filter()'s Closure. Now I found a method, so I can use variables in the Closure:
public function getBestEmployees(&$configContainer)
{
return $this->getAllEmployees()->filter(
function bestEmployees($employee) use ($configContainer)
{
return ($employee->getUnits() >= $configContainer->getParameter('best_unit_count'));
}
);
}
Now I wonder if there is any other way to access the configuration parameters from an Entity, or do I really have to pass the whole configContainer as a reference? Or am I doing it totally wrong?
You shouldn't be accessing the service container at all inside entities. The value itself should be passed instead
public function getBestEmployees($bestUnitCount)
{
return $this->getAllEmployees()->filter(function ($employee) use ($bestUnitCount) {
return $employee->getUnits()->count() >= $bestUnitCount;
});
}
Of course, we haven't actually solved the problem yet: the parameter still needs to be fetched from the container somewhere. If this method gets invoked mostly in controller actions, I wouldn't bother doing any extra work to make things cleaner and would pass the container parameter straight in the controller action.
However, should there be a need to get the best employees in a Twig template, for example, it would be nice if it wouldn't be necessary to pass the parameter. One possibility would be using a setter method and passing the parameter down beforehand to each and every entity that gets retrieved from the database. You could do this either in repositories or entitiy managers. The most advanced solution would be to listen to the postLoad event and pass the parameter in an event listener.

Using convention over configuration in Symfony2 controllers/views

I have the following Symfony controller:
/**
* Says thanks to the user for signing up.
*
* #Route("/thanks", name="user")
* #Template()
*/
public function thanksAction()
{
return $this->render('VNNPressboxBundle:User:thanks.html.twig');
}
If I don't include the return statement, I get an error saying the controller must return a response. It's interesting that I have to manually specify which template my action needs to use, considering Symfony could easily figure that out based on my controller and action. Plus that's how Symfony 1.x worked.
I have to imagine that I'm missing something. It doesn't seem like they would apply the convention over configuration concept in Symfony 1.x and then abandon it in Symfony >= 2.0.
Is it possible to tell Symfony to figure out which template to use based on my controller and action, and if so, how?
You have to return something. You're using #Template annotation so you don't have to render the response but you still have to return an array of parameters for the template (in your case empty):
use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Template;
/**
* Says thanks to the user for signing up.
*
* #Route("/thanks", name="user")
* #Template()
*/
public function thanksAction()
{
return array();
}
Read more on #Template annotation in the docs: http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/SensioFrameworkExtraBundle/annotations/view.html
P.S. Don't compare symfony 1.x to Symfony 2.x. These are two different frameworks. Symfony 2 favors being explicit over magic.
Return an array. In your case it'll be an empty array, but normally you would fill it with variables you want to pass to a template.
