The FrameworkBundle defines the main framework configuration, from sessions and translations to forms, validation, routing and more. All these options are configured under the framework
key in your application configuration.
1 2 3 4 5
# displays the default config values defined by Symfony
$ php bin/console config:dump-reference framework
# displays the actual config values used by your application
$ php bin/console debug:config framework
type: string
default: php_array
This option can be one of the following values:
- php_array
- Use a PHP array to cache annotations in memory
- file
- Use the filesystem to cache annotations
- none
- Disable the caching of annotations
type: boolean
default: %kernel.debug%
Whether to enable debug mode for caching. If enabled, the cache will automatically update when the original file is changed (both with code and annotation changes). For performance reasons, it is recommended to disable debug mode in production, which will happen automatically if you use the default value.
type: string
default: %kernel.cache_dir%/annotations
The directory to store cache files for annotations, in case annotations.cache
is set to 'file'
.
type: string
This option allows you to define a base path to be used for assets:
1 2 3 4 5
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
assets:
base_path: '/images'
type: array
This option allows you to define base URLs to be used for assets. If multiple base URLs are provided, Symfony will select one from the collection each time it generates an asset's path:
1 2 3 4 5 6
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
assets:
base_urls:
- 'http://cdn.example.com/'
type: string
default: null
The file path or absolute URL to a manifest.json
file containing an associative array of asset names and their respective compiled names. A common cache-busting technique using a "manifest" file works by writing out assets with a "hash" appended to their file names (e.g. main.ae433f1cb.css
) during a front-end compilation routine.
This option can be set globally for all assets and individually for each asset package:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
assets:
# this manifest is applied to every asset (including packages)
json_manifest_path: "%kernel.project_dir%/public/build/manifest.json"
# you can use absolute URLs too and Symfony will download them automatically
# json_manifest_path: 'https://cdn.example.com/manifest.json'
packages:
foo_package:
# this package uses its own manifest (the default file is ignored)
json_manifest_path: "%kernel.project_dir%/public/build/a_different_manifest.json"
# Throws an exception when an asset is not found in the manifest
strict_mode: %kernel.debug%
bar_package:
# this package uses the global manifest (the default file is used)
base_path: '/images'
You can group assets into packages, to specify different base URLs for them:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
assets:
packages:
avatars:
base_urls: 'http://static_cdn.example.com/avatars'
Now you can use the avatars
package in your templates:
1
<img src="{{ asset('...', 'avatars') }}">
Each package can configure the following options:
type: boolean
default: false
When enabled, the strict mode asserts that all requested assets are in the manifest file. This option is useful to detect typos or missing assets, the recommended value is %kernel.debug%
.
type: string
This option is used to bust the cache on assets by globally adding a query parameter to all rendered asset paths (e.g. /images/logo.png?v2
). This applies only to assets rendered via the Twig asset()
function (or PHP equivalent).
For example, suppose you have the following:
1
<img src="{{ asset('images/logo.png') }}" alt="Symfony!"/>
By default, this will render a path to your image such as /images/logo.png
. Now, activate the version
option:
1 2 3 4 5
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
assets:
version: 'v2'
Now, the same asset will be rendered as /images/logo.png?v2
If you use this feature, you must manually increment the version
value before each deployment so that the query parameters change.
You can also control how the query string works via the version_format option.
type: string
default: %%s?%%s
This specifies a sprintf pattern that will be used with the version option to construct an asset's path. By default, the pattern adds the asset's version as a query string. For example, if version_format
is set to %%s?version=%%s
and version
is set to 5
, the asset's path would be /images/logo.png?version=5
.
type: string
default: null
The service id of the asset version strategy applied to the assets. This option can be set globally for all assets and individually for each asset package:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
assets:
# this strategy is applied to every asset (including packages)
version_strategy: 'app.asset.my_versioning_strategy'
packages:
foo_package:
# this package removes any versioning (its assets won't be versioned)
version: ~
bar_package:
# this package uses its own strategy (the default strategy is ignored)
version_strategy: 'app.asset.another_version_strategy'
baz_package:
# this package inherits the default strategy
base_path: '/images'
type: string
default: cache.adapter.filesystem
The cache adapter used by the cache.app
service. The FrameworkBundle ships with multiple adapters: cache.adapter.apcu
, cache.adapter.system
, cache.adapter.filesystem
, cache.adapter.psr6
, cache.adapter.redis
, cache.adapter.memcached
, cache.adapter.pdo
and cache.adapter.doctrine_dbal
.
