How to Retrieve the Request from the Service Container
Whenever you need to access the current request in a service, you can either
add it as an argument to the methods that need the request or inject the
request_stack service and access the Request by calling the
getCurrentRequest()
method:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21
namespace App\Newsletter;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;
class NewsletterManager
{
protected $requestStack;
public function __construct(RequestStack $requestStack)
{
$this->requestStack = $requestStack;
}
public function anyMethod()
{
$request = $this->requestStack->getCurrentRequest();
// ... do something with the request
}
// ...
}Now, just inject the request_stack, which behaves like any normal service.
If you're using the default services.yaml configuration,
this will happen automatically via autowiring.
Tip
In a controller you can get the Request object by having it passed in as an
argument to your action method. See Controller for
details.
