I would suggest you follow the Symfony suggestions for setting up before and after filters, where you perform your functionality within the filter itself, rather than trying to create a beforeFilter()
function in your controller that is executed. It will allow you to achieve what you want - the function being called before every controller action - as well as not having to muddy up your controller(s) with additional code. In your case, you would also want to inject the Symfony session to the filter:
# app/config/services.yml
services:
app.before_controller_listener:
class: AppBundle\EventListener\BeforeControllerListener
arguments: ['@session', '@router', '@doctrine_mongodb.odm.document_manager']
tags:
- { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.controller, method: onKernelController }
Then you'll create your before listener, which will need the Symony session and routing services, as well as the MongoDB document manager (making that assumption based on your profile).
// src/AppBundle/EventListener/BeforeControllerListener.php
namespace AppBundle\EventListener;
use Doctrine\ODM\MongoDB\DocumentManager;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Routing\Router;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RedirectResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Session;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\FilterControllerEvent;
use AppBundle\Controller\LedgerController;
use AppBundle\Path\To\Your\CommonFunctions;
class BeforeControllerListener
{
private $session;
private $router;
private $documentManager;
private $commonFunctions;
public function __construct(Session $session, Router $router, DocumentManager $dm)
{
$this->session = $session;
$this->router = $router;
$this->dm = $dm;
$this->commonFunctions = new CommonFunctions();
}
public function onKernelController(FilterControllerEvent $event)
{
$controller = $event->getController();
if (!is_array($controller)) {
return;
}
if ($controller[0] instanceof LedgerController) {
if ($this->commonFunctions->checkFinancialYear($this->dm) !== 0 ) {
return;
}
$this->session->getFlashBag()->add('error', 'Sorry');
$redirectUrl= $this->router->generate('financialyear');
$event->setController(function() use ($redirectUrl) {
return new RedirectResponse($redirectUrl);
});
}
}
}
If you are in fact using the Symfony CMF then the Router might actually be ChainRouter
and your use
statement for the router would change to use Symfony\Cmf\Component\Routing\ChainRouter;
There are a few additional things here you might want to reconsider - for instance, if the CommonFunctions
class needs DocumentManager
, you might just want to make your CommonFunctions
class a service that injects the DocumentManager
automatically. Then in this service you would only have to inject your common functions service instead of the document manager.
Either way what is happening here is that we are checking that we are in the LedgerController
, then checking whether or not we want to redirect, and if so we overwrite the entire Controller via a callback. This sets the redirect response to your route and performs the redirect.
If you want this check on every single controller you could simply eliminate the check for LedgerController
.
