I have two controllers
DefaultController
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
ApiController
class ApiController extends Controller
{
public function getCategoryAction()
{
Now I want to call getCategoryAction from my DefaultController.
Is it impossible or how can I make it?
There is forwarding in Symfony2. So, you could do sth like that:
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
public function indexAction()
{
// @var Response $categoryListResponse
$categoryListResponse = $this->forward('YourBundle:Api:getCategory');
// ... further modify the response or return it directly
return $categoryListResponse;
}
}
Where $categoryListResponse is Response type and represents an HTTP response. So you could $categoryListResponse->getContent() from this response.
You can configure controller as a service and then use
$this->forward('controller.service.name')->methodOnTheController()
you can create you own services and then call them from all the controllers
You can extend ApController controller like this:
class ApiController extends DefaultController
{
public function yourAction()
{
$this->getCategoryAction();
}
}
Or even better create a MyClass class (if getCategoryAction is going to be reused) register as a service
It all depend what you want to achieve at the end
