I have read several opinions about routing configuration in Symfony. I stayed
|
|
|
|
|
|
with annotation based routing as it was convinient for me to see the URL right
|
|
|
|
|
|
above the controller action. This was because by just checking the URL, I
|
|
|
|
|
|
remembered the controlling code, as they always were fresh ones. Well, until
|
|
|
|
|
|
today.
|
|
|
|

|
I had to take a look into an old (Sf 2.0, last commit was about 3 months ago)
|
|
|
|
|
|
project of mine. In the same run I’ve upgraded the whole project to 2.2 (it was
|
|
|
|
|
|
a fast one, thanks for [JMikola@GitHub](https://github.com/jmikola) for the
|
|
|
|
|
|
quick reply on my issue with
|
|
|
|
|
|
[JmikolaJsAssetsHelperBundle](https://github.com/jmikola/JmikolaJsAssetsHelperBundle)
|
|
|
|
|
|
again!). After that I went on to the requested change. Now, finding a route in
|
|
|
|
|
|
about 40 controller files spread between 3 bundles can really be a pain! So
|
|
|
|
|
|
I’ve finished with annotation based routing. It’s still a nice feature, it’s
|
|
|
|
|
|
simply not for me.
