Question

I am building a web application with Symfony 2, using the FOSUserBundle bundle.
Users create an account, login and start using the application.

What I want to achieve now is to have the user redirected to their account from any page they may be at if they are logged in.
This includes:

• if they get back to the login page
• if they get back to the registration page
• if they go to the homepage of the website
• once they confirm their email
• once they reset their password

Basically the code would be something like this:

$container = $this->container;
$accountRouteName = "DanyukiWebappBundle_account";
if( $container->get('security.context')->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY') ){
    // authenticated (NON anonymous)
    $routeName = $container->get('request')->get('_route');
    if ($routeName != $accountRouteName) {
        return $this->redirect($this->generateUrl($accountRouteName));
    }
}

The problem is I don’t know where that code should go.
It should be executed for any request. In Symfony 1 I would have used a filter.

I found the solution myself:

<?php

namespace Danyuki\UserBundle\Listener;

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;

class LoggedInUserListener
{
    private $router;
    private $container;

    public function __construct($router, $container)
    {
        $this->router = $router;
        $this->container = $container;
    }    

    public function onKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
    {
        $container = $this->container;
        $accountRouteName = "DanyukiWebappBundle_account";
        if( $container->get('security.context')->isGranted('IS_AUTHENTICATED_FULLY') ){
            // authenticated (NON anonymous)
            $routeName = $container->get('request')->get('_route');
            if ($routeName != $accountRouteName) {
                $url = $this->router->generate($accountRouteName);
                $event->setResponse(new RedirectResponse($url));
            }
        }
    }
}

And then, in the services.yml file of my bundle:

services:
    kernel.listener.logged_in_user_listener:
            class: Danyuki\UserBundle\Listener\LoggedInUserListener
            tags:
                - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request, method: onKernelRequest }
            arguments: [ @router, @service_container ]
