Question

I use jquery ui autocomplete with a dynamic source:

 $( "#shop-id" ).autocomplete({
        source: function(request, response){
            $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: "/app_dev.php/ticket/get_sids/",
                data: {
                    term: request.term
                },
                success: function(data){
                    console.log(data);
                }
            })
        }
    });

The produced url will look like this:

/app_dev.php/ticket/get_sids/?term=22

How do I handle that in symfony 2 routing? I tried several things but the question mark seems to be the bottle neck.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

term=22 is a query parameter — a parameter that comes with a GET request. Symfony will not use this while checking the route, so it will try to find a route for /ticket/get_sids/. If you define a controller that handles this URL, then you can get the term parameter like this:

$term = $request->query->get('term');
