### TODO

[](#todo)

- Test more than one Symfony version!

### EngineAsArgumentController

[](#engineasargumentcontroller)

- Uses Engine as controller argument for easier configuration with Symfony 3.3
- Because Twig was not found in autoconfig as a constructor argument
-
- constructor tested only with default value

#### Composer configuration for use in Symfony Framework or elsewhere where this controller is called by the Symfony kernel

[](#composer-configuration-for-use-in-symfony-framework-or-elsewhere-where-this-controller-is-called-by-the-symfony-kernel)

- as long as there is the tiniest risk that Symfony < 3.3 could be installed by composer
- ie Symfony 2.8 is supported until close to the end of 2018 it will survive up to mid 2019 and more in distributions like Debian
-

```
$ composer req symfony-util/controller-using-templating-http-foundation-http-kernel
```

otherwise just

```
$ composer req symfony-util/controller-using-templating-http-foundation
```

#### Symfony configuration (kernel with MicroKernelTrait from symfony/framework)

[](#symfony-configuration-kernel-with-microkerneltrait-from-symfonyframework)

##### symfony/routing

[](#symfonyrouting)

```
function configureRoutes(RouteCollectionBuilder $routes)
{
    // ...
    $routes->add('/', SymfonyUtil\Controller\EngineAsArgumentController::class, 'index');
    // ...
}
```

##### symfony/dependency-injection

[](#symfonydependency-injection)

```
protected function configureContainer(ContainerBuilder $c, LoaderInterface $loader)
{
    // ...
    $c->autowire(SymfonyUtil\Controller\EngineAsArgumentController::class)
        ->setAutoconfigured(true)
        ->addTag('controller.service_arguments')
        ->setPublic(false);
    // ...
```

### TODO

[](#todo-1)

#### PHP 7

[](#php-7)

##### *string* arguments

[](#string-arguments)

- string arguments can officially be type-hinted from php 7.0
-

##### Why code in scripts directory in 5.3 and 5.4 branches is not included in ^7?

[](#why-code-in-scripts-directory-in-53-and-54-branches-is-not-included-in-7)

### Versions

[](#versions)

#### PHP

[](#php)

##### 5.5 TemplatingController::class in unit tests

[](#55-templatingcontrollerclass-in-unit-tests)

##### 5.6 \_\_invoke(...$arguments) in VariadicController.php

[](#56-__invokearguments-in-variadiccontrollerphp)

##### 7.0 (master)

[](#70-master)

- declare(strict\_types=1);
- function f(): float
- function s(string $s)
