=================================

[](#symfony-init-controller-extension)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/af7483e929034e341f6e86905d67bc98d9a46191edc4324e43528fcf024c3338/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f596176696e2f73796d666f6e792d696e69742d636f6e74726f6c6c65722e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/Yavin/symfony-init-controller)

Add ability to execute `init` method in controller before every action. Based on [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/11179521/1051297)

Example
-------

[](#example)

```
class SampleController extends Controller implements InitControllerInterface
{
    protected $page;

    public function init(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->get('redirect') == 1) {
            return $this->redirect('http://example.com');
        }

       $this->page = $request->get('page');
    }

    public function indexAction()
    {
        //some action code
    }
}
```

Instalation
-----------

[](#instalation)

1. Add library to composer.json

    ```
    "yavin/symfony-init-controller": "0.3"
    ```

    and run command

    ```
    composer update yavin/symfony-init-controller

    ```
2. Add service in your bundle services file `Resources/config/services.xml`:

    ```

    ```

    or if you have `services.yml`:

    ```
    services:
        symfony.controller.subscriber.init:
            class: Yavin\Symfony\Controller\InitControllerSubscriber
            tags:
                - { name: kernel.event_subscriber }
    ```
3. Then implement `InitControllerInterface` in controller that you want to have init method.

    ```
    namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Controller;

    use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
    use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
    use Yavin\Symfony\Controller\InitControllerInterface;

    class SampleController extends Controller implements InitControllerInterface
    {
        protected $page;

        public function init(Request $request)
        {
            //init method could return response, for example redirect
            if ($request->get('redirect') == 1) {
                return $this->redirect('http://example.com');
            }

            $this->page = $request->get('page');
        }

        public function indexAction()
        {
            //...
        }

        public function otherAction()
        {
            //...
        }
    }
    ```
