The parameter has been removed and the service moved to the XML file (for consistency).
The behavior is still the same as before as any non-public service
which is not referenced anywhere will be automatically removed by a
compiler pass.
We a currently working on a project were a single requested URL typically
leads to some hundred controller calls. Using the dev controller got
incredibly slow since recent Symfony2 changes because for each controller
invocation a new entry gets added to the profiler storage (totalling over
100mb of data on each request in our case).
With the new configuration attribute "only-master-requests" it is possible
to limit the profiler storage to the master requests, keeping the profiler
usable for us.
Controllers:
"BlogBundle:Post:show" is now "Blog:Post:show"
Templates:
"BlogBundle:Post:show.html.twig" is now "Blog:Post:show.html.twig"
Resources:
"@BlogBundle/Resources/config/blog.xml" is now "@Blog/Resources/config/blog.xml"
Doctrine:
"$em->find('BlogBundle:Post', $id)" is now "$em->find('Blog:Post', $id)"
The onCore* events are fired at some pre-defined points during the
handling of a request. At this is more important than the fact
that you can change things from the event.
The only missing part is ContainerAwareEventManager::addEventSubscriberService(),
because I'm not sure how to find out the class name of a service in the DIC.
Also, inline documentation of this code needs to be finished once it is accepted.
Doctrine's EventManager implementation has several advantages over the
EventDispatcher implementation of Symfony2. Therefore I suggest that we
use their implementation.
Advantages:
* Event Listeners are objects, not callbacks. These objects have handler
methods that have the same name as the event. This helps a lot when
reading the code and makes the code for adding an event listener shorter.
* You can create Event Subscribers, which are event listeners with an
additional getSubscribedEvents() method. The benefit here is that the
code that registers the subscriber doesn't need to know about its
implementation.
* All events are defined in static Events classes, so users of IDEs benefit
of code completion
* The communication between the dispatching class of an event and all
listeners is done through a subclass of EventArgs. This subclass can be
tailored to the type of event. A constructor, setters and getters can be
implemented that verify the validity of the data set into the object.
See examples below.
* Because each event type corresponds to an EventArgs implementation,
developers of event listeners can look up the available EventArgs methods
and benefit of code completion.
* EventArgs::stopPropagation() is more flexible and (IMO) clearer to use
than notifyUntil(). Also, it is a concept that is also used in other
event implementations
Before:
class EventListener
{
public function handle(EventInterface $event, $data) { ... }
}
$dispatcher->connect('core.request', array($listener, 'handle'));
$dispatcher->notify('core.request', new Event(...));
After (with listeners):
final class Events
{
const onCoreRequest = 'onCoreRequest';
}
class EventListener
{
public function onCoreRequest(RequestEventArgs $eventArgs) { ... }
}
$evm->addEventListener(Events::onCoreRequest, $listener);
$evm->dispatchEvent(Events::onCoreRequest, new RequestEventArgs(...));
After (with subscribers):
class EventSubscriber
{
public function onCoreRequest(RequestEventArgs $eventArgs) { ... }
public function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return Events::onCoreRequest;
}
}
$evm->addEventSubscriber($subscriber);
$evm->dispatchEvent(Events::onCoreRequest, new RequestEventArgs(...));
The Response is not available in the DIC anymore.
When you need to create a response, create an instance of
Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response instead.
As a side effect, the Controller::createResponse() and Controller::redirect()
methods have been removed and can easily be replaced as follows:
return $this->createResponse('content', 200, array('foo' => 'bar'));
return new Response('content', 200, array('foo' => 'bar'));
return $this->redirect($url);
return Response::createRedirect($url);
Without this patch, if you call __toString() on a Response,
the content-type auto-detection would never be trigerred
as __toString() changes the default content-type.
