Symfony - get module URL-key

I'm using a common set of javascript across several Symfony modules. I'd like to output the current module url-key as a javascript variable, so the javascript can use it to construct urls for various AJAX calls. I can't find where to get it, though.

$sf_context->getModuleName();

returns the module name, but not how it appears in the URL. I开发者_C百科 get that I could parse the module name from window.location, but that not only seems a bit crude, but I will soon have a case where I construct a url to a different module than the one that generated the current page.

How does one get the URL-key for the current (or given) module? Surely that mapping exists for the front controller.

To get the exact value as it was written in the url you can use custom routings. In symfony you can create a routing rule with the module name as a variable in the url. This variable named whatever you want will then be available in your action.

For example (app/*yourAppName*/config/routing.yml):

the_name_of_your_route:
  url:    thisIsAUrl/:variableYouWantWithWhateverCase
  param:  { module: yourModuleName, action: yourActionName }

Your url: param can even have regEx and wildcards in them if you like.

So now when you are in your executeYourActionName function a variable named variableYouWantWithWhateverCase will be set in the request exactly how it was typed in the url.

Hope this helps.

You can get the url-value of the current module with:

$sf_params->get('module');  // in templates

and

$request->getParameter('module');       // either this
$this->getRequestParameter('module');   // or this in the actions

and for constucting URLs to other modules I can use url_for(), though I couldn't get the module url-value alone via this method (it generates an entire url).
