Is there a command for creating a new Controller using Symfony framework?

Question

I am studying right now the Symfony 4. I am trying to familiarize myself to this framework. For example in Laravel there's php artisan make:controller PhotoController..

NOTE: I tried

php app/console generate:controller or
php app/console generate:controller <name>

It gives me an error

Could not open input file: app/console

When I tried this

php bin/console generate:controller or php bin/console generate:controller <name>

It gives me an error "There are no commands defined in the generate namespace"

Question: Is there any command that will create a controller with method so that I wont type any more

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

that is php bin/console generate:controller for generate controller not app/console — nima

I didnt specify the version of my app. I think it's the default? Because I just followed the instruction given. composer create-project symfony/skeleton symfony — Angel

There is such command, instead of SymfonyGeneratorBundle use MakerBundle for Symfony 3.4/4.0 now, Generator is deprecated and as I know not maintained anymore, basic usage:

bin/console make:controller

I downloaded the file of maker bundle.... in the github (github.com/symfony/maker-bundle) where should I put those files

You don't need to "download" them, just use composer command and Flex will automatically add dependencies for your project: composer require symfony/maker-bundle See list of available projects for Flex here: symfony.sh

you are using symfony4, so I think there is no option to generate a controller yet

For generation controller bin/console generate:controller, you need to have installed sensio/generator-bundle, but as I know it doesn't work with Symfony 4 now. Try to use bin/console for getting available commands.

I just checked it, it doesnt have any generate:controller.

Sure, because this bundle does not support Symfony 4. It also does not support the new bundle-less directory structure as created by Symfony Flex. Use the Maker bundle instead. github.com/symfony/maker-bundle and Symfony docs: symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/SymfonyMakerBundle/index.html

There are two ways to create a new controller in Symfony

1 php bin/console make:controller UserController

2 symfony console make:controller UserController

Please add some explanation to your answer such that others can learn from it. Is there any difference between this answer and the one by Generwp posted five years ago?
