RouteBundle

The RouteBundle provides the feature of managing website-routes for custom-entities. These routes will be generated by calling the RouteManager which uses a configurable schema for creating the route-path.

Every Entity can be combined with a route. You only have to call the create method of the service sulu_route.manager.route_manager with an entity implementing the RoutableInterface.

The update method will update the route-path with the configured schema and hold “history” (301 redirects) routes for the old routes.

To resolve the route on request you have to provide a RouteDefaultsProvider which defines the controller and attributes of the route.

Example

This example will create a simple example-entity which will be available on the website with an own route.

Entity

First extend your entity with the propertie’s id, locale and a new many-to-one relation route:

reciepe.orm.xml:

...

<field name="id" type="int"/>
<field name="locale" type="string" length="5"/>

<many-to-one field="route" target-entity="Sulu\Bundle\RouteBundle\Entity\Route">
    <cascade>
        <cascade-all/>
    </cascade>
    <join-column name="idRoutes" referenced-column-name="id" nullable="true" on-delete="SET NULL"/>
</many-to-one>

Reciepe.php:

namespace AppBundle\Entity;

use Sulu\Bundle\RouteBundle\Model\RoutableInterface;
use Sulu\Bundle\RouteBundle\Model\RouteInterface;

class Recipe implements RoutableInterface
{
    /**
     * @var string
     */
    private $title;

    /**
     * @var RouteInterface
     */
    private $route;

    public function getTitle() { ... }

    public function setTitle() { ... }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getId() { ... }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getLocale() { ... }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function setRoute(RouteInterface $route) { ... }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function getRoute() { ... }
}

Route-Schema

Configure the route-schema in the file app/config/config.yml:

sulu_route:
    mappings:
        AppBundle\Entity\Recipe:
            generator: schema
            options:
                route_schema: /{translator.trans('recipe')}/{object.getTitle()}

Note

You can use the translator in the schema to create translated routes.

RecipeController

namespace AppBundle\Controller;

use AppBundle\Entity\Recipe;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

class RecipeController extends Controller
{
    public function indexAction(Recipe $recipe)
    {
        return $this->render('AppBundle:website:recipe.html.twig', ['recipe' => $recipe]);
    }
}

RouteDefaultsProvider

namespace AppBundle\Routing;

use AppBundle\Entity\Recipe;
use AppBundle\Entity\RecipeRepository;
use Sulu\Bundle\RouteBundle\Routing\Defaults\RouteDefaultsProviderInterface;

class RecipeRouteDefaultProvider implements RouteDefaultsProviderInterface
{
    protected $recipeRepository;

    public function __construct(RecipeRepository $recipeRepository)
    {
        $this->recipeRepository = $recipeRepository;
    }

    public function getByEntity($entityClass, $id, $locale, $object = null)
    {
        return [
            '_controller' => 'AppBundle:Recipe:index',
            'recipe' => $object ?: $this->recipeRepository->find($id, $locale),
        ];
    }

    public function isPublished($entityClass, $id, $locale)
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function supports($entityClass)
    {
        return $entityClass === Recipe::class;
    }
}

Register this class as a service with the tag <tag name=”sulu_route.defaults_provider”/>.

After that the entity is ready to get a route. To create a route for the new entities simple call the save method of the service sulu_route.manager.route_manager.

Note

To update already existing entities you can run the command bin/console sulu:route:update AppBundle:Recipe which updates or creates the route for all the entities of this type.