There's also a special adapter called cache.adapter.array
which stores contents in memory using a PHP array and it's used to disable caching (mostly on the dev
environment).
type: string
The service name to use as your default Doctrine provider. The provider is available as the cache.default_doctrine_provider
service.
type: string
default: memcached://localhost
The DSN to use by the Memcached provider. The provider is available as the cache.default_memcached_provider
service.
type: string
default: doctrine.dbal.default_connection
The service id of the database connection, which should be either a PDO or a Doctrine DBAL instance. The provider is available as the cache.default_pdo_provider
service.
type: string
The service name to use as your default PSR-6 provider. It is available as the cache.default_psr6_provider
service.
type: string
default: redis://localhost
The DSN to use by the Redis provider. The provider is available as the cache.default_redis_provider
service.
type: string
default: %kernel.cache_dir%/pools
The path to the cache directory used by services inheriting from the cache.adapter.filesystem
adapter (including cache.app
).
type: array
A list of cache pools to be created by the framework extension.
To configure a Redis cache pool with a default lifetime of 1 hour, do the following:
type: string
default: cache.app
The service name of the adapter to use. You can specify one of the default services that follow the pattern cache.adapter.[type]
. Alternatively you can specify another cache pool as base, which will make this pool inherit the settings from the base pool as defaults.
type: string
The cache clearer used to clear your PSR-6 cache.
type: integer
| string
Default lifetime of your cache items. Give an integer value to set the default lifetime in seconds. A string value could be ISO 8601 time interval, like "PT5M"
or a PHP date expression that is accepted by strtotime()
, like "5 minutes"
.
If no value is provided, the cache adapter will fallback to the default value on the actual cache storage.
type:
Name of the pool you want to create.
type: string
Overwrite the default service name or DSN respectively, if you do not want to use what is configured as default_X_provider
under cache
. See the description of the default provider setting above for information on how to specify your specific provider.
type: boolean
default: false
Whether your service should be public or not.
type: boolean
| string
default: null
Whether your service should be able to handle tags or not. Can also be the service id of another cache pool where tags will be stored.
type: string
default: _%kernel.project_dir%.%kernel.container_class%
This value is used as part of the "namespace" generated for the cache item keys. A common practice is to use the unique name of the application (e.g. symfony.com
) because that prevents naming collisions when deploying multiple applications into the same path (on different servers) that share the same cache backend.
It's also useful when using blue/green deployment strategies and more generally, when you need to abstract out the actual deployment directory (for example, when warming caches offline).
type: string
default: cache.adapter.system
The cache adapter used by the cache.system
service. It supports the same adapters available for the cache.app
service.
type: boolean
default: true
or false
depending on your installation
This option can be used to disable CSRF protection on all forms. But you can also disable CSRF protection on individual forms.
1 2 3 4
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
csrf_protection: true
If you're using forms, but want to avoid starting your session (e.g. using forms in an API-only website), csrf_protection
will need to be set to false
.
type: array
default: []
The list of CSRF token ids that will use stateless CSRF protection.
type: integer
or bool
default: false
Whether to check the CSRF token in an HTTP header in addition to the cookie when using stateless CSRF protection. You can also set this to 2
(the value of the CHECK_ONLY_HEADER
constant on the SameOriginCsrfTokenManager class) to check only the header and ignore the cookie.
type: string
default: csrf-token
The name of the cookie (and HTTP header) to use for the double-submit when using stateless CSRF protection.
