Creating a Reusable (& Amazing) Symfony Bundle

Thanks! That worked perfect.

hey @Steve Johnson

I think you should look at this link https://symfony.com/doc/cur... it will be better to use this method to modify twig configuration from your custom bundle!

Cheers!

What method should be used to load global twig variables from a 4.2 symfony bundle?

I would like to add some twig globals to my bundle using src/Resources/config/twig.yaml.

Here is what my twig.yml file looks like:

twig:
globals:
my_name: 'Jane Doe'

In my DependencyInjection Extension file I include:

$loader = new YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__.'/../Resources/config'));
$loader->load('services.yaml');
$loader->load('twig.yaml');

I get the following error:

There is no extension able to load the configuration for "twig" (in src/DependencyInjection/../Resources/config/twig.yaml).
Looked for namespace "twig", found none

I try from my services.yaml file

imports:
- { resource: twig.yaml }

services:...

I get the same error.

Thanks!

Hey Vinoth Kumar S!

Ah, an excellent topic! And one that has a very simple answer:

1) Put you template files in a Resources/views directory in your bundle - e.g. Resources/views/admin/index.html.twig
2) When rendering, refer to them with a special "@BundleName" syntax... where BundleName is the name of your bundle, but without the last word Bundle. For example, if you want to render the above template from your SymfonyCastsHelloWorldBundle, you would use:

return $this->render('@SymfonyCastsHelloWorld/admin/index.html.twig');

That will work, and you will be able to override any templates in your project by following the normal "override mechanism" - https://symfony.com/doc/cur...

I hope that helps!

Cheers!

Hi! This tutorial is awesome to quickly setting up a custom bundle. It will be more helpful if you explained something about twig file rendering from the custom bundle.

Hey Rafael!

Bah! Unfortunately, that's the one thing that I did *not* cover in this tutorial.... in part because it's super tricky to record properly. But if you have any questions, let us know. My advice is this: your bundle may NOT need a recipe at all - many do not. You only need a recipe if your bundle requires some configuration or other files (e.g. the Twig recipe creates a templates/ directory). A recipe is basically "automating" the README. So if your README says "Do X, then create file Y", these are great things for the recipe :). And mostly, recipes are quite simple: you include files that you would like copied into the user's project.

Cheers!

Hey, Is it going to cover how to create and publish sf flex recipe for this custom bundle? it would be nice!

Hi Virginie,

Really? I could find this course by "Symfony Bundle" keyword, see https://knpuniversity.com/s... . I wonder what keywords you searched for. Well, yes, Symfony 4 is bundle-less, but it means you should avoid creating bundles in the src/ folder of your project, but third-party bundles are still valid. And this screencast is not about creating project bundles but third-party bundles. In shorts, you create a bundle only when you need to share some code between projects. And this course probably will be in the Symfony 4 track because, well, we're using Symfony components v4.0 in this course. But most of the information we show in this course is valid for Symfony 3 as well, of course, if we're talking about sharable third-party bundles.

Cheers!

Hi !
I see that this course is currently in progress, and I wonder, will it be implemented into the SF3 or 4 Track ? I know that there are no more bundle into SF4, so, does it concern SF3 exclusively ?
Also, I must say that I can't find this course into your searching tool. I only found it while going through the "Courses updates" through my profile.
