New in Symfony 6.2: DX Improvements

DX (developer experience) is defined by the tools, processes, and software that a developer uses when interacting with a product or system. In Symfony we're constantly improving DX and in this post we highlight some of the best Symfony 6.2 DX improvements.

Simpler Way to get Current Route in Templates

Contributed by
Jules Pietri
in #47535.

The app global variable is a context object which provides quick access to some the most commonly accessed objects in templates (the User object, the Request object, the session, etc.)

In Symfony 6.2 we're improving this global object to also expose the current route name and parameters:

ul>
    {# Before #}
    li class="{{ 'some_route' == app.request.attributes.get('_route') ? 'active' }}">...li>

    {# After #}
    li class="{{ 'some_route' == app.current_route ? 'active' }}">...li>

    {# ... #}
ul>

In addition to app.current_route you can also use app.current_route_parameters to get the parameters used to generate the URL of the route.

Better Guessing of PHP Config Typehints

Contributed by
Jérémy Derussé
in #44166.

In Symfony 5.3 we introduced config builders to allow you configure Symfony applications in PHP using a fluent interface instead of plain arrays. This works thanks to some PHP classes that Symfony builds automatically based on the configuration definition.

In Symfony 6.2 we're improving the generation of those PHP classes to guess some types with more precision. In practice, this will improve the autocomplete of your IDE and the results of your static analysis tools:

// Real example of an automatically generated PHP config builder method
// Before:
public function someMethod(mixed $value): static
{
    // ...
}

// After:
public function someMethod(ParamConfigurator|string|array $value): static
{
    // ...
}

Hidding Sensitive Information

Contributed by
Jérôme Tamarelle
in #46183.

PHP 8.2 added a #[SensitiveParameter] attribute as a way to hide sensitive information (e.g. passwords) in back traces. In Symfony 6.2 we've added that attribute to tens of PHP classes to hide sensitive information like security tokens, passwords, authentication secrets, etc.

When updating to Symfony 6.2, you'll no longer see those kind of values in your logs, back traces, etc.

Simpler Form Rendering

Contributed by
Nicolas Grekas
in #46854.

When passing a Symfony form from a controller to a Twig template, you need to call createView() method on the form:

return $this->render('some/template.html.twig', [
    'form' => $form->createView(),
]);

In Symfony 5.3 we introduced a form handler helper where you could use a $this->renderForm() method instead and pass the $form object directly. In Symfony 6.2 we're deprecating that method and making the existing render() method smarter, so you can pass $form objects directly and Symfony will call the createView() method on them automatically:

return $this->render('some/template.html.twig', [
    // no need to call "createView()" explicitly
    'form' => $form,
]);
            <hr style="margin-bottom: 5px" />
            <div style="font-size: 90%">
                <a href="https://symfony.com/sponsor">Sponsor</a> the Symfony project.
            </div>