type: string
default: en
The default locale is used if no _locale
routing parameter has been set. It is available with the Request::getDefaultLocale method.
type: array
default: []
(empty array = enable all locales)
Symfony applications generate by default the translation files for validation and security messages in all locales. If your application only uses some locales, use this option to restrict the files generated by Symfony and improve performance a bit:
1 2 3
# config/packages/translation.yaml
framework:
enabled_locales: ['en', 'es']
An added bonus of defining the enabled locales is that they are automatically added as a requirement of the special _locale parameter. For example, if you define this value as ['ar', 'he', 'ja', 'zh']
, the _locale
routing parameter will have an ar|he|ja|zh
requirement. If some user makes requests with a locale not included in this option, they'll see a 404 error.
type: boolean
default: false
If this option is set to true
, the response will have a Content-Language
HTTP header set with the Request
locale.
type: boolean
default: false
If this option is set to true
, the Request
locale will automatically be set to the value of the Accept-Language
HTTP header.
When the _locale
request attribute is passed, the Accept-Language
header is ignored.
type: boolean
default: true
when the debug mode is enabled, false
otherwise.
If true
, Symfony adds a X-Robots-Tag: noindex
HTTP tag to all responses (unless your own app adds that header, in which case it's not modified). This X-Robots-Tag HTTP header tells search engines to not index your web site. This option is a protection measure in case you accidentally publish your site in debug mode.
type: string
default: error_controller
This is the controller that is called when an exception is thrown anywhere in your application. The default controller (ErrorController) renders specific templates under different error conditions (see How to Customize Error Pages).
type: boolean
default: false
Whether to enable the edge side includes support in the framework.
You can also set esi
to true
to enable it:
1 2 3
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
esi: true
type: array
Defines the log level, log channel and HTTP status code applied to the exceptions that match the given exception class:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
# config/packages/exceptions.yaml
framework:
exceptions:
Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\BadRequestHttpException:
log_level: 'debug'
status_code: 422
log_channel: 'custom_channel'
The order in which you configure exceptions is important because Symfony will use the configuration of the first exception that matches instanceof
:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
# config/packages/exceptions.yaml
framework:
exceptions:
Exception:
log_level: 'debug'
status_code: 404
# The following configuration will never be used because \RuntimeException extends \Exception
RuntimeException:
log_level: 'debug'
status_code: 422
You can map a status code and a set of headers to an exception thanks to the #[WithHttpStatus]
attribute on the exception class:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
namespace App\Exception;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Attribute\WithHttpStatus;
#[WithHttpStatus(422, [
'Retry-After' => 10,
'X-Custom-Header' => 'header-value',
])]
class CustomException extends \Exception
{
}
It is also possible to map a log level on a custom exception class using the #[WithLogLevel]
attribute:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
namespace App\Exception;
use Psr\Log\LogLevel;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Attribute\WithLogLevel;
#[WithLogLevel(LogLevel::WARNING)]
class CustomException extends \Exception
{
}
The attributes can also be added to interfaces directly:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
namespace App\Exception;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Attribute\WithHttpStatus;
#[WithHttpStatus(422)]
interface CustomExceptionInterface
{
}
class CustomException extends \Exception implements CustomExceptionInterface
{
}
type: boolean
default: true
or false
depending on your installation
Whether to enable the form services or not in the service container. If you don't use forms, setting this to false
may increase your application's performance because less services will be loaded into the container.
This option will automatically be set to true
when one of the child settings is configured.
type: string
default: _token
This is the field name that you should give to the CSRF token field of your forms.
type: array
default: ['data-controller' => 'csrf-protection']
HTML attributes to add to the CSRF token field of your forms.
type: string
default: null
The CSRF token ID used to validate the CSRF tokens of your forms. This setting applies only to form types that use service autoconfiguration, which typically means your own form types, not those registered by third-party bundles.
type: boolean
default: false
Whether to enable the fragment listener or not. The fragment listener is used to render ESI fragments independently of the rest of the page.
