.. index:: single: Using Parameters within a Dependency Injection Class
You have seen how to use configuration parameters within
:ref:`Symfony service containers <service-container-parameters>`.
There are special cases such as when you want, for instance, to use the
%kernel.debug%
parameter to make the services in your bundle enter
debug mode. For this case there is more work to do in order
to make the system understand the parameter value. By default,
your parameter %kernel.debug%
will be treated as a
simple string. Consider the following example:
// inside Configuration class $rootNode ->children() ->booleanNode('logging')->defaultValue('%kernel.debug%')->end() // ... ->end() ; // inside the Extension class $config = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs); var_dump($config['logging']);
Now, examine the results to see this closely:
.. configuration-block:: .. code-block:: yaml my_bundle: logging: true # true, as expected my_bundle: logging: '%kernel.debug%' # true/false (depends on 2nd parameter of AppKernel), # as expected, because %kernel.debug% inside configuration # gets evaluated before being passed to the extension my_bundle: ~ # passes the string "%kernel.debug%". # Which is always considered as true. # The Configurator does not know anything about # "%kernel.debug%" being a parameter. .. code-block:: xml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <container xmlns="http://symfony.com/schema/dic/services" xmlns:my-bundle="http://example.org/schema/dic/my_bundle"> <my-bundle:config logging="true" /> <!-- true, as expected --> <my-bundle:config logging="%kernel.debug%" /> <!-- true/false (depends on 2nd parameter of AppKernel), as expected, because %kernel.debug% inside configuration gets evaluated before being passed to the extension --> <my-bundle:config /> <!-- passes the string "%kernel.debug%". Which is always considered as true. The Configurator does not know anything about "%kernel.debug%" being a parameter. --> </container> .. code-block:: php $container->loadFromExtension('my_bundle', array( 'logging' => true, // true, as expected ) ); $container->loadFromExtension('my_bundle', array( 'logging' => "%kernel.debug%", // true/false (depends on 2nd parameter of AppKernel), // as expected, because %kernel.debug% inside configuration // gets evaluated before being passed to the extension ) ); $container->loadFromExtension('my_bundle'); // passes the string "%kernel.debug%". // Which is always considered as true. // The Configurator does not know anything about // "%kernel.debug%" being a parameter.
In order to support this use case, the Configuration
class has to
be injected with this parameter via the extension as follows:
namespace AppBundle\DependencyInjection; use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\Builder\TreeBuilder; use Symfony\Component\Config\Definition\ConfigurationInterface; class Configuration implements ConfigurationInterface { private $debug; public function __construct($debug) { $this->debug = (bool) $debug; } public function getConfigTreeBuilder() { $treeBuilder = new TreeBuilder(); $rootNode = $treeBuilder->root('my_bundle'); $rootNode ->children() // ... ->booleanNode('logging')->defaultValue($this->debug)->end() // ... ->end() ; return $treeBuilder; } }
And set it in the constructor of Configuration
via the Extension
class:
namespace AppBundle\DependencyInjection; use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder; use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\DependencyInjection\Extension; class AppExtension extends Extension { // ... public function getConfiguration(array $config, ContainerBuilder $container) { return new Configuration($container->getParameter('kernel.debug')); } }
Setting the Default in the Extension
There are some instances of %kernel.debug%
usage within a Configurator
class in TwigBundle and AsseticBundle. However this is because the default
parameter value is set by the Extension class. For example in AsseticBundle,
you can find:
$container->setParameter('assetic.debug', $config['debug']);
The string %kernel.debug%
passed here as an argument handles the
interpreting job to the container which in turn does the evaluation.
Both ways accomplish similar goals. AsseticBundle will not use
%kernel.debug%
but rather the new %assetic.debug%
parameter.
