UPGRADE FROM 2.x to 3.0 ======================= # Table of Contents - [ClassLoader](#classloader) - [Config](#config) - [Console](#console) - [DependencyInjection](#dependencyinjection) - [DoctrineBridge](#doctrinebridge) - [DomCrawler](#domcrawler) - [EventDispatcher](#eventdispatcher) - [Form](#form) - [FrameworkBundle](#frameworkbundle) - [HttpFoundation](#httpfoundation) - [HttpKernel](#httpkernel) - [Locale](#locale) - [Monolog Bridge](#monolog-bridge) - [Process](#process) - [PropertyAccess](#propertyaccess) - [Routing](#routing) - [Security](#security) - [SecurityBundle](#securitybundle) - [Serializer](#serializer) - [Swiftmailer Bridge](#swiftmailer-bridge) - [Translator](#translator) - [Twig Bridge](#twig-bridge) - [TwigBundle](#twigbundle) - [Validator](#validator) - [WebProfiler](#webprofiler) - [Yaml](#yaml) ### ClassLoader * The `UniversalClassLoader` class has been removed in favor of `ClassLoader`. The only difference is that some method names are different: | Old name | New name | -------- | --- | `registerNamespaces()` | `addPrefixes()` | `registerPrefixes()` | `addPrefixes()` | `registerNamespace()` | `addPrefix()` | `registerPrefix()` | `addPrefix()` | `getNamespaces()` | `getPrefixes()` | `getNamespaceFallbacks()` | `getFallbackDirs()` | `getPrefixFallbacks()` | `getFallbackDirs()` * The `DebugUniversalClassLoader` class has been removed in favor of `DebugClassLoader`. The difference is that the constructor now takes a loader to wrap. ### Config * `\Symfony\Component\Config\Resource\ResourceInterface::isFresh()` has been removed. Also, cache validation through this method (which was still supported in 2.8 for BC) does no longer work because the `\Symfony\Component\Config\Resource\BCResourceInterfaceChecker` helper class has been removed as well. * The `__toString()` method of the `\Symfony\Component\Config\ConfigCache` class was removed in favor of the new `getPath()` method. ### Console * The `dialog` helper has been removed in favor of the `question` helper. * The methods `isQuiet`, `isVerbose`, `isVeryVerbose` and `isDebug` were added to `Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface`. * `ProgressHelper` has been removed in favor of `ProgressBar`. Before: ```php $h = new ProgressHelper(); $h->start($output, 10); for ($i = 1; $i < 5; $i++) { usleep(200000); $h->advance(); } $h->finish(); ``` After: ```php $bar = new ProgressBar($output, 10); $bar->start(); for ($i = 1; $i < 5; $i++) { usleep(200000); $bar->advance(); } ``` * `TableHelper` has been removed in favor of `Table`. Before: ```php $table = $app->getHelperSet()->get('table'); $table ->setHeaders(array('ISBN', 'Title', 'Author')) ->setRows(array( array('99921-58-10-7', 'Divine Comedy', 'Dante Alighieri'), array('9971-5-0210-0', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Charles Dickens'), array('960-425-059-0', 'The Lord of the Rings', 'J. R. R. Tolkien'), array('80-902734-1-6', 'And Then There Were None', 'Agatha Christie'), )) ; $table->render($output); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Console\Helper\Table; $table = new Table($output); $table ->setHeaders(array('ISBN', 'Title', 'Author')) ->setRows(array( array('99921-58-10-7', 'Divine Comedy', 'Dante Alighieri'), array('9971-5-0210-0', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Charles Dickens'), array('960-425-059-0', 'The Lord of the Rings', 'J. R. R. Tolkien'), array('80-902734-1-6', 'And Then There Were None', 'Agatha Christie'), )) ; $table->render(); ``` * Parameters of `renderException()` method of the `Symfony\Component\Console\Application` are type hinted. You must add the type hint to your implementations. ### DependencyInjection * The method `remove` was added to `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ParameterBag\ParameterBagInterface`. * The concept of scopes was removed, the removed methods are: - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder::getScopes()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder::getScopeChildren()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface::enterScope()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface::leaveScope()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface::addScope()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface::hasScope()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface::isScopeActive()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Definition::setScope()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Definition::getScope()` - `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Reference::isStrict()` Also, the `$scope` and `$strict` parameters of `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerInterface::set()` and `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Reference` respectively were removed. * A new `shared` flag has been added to the service definition in replacement of the `prototype` scope. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder; $container = new ContainerBuilder(); $container ->register('foo', 'stdClass') ->setScope(ContainerBuilder::SCOPE_PROTOTYPE) ; ``` ```yml services: foo: class: stdClass scope: prototype ``` ```xml ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder; $container = new ContainerBuilder(); $container ->register('foo', 'stdClass') ->setShared(false) ; ``` ```yml services: foo: class: stdClass shared: false ``` ```xml ``` * `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAware` was removed, use `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAwareTrait` or implement `Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerAwareInterface` manually * The methods `Definition::setFactoryClass()`, `Definition::setFactoryMethod()`, and `Definition::setFactoryService()` have been removed in favor of `Definition::setFactory()`. Services defined using YAML or XML use the same syntax as configurators. * Synchronized services are deprecated and the following methods have been removed: `ContainerBuilder::synchronize()`, `Definition::isSynchronized()`, and `Definition::setSynchronized()`. ### DomCrawler * The interface of the `Symfony\Component\DomCrawler\Crawler` changed. It does no longer implement `\Iterator` but `\IteratorAggregate`. If you rely on methods of the `\Iterator` interface, call the `getIterator` method of the `\IteratorAggregate` interface before. No changes are required in a `\Traversable`-aware control structure, such as `foreach`. Before: ```php $crawler->current(); ``` After: ```php $crawler->getIterator()->current(); ``` ### DoctrineBridge * The `property` option of `DoctrineType` was removed in favor of the `choice_label` option. * The `loader` option of `DoctrineType` was removed. You now have to override the `getLoader()` method in your custom type. * The `Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\ChoiceList\EntityChoiceList` was removed in favor of `Symfony\Bridge\Doctrine\Form\ChoiceList\DoctrineChoiceLoader`. * Passing a query builder closure to `ORMQueryBuilderLoader` is not supported anymore. You should pass resolved query builders only. Consequently, the arguments `$manager` and `$class` of `ORMQueryBuilderLoader` have been removed as well. Note that the `query_builder` option of `DoctrineType` *does* support closures, but the closure is now resolved in the type instead of in the loader. * Using the entity provider with a Doctrine repository implementing `UserProviderInterface` is not supported anymore. You should make the repository implement `UserLoaderInterface` instead. ### EventDispatcher * The method `getListenerPriority($eventName, $listener)` has been added to the `EventDispatcherInterface`. * The interface `Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\Debug\TraceableEventDispatcherInterface` extends `Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventDispatcherInterface`. ### Form * The `getBlockPrefix()` method was added to the `FormTypeInterface` in replacement of the `getName()` method which has been removed. * The `configureOptions()` method was added to the `FormTypeInterface` in replacement of the `setDefaultOptions()` method which has been removed. * The `getBlockPrefix()` method was added to the `ResolvedFormTypeInterface` in replacement of the `getName()` method which has been removed. * The option `options` of the `CollectionType` has been removed in favor of the `entry_options` option. * The `cascade_validation` option was removed. Use the `constraints` option together with the `Valid` constraint instead. * Type names were removed. Instead of referencing types by name, you must reference them by their fully-qualified class name (FQCN) instead: Before: ```php $form = $this->createFormBuilder() ->add('name', 'text') ->add('age', 'integer') ->getForm(); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\IntegerType; use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\TextType; $form = $this->createFormBuilder() ->add('name', TextType::class) ->add('age', IntegerType::class) ->getForm(); ``` If you want to customize the block prefix of a type in Twig, you must now implement `FormTypeInterface::getBlockPrefix()`: Before: ```php class UserProfileType extends AbstractType { public function getName() { return 'profile'; } } ``` After: ```php class UserProfileType extends AbstractType { public function getBlockPrefix() { return 'profile'; } } ``` If you don't customize `getBlockPrefix()`, it defaults to the class name without "Type" suffix in underscore notation (here: "user_profile"). Type extension must return the fully-qualified class name of the extended type from `FormTypeExtensionInterface::getExtendedType()` now. Before: ```php class MyTypeExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension { public function getExtendedType() { return 'form'; } } ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FormType; class MyTypeExtension extends AbstractTypeExtension { public function getExtendedType() { return FormType::class; } } ``` * The `FormTypeInterface::getName()` method was removed. * Returning type instances from `FormTypeInterface::getParent()` is not supported anymore. Return the fully-qualified class name of the parent type class instead. Before: ```php class MyType { public function getParent() { return new ParentType(); } } ``` After: ```php class MyType { public function getParent() { return ParentType::class; } } ``` * The option `type` of the `CollectionType` has been removed in favor of the `entry_type` option. The value for the `entry_type` option must be the fully-qualified class name (FQCN). * Passing type instances to `Form::add()`, `FormBuilder::add()` and the `FormFactory::create*()` methods is not supported anymore. Pass the fully-qualified class name of the type instead. Before: ```php $form = $this->createForm(new MyType()); ``` After: ```php $form = $this->createForm(MyType::class); ``` * Passing custom data to forms now needs to be done through the options resolver. In the controller: Before: ```php $form = $this->createForm(new MyType($variable), $entity, array( 'action' => $this->generateUrl('action_route'), 'method' => 'PUT', )); ``` After: ```php $form = $this->createForm(MyType::class, $entity, array( 'action' => $this->generateUrl('action_route'), 'method' => 'PUT', 'custom_value' => $variable, )); ``` In the form type: Before: ```php class MyType extends AbstractType { private $value; public function __construct($variableValue) { $this->value = $value; } // ... } ``` After: ```php public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options) { $value = $options['custom_value']; // ... } public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver) { $resolver->setDefaults(array( 'custom_value' => null, )); } ``` * The alias option of the `form.type_extension` tag was removed in favor of the `extended_type`/`extended-type` option. Before: ```xml ``` After: ```xml ``` * The `max_length` option was removed. Use the `attr` option instead by setting it to an `array` with a `maxlength` key. * The `ChoiceToBooleanArrayTransformer`, `ChoicesToBooleanArrayTransformer`, `FixRadioInputListener`, and `FixCheckboxInputListener` classes were removed. * The `choice_list` option of `ChoiceType` was removed. * The option "precision" was renamed to "scale". Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\NumberType; $builder->add('length', NumberType::class, array( 'precision' => 3, )); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\NumberType; $builder->add('length', NumberType::class, array( 'scale' => 3, )); ``` * The option "`virtual`" was renamed to "`inherit_data`". Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FormType; $builder->add('address', FormType::class, array( 'virtual' => true, )); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\Type\FormType; $builder->add('address', FormType::class, array( 'inherit_data' => true, )); ``` * The method `AbstractType::setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)` and `AbstractTypeExtension::setDefaultOptions(OptionsResolverInterface $resolver)` have been renamed. You should use `AbstractType::configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)` and `AbstractTypeExtension::configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)` instead. * The methods `Form::bind()` and `Form::isBound()` were removed. You should use `Form::submit()` and `Form::isSubmitted()` instead. Before: ```php $form->bind(array(...)); ``` After: ```php $form->submit(array(...)); ``` * Passing a `Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request` instance, as was supported by `FormInterface::bind()`, is not possible with `FormInterface::submit()` anymore. You should use `FormInterface::handleRequest()` instead. Before: ```php if ('POST' === $request->getMethod()) { $form->bind($request); if ($form->isValid()) { // ... } } ``` After: ```php $form->handleRequest($request); if ($form->isValid()) { // ... } ``` If you want to test whether the form was submitted separately, you can use the method `isSubmitted()`: ```php $form->handleRequest($request); if ($form->isSubmitted()) { // ... if ($form->isValid()) { // ... } } ``` * The events `PRE_BIND`, `BIND` and `POST_BIND` were renamed to `PRE_SUBMIT`, `SUBMIT` and `POST_SUBMIT`. Before: ```php $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_BIND, function (FormEvent $event) { // ... }); ``` After: ```php $builder->addEventListener(FormEvents::PRE_SUBMIT, function (FormEvent $event) { // ... }); ``` * The class `VirtualFormAwareIterator` was renamed to `InheritDataAwareIterator`. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Util\VirtualFormAwareIterator; $iterator = new VirtualFormAwareIterator($forms); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Util\InheritDataAwareIterator; $iterator = new InheritDataAwareIterator($forms); ``` * The `TypeTestCase` class was moved from the `Symfony\Component\Form\Tests\Extension\Core\Type` namespace to the `Symfony\Component\Form\Test` namespace. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Tests\Extension\Core\Type\TypeTestCase class MyTypeTest extends TypeTestCase { // ... } ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Form\Test\TypeTestCase; class MyTypeTest extends TypeTestCase { // ... } ``` * The option "options" of the CollectionType has been renamed to "entry_options". * The option "type" of the CollectionType has been renamed to "entry_type". As a value for the option you must provide the fully-qualified class name (FQCN) now as well. * The `FormIntegrationTestCase` and `FormPerformanceTestCase` classes were moved form the `Symfony\Component\Form\Tests` namespace to the `Symfony\Component\Form\Test` namespace. * The constants `ROUND_HALFEVEN`, `ROUND_HALFUP` and `ROUND_HALFDOWN` in class `NumberToLocalizedStringTransformer` were renamed to `ROUND_HALF_EVEN`, `ROUND_HALF_UP` and `ROUND_HALF_DOWN`. * The `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\ChoiceList\ChoiceListInterface` was removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\ChoiceListInterface`. * `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\View\ChoiceView` was removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\View\ChoiceView`. * The interface `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Csrf\CsrfProvider\CsrfProviderInterface` and all of its implementations were removed. Use the new interface `Symfony\Component\Security\Csrf\CsrfTokenManagerInterface` instead. * The options "`csrf_provider`" and "`intention`" were renamed to "`csrf_token_generator`" and "`csrf_token_id`". * The method `Form::getErrorsAsString()` was removed. Use `Form::getErrors()` instead with the argument `$deep` set to true and `$flatten` set to false and cast the returned iterator to a string (if not done implicitly by PHP). Before: ```php echo $form->getErrorsAsString(); ``` After: ```php echo $form->getErrors(true, false); ``` * The `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\ChoiceList\ChoiceList` class has been removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\ArrayChoiceList`. * The `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\ChoiceList\LazyChoiceList` class has been removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\LazyChoiceList`. * The `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\ChoiceList\ObjectChoiceList` class has been removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\ArrayChoiceList`. * The `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Core\ChoiceList\SimpleChoiceList` class has been removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\ArrayChoiceList`. * The `TimezoneType::getTimezones()` method was removed. You should not use this method. * The `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\ArrayKeyChoiceList` class has been removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Form\ChoiceList\ArrayChoiceList`. ### FrameworkBundle * The `config:debug`, `container:debug`, `router:debug`, `translation:debug` and `yaml:lint` commands have been deprecated since Symfony 2.7 and will be removed in Symfony 3.0. Use the `debug:config`, `debug:container`, `debug:router`, `debug:translation` and `lint:yaml` commands instead. * The base `Controller`class is now abstract. * The visibility of all methods of the base `Controller` class has been changed from `public` to `protected`. * The `getRequest` method of the base `Controller` class has been deprecated since Symfony 2.4 and must be therefore removed in 3.0. The only reliable way to get the `Request` object is to inject it in the action method. Before: ```php namespace Acme\FooBundle\Controller; class DemoController { public function showAction() { $request = $this->getRequest(); // ... } } ``` After: ```php namespace Acme\FooBundle\Controller; use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request; class DemoController { public function showAction(Request $request) { // ... } } ``` * In Symfony 2.7 a small BC break was introduced with the new choices_as_values option. In order to have the choice values populated to the html value attribute you had to define the choice_value option. This is now not any more needed. Before: ```php $form->add('status', 'choice', array( 'choices' => array( 'Enabled' => Status::ENABLED, 'Disabled' => Status::DISABLED, 'Ignored' => Status::IGNORED, ), // choices_as_values defaults to true in Symfony 3.0 // and setting it to anything else is deprecated as of 3.0 'choices_as_values' => true, // important if you rely on your option value attribute (e.g. for JavaScript) // this will keep the same functionality as before 'choice_value' => function ($choice) { return $choice; }, )); ``` After: ```php $form->add('status', ChoiceType::class, array( 'choices' => array( 'Enabled' => Status::ENABLED, 'Disabled' => Status::DISABLED, 'Ignored' => Status::IGNORED, ) )); ``` * The `request` service was removed. You must inject the `request_stack` service instead. * The `enctype` method of the `form` helper was removed. You should use the new method `start` instead. Before: ```php
enctype($form) ?>> ...
``` After: ```php start($form) ?> ... end($form) ?> ``` The method and action of the form default to "POST" and the current document. If you want to change these values, you can set them explicitly in the controller. Alternative 1: ```php $form = $this->createForm('my_form', $formData, array( 'method' => 'PUT', 'action' => $this->generateUrl('target_route'), )); ``` Alternative 2: ```php $form = $this->createFormBuilder($formData) // ... ->setMethod('PUT') ->setAction($this->generateUrl('target_route')) ->getForm(); ``` It is also possible to override the method and the action in the template: ```php start($form, array('method' => 'GET', 'action' => 'http://example.com')) ?> ... end($form) ?> ``` * The `RouterApacheDumperCommand` was removed. * The `createEsi` method of `Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\HttpCache\HttpCache` was removed. Use `createSurrogate` instead. * The `templating.helper.router` service was moved to `templating_php.xml`. You have to ensure that the PHP templating engine is enabled to be able to use it: ```yaml framework: templating: engines: ['php'] ``` * The `form.csrf_provider` service is removed as it implements an adapter for the new token manager to the deprecated `Symfony\Component\Form\Extension\Csrf\CsrfProvider\CsrfProviderInterface` interface. The `security.csrf.token_manager` should be used instead. * The `validator.mapping.cache.apc` service has been removed in favor of the `validator.mapping.cache.doctrine.apc` one. * The ability to pass `apc` as the `framework.validation.cache` configuration key value has been removed. Use `validator.mapping.cache.doctrine.apc` instead: Before: ```yaml framework: validation: cache: apc ``` After: ```yaml framework: validation: cache: validator.mapping.cache.doctrine.apc ``` ### HttpKernel * The `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Log\LoggerInterface` has been removed in favor of `Psr\Log\LoggerInterface`. The only difference is that some method names are different: | Old name | New name | -------- | --- | `emerg()` | `emergency()` | `crit()` | `critical()` | `err()` | `error()` | `warn()` | `warning()` The previous method renames also happened to the following classes: * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger` * `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Log\NullLogger` * The `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Kernel::init()` method has been removed. * The following classes have been renamed as they have been moved to the Debug component: | Old name | New name | -------- | --- | `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Debug\ErrorHandler` | `Symfony\Component\Debug\ErrorHandler` | `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Debug\ExceptionHandler` | `Symfony\Component\Debug\ExceptionHandler` | `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\FatalErrorException` | `Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalErrorException` | `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\FlattenException` | `Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FlattenException` * The `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\ExceptionListener` now passes the Request format as the `_format` argument instead of `format`. * The `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\DependencyInjection\RegisterListenersPass` has been renamed to `Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\DependencyInjection\RegisterListenersPass` and moved to the EventDispatcher component. ### Locale * The Locale component was removed and replaced by the Intl component. Instead of the methods in `Symfony\Component\Locale\Locale`, you should use these equivalent methods in `Symfony\Component\Intl\Intl` now: | Old way | New way | ------- | --- | `Locale::getDisplayCountries()` | `Intl::getRegionBundle()->getCountryNames()` | `Locale::getCountries()` | `array_keys(Intl::getRegionBundle()->getCountryNames())` | `Locale::getDisplayLanguages()` | `Intl::getLanguageBundle()->getLanguageNames()` | `Locale::getLanguages()` | `array_keys(Intl::getLanguageBundle()->getLanguageNames())` | `Locale::getDisplayLocales()` | `Intl::getLocaleBundle()->getLocaleNames()` | `Locale::getLocales()` | `array_keys(Intl::getLocaleBundle()->getLocaleNames())` ### PropertyAccess * Renamed `PropertyAccess::getPropertyAccessor` to `createPropertyAccessor`. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess; $accessor = PropertyAccess::getPropertyAccessor(); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccess; $accessor = PropertyAccess::createPropertyAccessor(); ``` ### Routing * Some route settings have been renamed: * The `pattern` setting has been removed in favor of `path` * The `_scheme` and `_method` requirements have been moved to the `schemes` and `methods` settings Before: ```yaml article_edit: pattern: /article/{id} requirements: { '_method': 'POST|PUT', '_scheme': 'https', 'id': '\d+' } ``` ```xml POST|PUT https \d+ ``` ```php $route = new Route(); $route->setPattern('/article/{id}'); $route->setRequirement('_method', 'POST|PUT'); $route->setRequirement('_scheme', 'https'); ``` After: ```yaml article_edit: path: /article/{id} methods: [POST, PUT] schemes: https requirements: { 'id': '\d+' } ``` ```xml \d+ ``` ```php $route = new Route(); $route->setPath('/article/{id}'); $route->setMethods(array('POST', 'PUT')); $route->setSchemes('https'); ``` * The `ApacheMatcherDumper` and `ApacheUrlMatcher` were removed since the performance gains were minimal and it's hard to replicate the behaviour of PHP implementation. * The `getMatcherDumperInstance()` and `getGeneratorDumperInstance()` methods in the `Symfony\Component\Routing\Router` have been changed from `public` to `protected`. * Use the constants defined in the UrlGeneratorInterface for the $referenceType argument of the UrlGeneratorInterface::generate method. Before: ```php // url generated in controller $this->generateUrl('blog_show', array('slug' => 'my-blog-post'), true); // url generated in @router service $router->generate('blog_show', array('slug' => 'my-blog-post'), true); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Routing\Generator\UrlGeneratorInterface; // url generated in controller $this->generateUrl('blog_show', array('slug' => 'my-blog-post'), UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL); // url generated in @router service $router->generate('blog_show', array('slug' => 'my-blog-post'), UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL); ``` ### Security * The `vote()` method from the `VoterInterface` was changed to now accept arbitrary types and not only objects. You can rely on the new abstract `Voter` class introduced in 2.8 to ease integrating your own voters. * The `AbstractVoter` class was removed in favor of the new `Voter` class. * The `Resources/` directory was moved to `Core/Resources/` * The `key` settings of `anonymous`, `remember_me` and `http_digest` are renamed to `secret`. Before: ```yaml security: # ... firewalls: default: # ... anonymous: { key: "%secret%" } remember_me: key: "%secret%" http_digest: key: "%secret%" ``` ```xml ``` ```php // ... $container->loadFromExtension('security', array( // ... 'firewalls' => array( // ... 'anonymous' => array('key' => '%secret%'), 'remember_me' => array('key' => '%secret%'), 'http_digest' => array('key' => '%secret%'), ), )); ``` After: ```yaml security: # ... firewalls: default: # ... anonymous: { secret: "%secret%" } remember_me: secret: "%secret%" http_digest: secret: "%secret%" ``` ```xml ``` ```php // ... $container->loadFromExtension('security', array( // ... 'firewalls' => array( // ... 'anonymous' => array('secret' => '%secret%'), 'remember_me' => array('secret' => '%secret%'), 'http_digest' => array('secret' => '%secret%'), ), )); ``` * The `AbstractVoter` class was removed. Instead, extend the new `Voter` class, introduced in 2.8, and move your voting logic to the to the `supports($attribute, $subject)` and `voteOnAttribute($attribute, $object, TokenInterface $token)` methods. * The `vote()` method from the `VoterInterface` was changed to now accept arbitrary types, and not only objects. * The `supportsClass` and `supportsAttribute` methods were removed from the `VoterInterface` interface. Before: ```php class MyVoter extends AbstractVoter { protected function getSupportedAttributes() { return array('CREATE', 'EDIT'); } protected function getSupportedClasses() { return array('AppBundle\Entity\Post'); } // ... } ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Authorization\Voter\Voter; class MyVoter extends Voter { protected function