This setting is automatically set to true
when one of the child settings is configured.
type: string
default: null
Sets the content shown during the loading of the fragment or when JavaScript is disabled. This can be either a template name or the content itself.
type: string
default: /_fragment
The path prefix for fragments. The fragment listener will only be executed when the request starts with this path.
type: boolean
default: true
When set to true
, the Symfony kernel will catch all \Throwable
exceptions thrown by the application and will turn them into HTTP responses.
The html_sanitizer
option (and its children) are used to configure custom HTML sanitizers. Read more about the options in the HTML sanitizer documentation.
type: boolean
default: false
Specifies whether the client can force a cache reload by including a Cache-Control "no-cache" directive in the request. Set it to true
for compliance with RFC 2616.
type: boolean
default: false
Specifies whether the client can force a cache revalidate by including a Cache-Control "max-age=0" directive in the request. Set it to true
for compliance with RFC 2616.
type: boolean
default: %kernel.debug%
If true, exceptions are thrown when things go wrong. Otherwise, the cache will try to carry on and deliver a meaningful response.
type: integer
default: 0
The number of seconds that a cache entry should be considered fresh when no explicit freshness information is provided in a response. Explicit Cache-Control or Expires headers override this value.
type: boolean
default: false
type: array
default: ['Authorization', 'Cookie']
Set of request headers that trigger "private" cache-control behavior on responses that don't explicitly state whether the response is public or private via a Cache-Control directive.
type: array
default: Set-Cookie
Set of response headers that will never be cached even when the response is cacheable and public.
type: integer
default: 60
Specifies the default number of seconds (the granularity is the second) during which the cache can serve a stale response when an error is encountered. This setting is overridden by the stale-if-error HTTP Cache-Control extension (see RFC 5861).
type: integer
default: 2
Specifies the default number of seconds (the granularity is the second as the Response TTL precision is a second) during which the cache can immediately return a stale response while it revalidates it in the background. This setting is overridden by the stale-while-revalidate HTTP Cache-Control extension (see RFC 5861).
type: string
default: 'X-Symfony-Cache'
Header name to use for traces.
type: string
possible values: 'none'
, 'short'
or 'full'
For 'short', a concise trace of the main request will be added as an HTTP header. 'full' will add traces for all requests (including ESI subrequests). (default: 'full'
if in debug; 'none'
otherwise)
When the HttpClient component is installed, an HTTP client is available as a service named http_client
or using the autowiring alias HttpClientInterface.
This service can be configured using framework.http_client.default_options
:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
http_client:
max_host_connections: 10
default_options:
headers: { 'X-Powered-By': 'ACME App' }
max_redirects: 7
Multiple pre-configured HTTP client services can be defined, each with its service name defined as a key under scoped_clients
. Scoped clients inherit the default options defined for the http_client
service. You can override these options and can define a few others:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
http_client:
scoped_clients:
my_api.client:
auth_bearer: secret_bearer_token
# ...
Options defined for scoped clients apply only to URLs that match either their base_uri or the scope option when it is defined. Non-matching URLs always use default options.
Each scoped client also defines a corresponding named autowiring alias. If you use for example Symfony\Contracts\HttpClient\HttpClientInterface $myApiClient
as the type and name of an argument, autowiring will inject the my_api.client
service into your autowired classes.
type: string
The username and password used to create the Authorization
HTTP header used in HTTP Basic authentication. The value of this option must follow the format username:password
.
type: string
The token used to create the Authorization
HTTP header used in HTTP Bearer authentication (also called token authentication).
type: string
The username and password used to create the Authorization
HTTP header used in the Microsoft NTLM authentication protocol. The value of this option must follow the format username:password
. This authentication mechanism requires using the cURL-based transport.
type: string
URI that is merged into relative URIs, following the rules explained in the RFC 3986 standard. This is useful when all the requests you make share a common prefix (e.g. https://api..com/
) so you can avoid adding it to every request.
