Ability to load routes from objects/services

[xabbuh]

see symfony/symfony#15742

[dbu]

@weaverryan any chance you work on this soon? would love to mention it in my "routing under the hood" talk at the symfony user group meeting in zurich next week... i see what you did, but am not sure how one would actually go about using it in a project.

[dbu]

can i just say resource: service_id in my routing file?

[wouterj]

@dbu yes, like this:

admin_routes:
    resource: 'admin_route_loader:loadRoutes'
    type: service # <-- very important

This calls the loadRoutes() method of the admin_route_loader service

[weaverryan]

Thanks Wouter - it's exactly as you said :).

I probably won't doc this before then, so hopefully this will get you going - happy you're chatting about it!

We don't cover the route "loaders" anywhere now, so I'm not sure where to put this. Maybe a tiny cookbook article called "How to load routes from a Service"?

Just found out about this feature, works pretty nicely!

@weaverryan I'd expect to find a reference in this guide. That is the one I found when searching for how to load routes from other sources (like from the db).

@nicoschoenmaker want to do a pull request to add it to that cookbook article? (against the 2.8 branch)
