BFPrgBundle

The BFPrgBundle adds support for masking urls based on PRG-Pattern.

For more information about this pattern please take a closer look to the following url: Post/Redirect/Get

Note: This bundle is built for use in a symfony application.

Installation & Setup

1. Run composer require burdaforward/bf-prg-bundle or download teh bundle to you local vendor directory

2. Activate this bundle

   • It should be activated automatically if you have Symfony Flex installed
   • Manually via src/Kernel.php or config/bundles.php

   ...
   
   class Kernel extends BaseKernel
   {
       ... 
       
       public function registerBundles()
       {
           $bundles = array(
               ...
               
               new BurdaForward\BFPrgBundle\BFPrgBundle(),
               
               ...
           );
   
           return $bundles;
       }
   
       ...
   }

3. Add the bundle to your routing configuration like config/routes.yaml

     prg:
        resource: "@BFPrgBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"

   This routing.yml enables a required route /prg_resolve.

4. In the last step you need to include the basic template of that bundle into your templates.

   (Best position is before closing body tag.)

   {% include '@BFPrg/prg_form.html.twig' %}  

Usage & Examples

The bundle provides a twig function you can call in your templates.

Function name: prg_link
Function parameter:
    url: Destination URL including GET parameter
    title: Label  of the masked link. e.g. <a href="#">TITLE</a>
    options: This is an array the supports the following options.
        class: you can set the css class of the rendered element
        element: the default is "span" but if you want to render a "button", "div" or "a" you can set it with this option
        target: you can define if the link should open in the same window (default value) or in a new one 
                valid values are
                    - _self (same frame)
                    - _top (same window
                    - _blank (new window)
        only_open_tag: has to be set true or false - the result will only return the opening tag of a prg link 
                       ATTENTION: You have to close the tag by yourself.

Basic example:

{{ prg_link('http://example.org?q=sample', 'Click me')|raw }}

Result: <span class="prg-link" data-submit="aHR0cDovL2V4YW1wbGUub3JnP3E9c2FtcGxl"  data-target="_self">Click me</span>

Stylesheet example:

{{ prg_link('http://example.org?q=sample', 'Click me', {class: 'my-link'})|raw }}

Result: <span class="prg-link my-link" data-submit="aHR0cDovL2V4YW1wbGUub3JnP3E9c2FtcGxl"  data-target="_self">Click me</span>

Target example

{{ prg_link('http://example.org?q=sample', 'Click me', {target: '_blank'})|raw }}

Result: <span class="prg-link" data-submit="aHR0cDovL2V4YW1wbGUub3JnP3E9c2FtcGxl" data-target="_blank">Click me</span>

Element example:

{{ prg_link('http://example.org?q=sample', 'Click me', {element: 'button'})|raw }}

Result: <button class="prg-link" data-submit="aHR0cDovL2V4YW1wbGUub3JnP3E9c2FtcGxl" data-target="_self">Click me</button>

{{ prg_link('http://example.org?q=sample', 'Title will be ignored', {only_open_tag: true)|raw }}

Result: <span class="prg-link" data-submit="aHR0cDovL2V4YW1wbGUub3JnP3E9c2FtcGxl" data-target="_self">