Here are some common examples of how base_uri
merging works in practice:
type: string
A network interface name, IP address, a host name or a UNIX socket to use as the outgoing network interface.
type: boolean
| Closure
Buffering the response means that you can access its content multiple times without performing the request again. Buffering is enabled by default when the content type of the response is text/*
, application/json
or application/xml
.
If this option is a boolean value, the response is buffered when the value is true
. If this option is a closure, the response is buffered when the returned value is true
(the closure receives as argument an array with the response headers).
type: string
The path of the certificate authority file that contains one or more certificates used to verify the other servers' certificates.
type: string
The path to a directory that contains one or more certificate authority files.
type: string
A list of the names of the ciphers allowed for the TLS connections. They can be separated by colons, commas or spaces (e.g. 'RC4-SHA:TLS13-AES-128-GCM-SHA256'
).
type: integer
The minimum version of TLS to accept. The value must be one of the STREAM_CRYPTO_METHOD_TLSv*_CLIENT
constants defined by PHP.
type: integer
default: 1000
The initial delay in milliseconds used to compute the waiting time between retries.
type: boolean
default: false
Whether to enable the support for retry failed HTTP request or not. This setting is automatically set to true when one of the child settings is configured.
type: array
Arbitrary additional data to pass to the HTTP client for further use. This can be particularly useful when decorating an existing client.
type: array
An associative array of the HTTP headers added before making the request. This value must use the format ['header-name' => 'value0, value1, ...']
.
type: array
default: DEFAULT_RETRY_STATUS_CODES()
The list of HTTP status codes that triggers a retry of the request.
type: string
| null
default: null
The HTTP version to use, typically '1.1'
or '2.0'
. Leave it to null
to let Symfony select the best version automatically.
type: float
default: 0.1
(must be between 0.0 and 1.0)
This option adds some randomness to the delay. It's useful to avoid sending multiple requests to the server at the exact same time. The randomness is calculated as delay * jitter
. For example: if delay is 1000ms
and jitter is 0.2
, the actual delay will be a number between 800
and 1200
(1000 +/- 20%).
type: string
The path to a file that contains the PEM formatted certificate used by the HTTP client. This is often combined with the local_pk
and passphrase
options.
type: string
The path of a file that contains the PEM formatted private key of the certificate defined in the local_cert
option.
type: integer
default: 0
The maximum amount of milliseconds initial to wait between retries. Use 0
to not limit the duration.
type: float
default: 0
The maximum execution time, in seconds, that the request and the response are allowed to take. A value lower than or equal to 0 means it is unlimited.
type: integer
default: 6
Defines the maximum amount of simultaneously open connections to a single host (considering a "host" the same as a "host name + port number" pair). This limit also applies for proxy connections, where the proxy is considered to be the host for which this limit is applied.
type: integer
default: 20
The maximum number of redirects to follow. Use 0
to not follow any redirection.
type: integer
default: 3
The maximum number of retries for failing requests. When the maximum is reached, the client returns the last received response.
type: float
default: 2
This value is multiplied to the delay each time a retry occurs, to distribute retries in time instead of making all of them sequentially.
type: string
| null
default: null
A comma separated list of hosts that do not require a proxy to be reached, even if one is configured. Use the '*'
wildcard to match all hosts and an empty string to match none (disables the proxy).
type: string
The passphrase used to encrypt the certificate stored in the file defined in the local_cert
option.
type: array
When negotiating a TLS connection, the server sends a certificate indicating its identity. A public key is extracted from this certificate and if it does not exactly match any of the public keys provided in this option, the connection is aborted before sending or receiving any data.
The value of this option is an associative array of algorithm => hash
(e.g ['pin-sha256' => '...']
).
type: string
| null
The HTTP proxy to use to make the requests. Leave it to null
to detect the proxy automatically based on your system configuration.
type: array
An associative array of the query string values added to the URL before making the request. This value must use the format ['parameter-name' => parameter-value, ...]
