Question

I followed this tutorial and got SonataAdminBundle successfully installed. However, I’m very new to Symfony2 and I’m having trouble understanding parts of the routing configuration found in the tutorial.

# app/config/routing.yml    
_sonata_admin:
    resource: .
    type: sonata_admin
    prefix: /admin

1. Where does resource: . get the routes from?
2. What does type: sonata_admin mean?

Thanks!
