Dynamic routing

The EnhavoRoutingBundle is used to add optional dynamic routing for the resources, so user are able to enter their own url. If you want to generate a url path and the static routing can't fit your needs (e.g. nested paths) you may go for dynamic routing as well.

This following example will show you how to add a url field to your entity and how you map it to a controller action.

Relation

First we need to tell our application that an entity has a oneToOne relation to a route.

yaml
oneToOne:
    route:
        cascade: ['persist', 'refresh', 'remove']
        targetEntity: Enhavo\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Model\RouteInterface
        joinColumn:
            onDelete: CASCADE

Or if you use annotations

php
/**
 * @var RouteInterface
 *
 * @ORM\OneToOne (targetEntity="Enhavo\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Model\RouteInterface", cascade={"persist", "remove", "refresh"})
 * @ORM\JoinColumn (onDelete="CASCADE")
 */
private $route;

Implement the Routeable interface for your class.

php
<?php

use Enhavo\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Model\Routeable;
use Enhavo\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Model\RouteInterface;

class Page implements Routeable
{

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

    /**
     * @return RouteInterface
     */
    public function getRoute()
    {
        return $this->route;
    }

    /**
     * @param RouteInterface $route
     */
    public function setRoute(RouteInterface $route)
    {
        $this->route = $route;
    }

    //...
}

Form

To add an url field in our form we just use the RouteType.

php
<?php

use Enhavo\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Form\Type\RouteType;

// ...

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
    $builder->add('route', RouteType::class);

    // ...
}

If you render your form manually, you shouln't forget to add it in your template file.

twig
{{ form_row(form.route) }}

If you use the form in the enhavo admin, no further steps are required, because enhavo will take care to call the Generator and routines to update the route properly.

Controller

And last but not least, we have to define our controller, and add some mapping information to the SymfonyCMF RoutingBundle which is used by the EnhavoRoutingBundle. The mapping contains the class name of our entity and the controller action which should be called.

yaml
cmf_routing:
    dynamic:
        controllers_by_class:
            App\Entity\Page: App\Controller\PageController:showAction

Add the action to your controller. The parameter must named $contentDocument and will be your entity.

php
<?php

class PageController
{
    public function showAction(Page $contentDocument)
    {
        return $this->render('page/show.html.twig', [
            'page' => $contentDocument
        ]);
    }
}

Add controller information to route

Like in static routes, it is also possible to save the linked controller to the route itself. You can write a Generator and store the information

php
$page->getRoute()->setDefaults([
    '_controller' => 'App\Controller\PageController:showAction'
])