.
type: string
The service ID of the rate limiter used to limit the number of HTTP requests within a certain period. The service must implement the LimiterInterface.
type: array
A list of hostnames and their IP addresses to pre-populate the DNS cache used by the HTTP client in order to avoid a DNS lookup for those hosts. This option is useful to improve security when IPs are checked before the URL is passed to the client and to make your tests easier.
The value of this option is an associative array of domain => IP address
(e.g ['symfony.com' => '46.137.106.254', ...]
).
type: array
This option configures the behavior of the HTTP client when some request fails, including which types of requests to retry and how many times. The behavior is defined with the following options:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
# ...
http_client:
# ...
default_options:
retry_failed:
# retry_strategy: app.custom_strategy
http_codes:
0: ['GET', 'HEAD'] # retry network errors if request method is GET or HEAD
429: true # retry all responses with 429 status code
500: ['GET', 'HEAD']
max_retries: 2
delay: 1000
multiplier: 3
max_delay: 5000
jitter: 0.3
scoped_clients:
my_api.client:
# ...
retry_failed:
max_retries: 4
type: string
The service is used to decide if a request should be retried and to compute the time to wait between retries. By default, it uses an instance of GenericRetryStrategy configured with http_codes
, delay
, max_delay
, multiplier
and jitter
options. This class has to implement RetryStrategyInterface.
type: string
For scoped clients only: the regular expression that the URL must match before applying all other non-default options. By default, the scope is derived from base_uri.
type: float
default: depends on your PHP config
Time, in seconds, to wait for network activity. If the connection is idle for longer, a TransportException is thrown. Its default value is the same as the value of PHP's default_socket_timeout config option.
type: boolean
default: true
If true
, the certificate sent by other servers is verified to ensure that their common name matches the host included in the URL. This is usually combined with verify_peer
to also verify the certificate authenticity.
type: boolean
default: true
If true
, the certificate sent by other servers when negotiating a TLS connection is verified for authenticity. Authenticating the certificate is not enough to be sure about the server, so you should combine this with the verify_host
option.
type: boolean
default: false
This determines whether the _method
request parameter is used as the intended HTTP method on POST requests. If enabled, the Request::enableHttpMethodParameterOverride method gets called automatically. It becomes the service container parameter named kernel.http_method_override
.
type: string
default: %env(default::SYMFONY_IDE)%
Symfony turns file paths seen in variable dumps and exception messages into links that open those files right inside your browser. If you prefer to open those files in your favorite IDE or text editor, set this option to any of the following values: phpstorm
, sublime
, textmate
, macvim
, emacs
, atom
and vscode
.
If you use another editor, the expected configuration value is a URL template that contains an %f
placeholder where the file path is expected and %l
placeholder for the line number (percentage signs (%
) must be escaped by doubling them to prevent Symfony from interpreting them as container parameters).
1 2 3
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
ide: 'myide://open?url=file://%%f&line=%%l'
Since every developer uses a different IDE, the recommended way to enable this feature is to configure it on a system level. First, you can define this option in the SYMFONY_IDE
environment variable, which Symfony reads automatically when framework.ide
config is not set.
Another alternative is to set the xdebug.file_link_format
option in your php.ini
configuration file. The format to use is the same as for the framework.ide
option, but without the need to escape the percent signs (%
) by doubling them:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
// example for PhpStorm
xdebug.file_link_format="phpstorm://open?file=%f&line=%l"
// example for PhpStorm with Jetbrains Toolbox
xdebug.file_link_format="jetbrains://phpstorm/navigate/reference?project=example&path=%f:%l"
// example for Sublime Text
xdebug.file_link_format="subl://open?url=file://%f&line=%l"
type: string
| array
The default lock adapter. If not defined, the value is set to semaphore
when available, or to flock
otherwise. Store's DSN are also allowed.
type: boolean
default: true
Whether to enable the support for lock or not. This setting is automatically set to true
when one of the child settings is configured.
