Get the Symfony route name in a Twig template
Published on 2020-01-09 • Modified on 2020-01-09
Sometimes, it's useful to know the current route name in a Twig template. For example in a layout where you don't "receive" the route name from the controller. It allows setting an "active" class on your menu links depending on the current context. I am using this trick on this website. As you can see, the "snippet" entry of the menu is highlighted. In this case, I test if the current route starts with snippet_
as all routes of this controller start with this string thanks to the route annotation which is set at the class level:
* @Route("/{_locale}/snippets", name="snippet_", requirements={"_locale"="%locales_requirements%"})
.
Current route: {{ app.request.get('_route') }}
->
Current route: snippet_show