supports($attribute, $object) { return $object instanceof Post && in_array($attribute, array('CREATE', 'EDIT')); } protected function voteOnAttribute($attribute, $object, TokenInterface $token) { // Return true or false } } ``` * The `AbstractVoter::isGranted()` method has been replaced by `Voter::voteOnAttribute()`. Before: ```php class MyVoter extends AbstractVoter { protected function isGranted($attribute, $object, $user = null) { return 'EDIT' === $attribute && $user === $object->getAuthor(); } // ... } ``` After: ```php class MyVoter extends Voter { protected function voteOnAttribute($attribute, $object, TokenInterface $token) { return 'EDIT' === $attribute && $token->getUser() === $object->getAuthor(); } // ... } ``` * The `supportsAttribute()` and `supportsClass()` methods of the `AuthenticatedVoter`, `ExpressionVoter`, and `RoleVoter` classes have been removed. * The `intention` option was renamed to `csrf_token_id` for all the authentication listeners. * The `csrf_provider` option was renamed to `csrf_token_generator` for all the authentication listeners. ### SecurityBundle * The `intention` firewall listener setting was renamed to `csrf_token_id`. * The `csrf_provider` firewall listener setting was renamed to `csrf_token_generator`. ### Serializer * The `setCamelizedAttributes()` method of the `Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\GetSetMethodNormalizer` and `Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\PropertyNormalizer` classes was removed. * The `Symfony\Component\Serializer\Exception\Exception` interface was removed in favor of the new `Symfony\Component\Serializer\Exception\ExceptionInterface`. ### Translator * The `Translator::setFallbackLocale()` method has been removed in favor of `Translator::setFallbackLocales()`. * The visibility of the `locale` property has been changed from protected to private. Rely on `getLocale` and `setLocale` instead. Before: ```php class CustomTranslator extends Translator { public function fooMethod() { // get locale $locale = $this->locale; // update locale $this->locale = $locale; } } ``` After: ```php class CustomTranslator extends Translator { public function fooMethod() { // get locale $locale = $this->getLocale(); // update locale $this->setLocale($locale); } } ``` * The method `FileDumper::format()` was removed. You should use `FileDumper::formatCatalogue()` instead. Before: ```php class CustomDumper extends FileDumper { protected function format(MessageCatalogue $messages, $domain) { ... } } ``` After: ```php class CustomDumper extends FileDumper { public function formatCatalogue(MessageCatalogue $messages, $domain, array $options = array()) { ... } } ``` * The `getMessages()` method of the `Symfony\Component\Translation\Translator` class was removed. You should use the `getCatalogue()` method of the `Symfony\Component\Translation\TranslatorBagInterface`. ### Twig Bridge * The `twig:lint` command has been deprecated since Symfony 2.7 and will be removed in Symfony 3.0. Use the `lint:twig` command instead. * The `render` tag is deprecated in favor of the `render` function. * The `form_enctype` helper was removed. You should use the new `form_start` function instead. Before: ```php
...
``` After: ```jinja {{ form_start(form) }} ... {{ form_end(form) }} ``` The method and action of the form default to "POST" and the current document. If you want to change these values, you can set them explicitly in the controller. Alternative 1: ```php $form = $this->createForm('my_form', $formData, array( 'method' => 'PUT', 'action' => $this->generateUrl('target_route'), )); ``` Alternative 2: ```php $form = $this->createFormBuilder($formData) // ... ->setMethod('PUT') ->setAction($this->generateUrl('target_route')) ->getForm(); ``` It is also possible to override the method and the action in the template: ```jinja {{ form_start(form, {'method': 'GET', 'action': 'http://example.com'}) }} ... {{ form_end(form) }} ``` ### TwigBundle * The `Symfony\Bundle\TwigBundle\TwigDefaultEscapingStrategy` was removed in favor of `Twig_FileExtensionEscapingStrategy`. * The `twig:debug` command has been deprecated since Symfony 2.7 and will be removed in Symfony 3.0. Use the `debug:twig` command instead. ### Validator * The PHP7-incompatible constraints (`Null`, `True`, `False`) and their related validators (`NullValidator`, `TrueValidator`, `FalseValidator`) have been removed in favor of their `Is`-prefixed equivalent. * The class `Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\Cache\ApcCache` has been removed in favor of `Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\Cache\DoctrineCache`. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\Cache\ApcCache; $cache = new ApcCache('symfony.validator'); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\Cache\DoctrineCache; use Doctrine\Common\Cache\ApcCache; $apcCache = new ApcCache(); $apcCache->setNamespace('symfony.validator'); $cache = new DoctrineCache($apcCache); ``` * The constraints `Optional` and `Required` were moved to the `Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\` namespace. You should adapt the path wherever you used them. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert; /** * @Assert\Collection({ * "foo" = @Assert\Collection\Required(), * "bar" = @Assert\Collection\Optional(), * }) */ private $property; ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert; /** * @Assert\Collection({ * "foo" = @Assert\Required(), * "bar" = @Assert\Optional(), * }) */ private $property; ``` * The option "`methods`" of the `Callback` constraint was removed. You should use the option "`callback`" instead. If you have multiple callbacks, add multiple callback constraints instead. Before (YAML): ```yaml constraints: - Callback: [firstCallback, secondCallback] ``` After (YAML): ```yaml constraints: - Callback: firstCallback - Callback: secondCallback ``` When using annotations, you can now put the `Callback` constraint directly on the method that should be executed. Before (Annotations): ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert; use Symfony\Component\Validator\ExecutionContextInterface; /** * @Assert\Callback({"callback"}) */ class MyClass { public function callback(ExecutionContextInterface $context) { // ... } } ``` After (Annotations): ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert; use Symfony\Component\Validator\ExecutionContextInterface; class MyClass { /** * @Assert\Callback */ public function callback(ExecutionContextInterface $context) { // ... } } ``` * The interface `ValidatorInterface` was replaced by the more powerful interface `Validator\ValidatorInterface`. The signature of the `validate()` method is slightly different in that interface and accepts a value, zero or more constraints and validation group. It replaces both `validate()` and `validateValue()` in the previous interface. Before: ```php $validator->validate($object, 'Strict'); $validator->validateValue($value, new NotNull()); ``` After: ```php $validator->validate($object, null, 'Strict'); $validator->validate($value, new NotNull()); ``` Apart from this change, the new methods `startContext()` and `inContext()` were added. The first of them allows to run multiple validations in the same context and aggregate their violations: ```php $violations = $validator->startContext() ->atPath('firstName')->validate($firstName, new NotNull()) ->atPath('age')->validate($age, new Type('integer')) ->getViolations(); ``` The second allows to run validation in an existing context. This is especially useful when calling the validator from within constraint validators: ```php $validator->inContext($context)->validate($object); ``` Instead of a `Validator`, the validator builder now returns a `Validator\RecursiveValidator` instead. * The interface `ValidationVisitorInterface` and its implementation `ValidationVisitor` were removed. The implementation of the visitor pattern was flawed. Fixing that implementation would have drastically slowed down the validator execution, so the visitor was removed completely instead. Along with the visitor, the method `accept()` was removed from `MetadataInterface`. * The interface `MetadataInterface` was moved to the `Mapping` namespace. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\MetadataInterface; ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\MetadataInterface; ``` The methods `getCascadingStrategy()` and `getTraversalStrategy()` were added to the interface. The first method should return a bit mask of the constants in class `CascadingStrategy`. The second should return a bit mask of the constants in `TraversalStrategy`. Example: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\TraversalStrategy; public function getTraversalStrategy() { return TraversalStrategy::TRAVERSE; } ``` * The interface `PropertyMetadataInterface` was moved to the `Mapping` namespace. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\PropertyMetadataInterface; ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\PropertyMetadataInterface; ``` * The interface `PropertyMetadataContainerInterface` was moved to the `Mapping` namespace and renamed to `ClassMetadataInterface`. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\PropertyMetadataContainerInterface; ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadataInterface; ``` The interface now contains four additional methods: * `getConstrainedProperties()` * `hasGroupSequence()` * `getGroupSequence()` * `isGroupSequenceProvider()` See the inline documentation of these methods for more information. * The interface `ClassBasedInterface` was removed. You should use `Mapping\ClassMetadataInterface` instead: Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\ClassBasedInterface; class MyClassMetadata implements ClassBasedInterface { // ... } ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadataInterface; class MyClassMetadata implements ClassMetadataInterface { // ... } ``` * The class `ElementMetadata` was renamed to `GenericMetadata`. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ElementMetadata; class MyMetadata extends ElementMetadata { } ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\GenericMetadata; class MyMetadata extends GenericMetadata { } ``` * The interface `ExecutionContextInterface` and its implementation `ExecutionContext` were moved to the `Context` namespace. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\ExecutionContextInterface; ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Context\ExecutionContextInterface; ``` The interface now contains the following additional methods: * `getValidator()` * `getObject()` * `setNode()` * `setGroup()` * `markGroupAsValidated()` * `isGroupValidated()` * `markConstraintAsValidated()` * `isConstraintValidated()` See the inline documentation of these methods for more information. The method `addViolationAt()` was removed. You should use `buildViolation()` instead. Before: ```php $context->addViolationAt('property', 'The value {{ value }} is invalid.', array( '{{ value }}' => $invalidValue, )); ``` After: ```php $context->buildViolation('The value {{ value }} is invalid.') ->atPath('property') ->setParameter('{{ value }}', $invalidValue) ->addViolation(); ``` The methods `validate()` and `validateValue()` were removed. You should use `getValidator()` together with `inContext()` instead. Before: ```php $context->validate($object); ``` After: ```php $context->getValidator() ->inContext($context) ->validate($object); ``` The