frosas/BaseUrlBundle

This Symfony2 bundle sets the router default base URL

PHPMIT

Notice this functionality is already available in Symfony since version 2.1

This Symfony2 bundle sets the router default base URL (which by default is http://localhost)

It is required when absolute URLs are generated while not dealing with a request (like when sending an email from a cron job).

Installation and configuration

Require it

$ composer require frosas/base-url-bundle:1.*@dev

Register it in app/AppKernel.php

$bundles = array(
    // ...
    new Frosas\BaseUrlBundle\FrosasBaseUrlBundle
);

Set the base URL. This is the recommended usage:

# app/config/config.yml
frosas_base_url:
    base_url: %base_url%

# app/config/parameters.yml
parameters:
    base_url: http://example.com

Troubleshooting

Controller tests fail when using generated URLs

If you generate the URLs you test
```
$client = self::createClient();
$profileUrl = $client->getContainer()->get('router')->generate('profile', array('id' => 123);
$client->request('get', $profileUrl);
```
your tests can fail as the default Symfony test client expects the site to be in the root of the domain (like http://example.com). If your base URL has a path (like http://localhost/~user/my-site) you'll have to change it for you test environment.
```
# app/config/config_test.yml
frosas_base_url:
    base_url: http://localhost
```
