What is it?

Symfony Routing maps an HTTP request to a set of configuration variables. You define routes with a path pattern such as /blog/{slug} and a set of default values like a controller class, then the matcher turns an incoming URL into those values, including the route name and any captured parameters.

The same route definitions work in reverse. The URL generator builds a path from a route name and parameters, so application code can link to pages without hard-coding URLs. The component is a standalone package and can be installed with Composer, independent of the full Symfony framework.

Key features

  • 01Matches request URLs to routes and returns route parameters.
  • 02Generates URLs from route names and parameters.
  • 03Defines routes with path placeholders and default values.
  • 04Installs as a standalone package via Composer.

Use cases

  • Building a PHP application that needs URL routing without the full framework.
  • Generating consistent links from named routes across templates and code.
  • Mapping REST-style paths like /blog/{slug} to controller actions.