parameters `$invalidValue`, `$plural` and `$code` were removed from `addViolation()`. You should use `buildViolation()` instead. See above for an example. The method `getMetadataFactory()` was removed. You can use `getValidator()` instead and use the methods `getMetadataFor()` or `hasMetadataFor()` on the validator instance. Before: ```php $metadata = $context->getMetadataFactory()->getMetadataFor($myClass); ``` After: ```php $metadata = $context->getValidator()->getMetadataFor($myClass); ``` * The interface `GlobalExecutionContextInterface` was removed. Most of the information provided by that interface can be queried from `Context\ExecutionContextInterface` instead. * The interface `MetadataFactoryInterface` was moved to the `Mapping\Factory` namespace along with its implementations `BlackholeMetadataFactory` and `ClassMetadataFactory`. These classes were furthermore renamed to `BlackHoleMetadataFactory` and `LazyLoadingMetadataFactory`. Before: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\ClassMetadataFactory; $factory = new ClassMetadataFactory($loader); ``` After: ```php use Symfony\Component\Validator\Mapping\Factory\LazyLoadingMetadataFactory; $factory = new LazyLoadingMetadataFactory($loader); ``` * The option `$deep` was removed from the constraint `Valid`. When traversing arrays, nested arrays are always traversed (same behavior as before). When traversing nested objects, their traversal strategy is used. * The method `ValidatorBuilder::setPropertyAccessor()` was removed. The validator now functions without a property accessor. * The methods `getMessageParameters()` and `getMessagePluralization()` in `ConstraintViolation` were renamed to `getParameters()` and `getPlural()`. Before: ```php $parameters = $violation->getMessageParameters(); $plural = $violation->getMessagePluralization(); ``` After: ```php $parameters = $violation->getParameters(); $plural = $violation->getPlural(); ``` * The class `Symfony\Component\Validator\DefaultTranslator` was removed. You should use `Symfony\Component\Translation\IdentityTranslator` instead. Before: ```php $translator = new \Symfony\Component\Validator\DefaultTranslator(); ``` After: ```php $translator = new \Symfony\Component\Translation\IdentityTranslator(); $translator->setLocale('en'); ``` ### Yaml * Using a colon in an unquoted mapping value leads to a `ParseException`. * Starting an unquoted string with `@`, `` ` ``, `|`, or `>` leads to a `ParseException`. * When surrounding strings with double-quotes, you must now escape `\` characters. Not escaping those characters (when surrounded by double-quotes) leads to a `ParseException`. Before: ```yml class: "Foo\Var" ``` After: ```yml class: "Foo\\Var" ``` * The ability to pass file names to `Yaml::parse()` has been removed. Before: ```php Yaml::parse($fileName); ``` After: ```php Yaml::parse(file_get_contents($fileName)); ``` ### WebProfiler * The `profiler:import` and `profiler:export` commands have been removed. * All the profiler storages different than `FileProfilerStorage` have been removed. The removed classes are: - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\BaseMemcacheProfilerStorage` - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\MemcachedProfilerStorage` - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\MemcacheProfilerStorage` - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\MongoDbProfilerStorage` - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\MysqlProfilerStorage` - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\PdoProfilerStorage` - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\RedisProfilerStorage` - `Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Profiler\SqliteProfilerStorage` ### Process * `Process::setStdin()` and `Process::getStdin()` have been removed. Use `Process::setInput()` and `Process::getInput()` that works the same way. * `Process::setInput()` and `ProcessBuilder::setInput()` do not accept non-scalar types. ### Monolog Bridge * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::emerg()` was removed. Use `emergency()` which is PSR-3 compatible. * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::crit()` was removed. Use `critical()` which is PSR-3 compatible. * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::err()` was removed. Use `error()` which is PSR-3 compatible. * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::warn()` was removed. Use `warning()` which is PSR-3 compatible. ### Swiftmailer Bridge * `Symfony\Bridge\Swiftmailer\DataCollector\MessageDataCollector` was removed. Use the `Symfony\Bundle\SwiftmailerBundle\DataCollector\MessageDataCollector` class instead. ### HttpFoundation * The precedence of parameters returned from `Request::get()` changed from "GET, PATH, BODY" to "PATH, GET, BODY" * `Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Flash\FlashBagInterface` no longer implements the `IteratorAggregate` interface. Use the `all()` method instead of iterating over the flash bag. * Removed the feature that allowed finding deep items in `ParameterBag::get()`. This may affect you when getting parameters from the `Request` class: Before: ```php $request->query->get('foo[bar]', null, true); ``` After: ```php $request->query->get('foo')['bar']; ``` ### Monolog Bridge * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::emerg()` was removed. Use `emergency()` which is PSR-3 compatible. * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::crit()` was removed. Use `critical()` which is PSR-3 compatible. * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::err()` was removed. Use `error()` which is PSR-3 compatible. * `Symfony\Bridge\Monolog\Logger::warn()` was removed. Use `warning()` which is PSR-3 compatible.
