Symfony2 - get the main request for the current route in the partial / subquery branch

Question

In the partial part of Twig processed by a separate controller, I want to check if the current main route matches the compared route, so I can mark the list item as active.

How can i do this? Trying to get the current route in BarController, for example:

$route = $request->get('_route'); 

returns null .

Uri also not what I'm looking for, like calling the code below in bar twig:

 app.request.uri 

returns a route similar to: localhost/_fragment?path=path_to_bar_route

Full example

Main controller: FooController extends the controller {

  public function fooAction(){} } 

fooAction twig:

 ...some stuff... {{ render(controller('FooBundle:Bar:bar')) }} ...some stuff... 

Panel Controller:

 BarController extends Controller{ public function barAction(){} } 

barAction twig:

 <ul> <li class="{{ (item1route == currentroute) ? 'active' : ''}}"> Item 1 </li> <li class="{{ (item2route == currentroute) ? 'active' : ''}}"> Item 2 </li> <li class="{{ (item3route == currentroute) ? 'active' : ''}}"> Item 3 </li> </ul>

pabgaran should work. However, the original problem is probably due to request_stack .

Since you are in a subquery, you should get the top level ( master ) Request and get _route . Something like that:

 public function barAction(Request $request) { $stack = $this->get('request_stack'); $masterRequest = $stack->getMasterRequest(); $currentRoute = $masterRequest->get('_route'); ... return $this->render('Template', array('current_route' => $currentRoute ); } 

Do not run this, but it should work ...

I think the best solution in your case went through the current main route in rendering:

 {{ render(controller('FooBundle:Bar:bar', {'current_route' : app.request.uri})) }} 

Then return it in response:

 public function barAction(Request $request) { ... return $this->render('Template', array('current_route' => $request->query->get('current_route')); } 

And in your template is compared with the received value.

Otherwise, it might be better to use include instead of rendering if you do not need additional logic for partial.

in the branch, you can send the request object from the main controller to the sub-controller as a parameter:

 {{ render(controller('FooBundle:Bar:bar', {'request' : app.request})) }} 

in the subcontroller:

 BarController extends Controller{ public function barAction(Request $request){ // here you can use request object as regular $country = $request->attributes->get('route_country'); } }
