[@damienollivier5541]

Great tutorial thank you. Do you know if there is a way to automatically create/import the route file into the app route folder when the bundle is installed ?

[@tanyawebdev]

Yes, there are several ways to automatically create or import a route file into the app route folder when installing a Symfony bundle:
1. Using the "KernelEvents::BUNDLE_POST_INSTALL_EVENT" event
- Create a listener for the KernelEvents::BUNDLE_POST_INSTALL_EVENT event.
- In the event listener, check if the installed bundle is your custom bundle.
- If it is, get the path to your bundle's route file.
- Copy or import the route file into the app route folder.
- You can use Symfony's built-in functions, such as file_put_contents() or $router->import(), to perform the copying or importing.
2. Using the Symfony Flex autoloading system
- Create a composer.json file in your bundle and specify the autoload.psr-4 section with your bundle's namespace.
- Place the route file in the folder specified in the autoload.psr-4 section.
- Symfony Flex will automatically load the route file when the bundle is installed.
- Make sure that the route file uses absolute paths for the routes so that they are registered correctly.
3. Using a Symfony Console command
- Create a Symfony Console command that performs the copying or importing of the route file.
- Add the command to the scripts section of your bundle's composer.json file.
- Run the composer run command after installing the bundle to launch the script and import the routes.
4. Using the "BundleImporter" package
- Install the "BundleImporter" package with Composer.
- Create a configuration file for the package, specifying the path to your bundle's route file and the app route folder.
- When the bundle is installed, the "BundleImporter" package will automatically import the route file.
---
Which method to choose depends on your preferences and project requirements.
- Method 1 is the most flexible but requires writing an event listener.
- Method 2 is simpler to implement but requires using Symfony Flex and absolute paths in the route file.
- Method 3 is convenient for creating separate commands for managing routes but requires additional code.
- Method 4 uses a third-party package, which may be simpler but adds a dependency.
