Small Bundle to help use externals urls inside a symfony project.

The goal is to help the communication by centralizing all the routes inside a single configuration fila and providing methods to use thems.

Installation

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

$ composer require <package-name>

Hom to use the bundle

Inside elvandar_ec.yml, you can configure your sites and routes:

    site:
        routes:
            name: 'http://path/to/your/site'

The file is organised betwin sites. Each site represents a grouping of urls under the routes list.

Configuration example

    your_first_site:
        routes:
            home: 'http://first-site/'
            description: 'http://first-site/description'
            contact: 'http://first-site/contact'
    your_second_site:
        routes:
            home: 'http://second-site/'
            contact: 'http://second-site/contact'
            blog: 'http://second-site/blog'
            
    The name of your site: # the name you want to give to your site
        routes:            # a list of the site routes
            Name: 'URL'    # name of the route : url of the route

Use the service

You can now use the Externals service to retrieve :

    $externals = $this->container->get('ec');
    
    $externals->getRoute('contact', 'your_second_site');

or redirect to the desired route :

    $externals = $this->container->get('ec');

    $externals->redirectToExternal('description', 'your_first_site');

Bboth the redirectToEcternal and getRoute methods follow the same parameters rules:

1 - First parameter

The first parameter is the name of your route.

For example inside the example configuration, the name for http://second-site/blog is blog.

This parameter is required.

2 - Second parameter

The second parameter is the name of the site. It is not required but will be needed if multiple roads have the same name.

For example, the second parameter is not needed for the blog route but will be needed for the home or the contact routes.
