Question

in order to create a navigation for me webinterface I’d like to get a variable from the routing config of my bundle. I define the available pages in mybundle/Resources/config/routing.yml.

mybundle_homepage:
  pattern:  /{_locale}/{branch}/{page}
  defaults: { _controller: mybundle:mycontroller:index, _locale: de, branch: x.x.x, page: start }
  requirements:
    _locale:  de|en
    page:     start|functions|events|constants|styleguide

Now I had a look at the Symfony2 YAML Parser and I have to provide a filepath to it’s static method parse: http://symfony.com/doc/2.0/reference/YAML.html

mycontroller.php

use Symfony\Component\Yaml\Yaml;

class mycontroller extends Controller
{
  public function indexAction($_locale, $branch, $page)
  {
    $routing = Yaml::parse('../Resources/config/routing.yml');
    var_dump($routing);
  }
}

I thought I could do it that way because the folder hirarchy looks like that:

• mybundle
  • Controller
    • mycontroller.php
  • Rescources
    • config
      • routing.yml

But it’s not working. Any ideas or maybe another way to get the requirements.page array from the routing file?

You should be able to access the router service inside a class that’s DI container aware. So, you can write something like:

$routes = $this->container->get('router')->getRouteCollection();

$route = $routes->get('my_route_name');
print_r($route->getRequirements());
