How to Pass Extra Information from a Route to a Controller
Parameters inside the defaults collection don't necessarily have to
match a placeholder in the route path. In fact, you can use the
defaults array to specify extra parameters that will then be accessible as
arguments to your controller:
- YAML
- XML
- PHP
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
# app/config/routing.yml
blog:
path: /blog/{page}
defaults:
_controller: AppBundle:Blog:index
page: 1
title: "Hello world!"Now, you can access this extra parameter in your controller:
1 2 3 4
public function indexAction($page, $title)
{
// ...
}As you can see, the $title variable was never defined inside the route path,
but you can still access its value from inside your controller.
