#### Use objects to generate routes

[](#use-objects-to-generate-routes)

Let's say you have a blog application with route like this:

```
/**
 * @Route("/{id}", name="post_detailed")
 */
public function indexAction(Post $post)
{...}
```

then your templates will have this:

```
View post
```

*For this simple case, [ParamConverter](https://symfony.com/doc/current/best_practices/controllers.html#using-the-paramconverter) is automatically applied.*

##### The problem

[](#the-problem)

Now imagine you want to change it to use `{slug}` instead of `{id}` in your URL. Updating controller is simple, but updating all the templates is not so.

##### The solution

[](#the-solution)

This bundle acts as ReverseParamConverter. Check this example:

```
/**
 * @Route("/{id}", name="post_detailed")
 * @RewireParams(requires={"post"}, rewire={"id"="post.id"})
 */
public function indexAction(Post $post)
{...}
```

and the template:

```
View post
```

Now instead of `new_post.id` you can use object itself and this bundle will use it to generate `{id}` needed for route.

So if you want to slug instead of id in your route, just update your controller:

```
/**
 * @Route("/{slug}", name="post_detailed")
 * @RewireParams(requires={"post"}, rewire={"slug"="post.slug"})
 */
public function indexAction(Post $post)
{...}
```

and that's all, template doesn't require any changes.

#### Note

[](#note)

If you install this bundle, you don't have to change all your templates immediatelly. So both these combinations would still work:

```
View post

View post
```

#### Complex routes

[](#complex-routes)

The above example is pretty simple so let's try something more complex. For this, imagine we wanted to add `{category_slug}` to URL for better SEO.

The old way:

```
/**
 * @Route("/{category_slug}/{slug}", name="post_detailed")
 */
public function indexAction(Post $post)
{...}
```

```
View post
```

For this fictional blog application, generated route would be something like `/conspiracy-theories/why-they-suck`. You can see why updating templates can be a problem.

With this bundle:

```
/**
 * @Route("/{category_slug}/{slug}", name="post_detailed")
 * @RewireParams(requires={"post"}, rewire={"category_slug"="post.category.slug", "slug": post.slug})
 */
public function indexAction(Post $post)
{...}
```

your template doesn't require any changes, it would remain the same:

```
View post
```

#### Usage

[](#usage)

The @RewireParams annotation has 2 properties:

- requires: these are names of your parameters. `post` is used in all examples.
- rewire: a set of key=>value pairs where key is the name used in your @Route annotation and value is [PropertyAccess](http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/property_access.html#reading-from-objects) rule for reading objects.

#### Perfomance

[](#perfomance)

While there is perfomance hit, I didn't notice any on page with 106 routes (largest I have). It is probably too small to spot it but more testing is needed.

Program works by caching @RewireParams annotations and later using it in Router decorator class. Given this bundle is built in a day, I am sure improvements can be made.

#### Installation

[](#installation)

```
composer require wjb/rewire-bundle

```

If you are on Symfony4, you don't have to do anything else. For Symfony3, enable the bundle in your AppKernel:

```
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = [
            ...
            new wjb\RewireBundle\wjbRewireBundle(),
            ...

```
