Symfony2 @Template in the controller

Question

I use annotation routing and this is my controller:

/** * @Route("/", name="_index") * @Template() */ 

I understand the routes, but can someone explain what @Template () does there, and how can I use it? I could not find documentation about this.

Thanks...

Answer 1

The @Template annotation associates a controller with a template name:

Answer 2

In addition to this answer (by the way, right). You must add the suffix ".html.twig" if you use the TWIG mechanism to render templates.

Your image should look like this:

 /** * @Template("MyOwnBundle:Default:myOwnView.html.twig") */ public function showAction() { ... bla bla bla ... more bla bla } 

In this case, you force showAction () to use a custom template. If @Template () is empty, your showAction () will search for the appropriate template by convention.

Hope this helps. If not, it will only “decorate” a little more answer.