type: array
A map of lock stores to be created by the framework extension, with the name as key and DSN or service id as value:
1 2 3
# config/packages/lock.yaml
framework:
lock: '%env(LOCK_DSN)%'
type:
Name of the lock you want to create.
type: string
default: null
The DSN used by the mailer. When several DSN may be used, use transports

type: string
The "envelope sender" which is used as the value of MAIL FROM
during the SMTP session. This value overrides any other sender set in the code.
type: array
Headers to add to emails. The key (name
attribute in xml format) is the header name and value the header value.
type: string
default: null
or default bus if Messenger component is installed
Service identifier of the message bus to use when using the Messenger component (e.g. messenger.default_bus
).
type: array
A list of DSN that can be used by the mailer. A transport name is the key and the dsn is the value.
type: boolean
default: true
Whether to enable or not Messenger.
type: boolean
, int
or array<int, string>
default: true
Use the application logger instead of the PHP logger for logging PHP errors. When an integer value is used, it defines a bitmask of PHP errors that will be logged. Those integer values must be the same used in the error_reporting PHP option. The default log levels will be used for each PHP error. When a boolean value is used, true
enables logging for all PHP errors while false
disables logging entirely.
This option also accepts a map of PHP errors to log levels:
type: boolean
default: %kernel.debug%
Throw PHP errors as \ErrorException
instances. The parameter debug.error_handler.throw_at
controls the threshold.
type: boolean
default: true
This option configures the way the profiler behaves when it is enabled. If set to true
, the profiler collects data for all requests. If you want to only collect information on-demand, you can set the collect
flag to false
and activate the data collectors manually:
1
$profiler->enable();
type: string
default: null
This specifies name of a query parameter, a body parameter or a request attribute used to enable or disable collection of data by the profiler for each request. Combine it with the collect
option to enable/disable the profiler on demand:
- If the
collect
option is set totrue
but this parameter exists in a request and has any value other thantrue
,yes
,on
or1
, the request data will not be collected; - If the
collect
option is set tofalse
, but this parameter exists in a request and has value oftrue
,yes
,on
or1
, the request data will be collected.
type: boolean
default: false
When this option is true
, all normalizers and encoders are decorated by traceable implementations that collect profiling information about them.
type: string
default: file:%kernel.cache_dir%/profiler
The DSN where to store the profiling information.
type: boolean
default: false
The profiler can be enabled by setting this option to true
. When you install it using Symfony Flex, the profiler is enabled in the dev
and test
environments.
type: boolean
default: false
When this is set to true
, the profiler will only be enabled when an exception is thrown during the handling of the request.
type: boolean
default: false
When this is set to true
, the profiler will only be enabled on the main requests (and not on the subrequests).
type: boolean
default: false
When enabled, the property_accessor
service uses PHP's magic __call() method when its getValue()
method is called.
type: boolean
default: true
When enabled, the property_accessor
service uses PHP's magic __get() method when its getValue()
method is called.
type: boolean
default: true
When enabled, the property_accessor
service uses PHP's magic __set() method when its setValue()
method is called.
type: boolean
default: false
When enabled, the property_accessor
service throws an exception when you try to access an invalid index of an array.
type: boolean
default: true
When enabled, the property_accessor
service throws an exception when you try to access an invalid property path of an object.
type: boolean
default: true
or false
depending on your installation
type: boolean
default: false
Configures the property_info
service to extract property information from the constructor arguments using the ConstructorExtractor.
type:
Name of the rate limiter you want to create.
type: string
default: lock.factory
The service that is used to create a lock. The service has to be an instance of the LockFactory class.
type: string
required
The name of the rate limiting algorithm to use. Example names are fixed_window
, sliding_window
and no_limit
. See Rate Limiter Policies) for more information.
type: array
default: []
This setting is used to associate additional request formats (e.g. html
) to one or more mime types (e.g. text/html
), which will allow you to use the format & mime types to call Request::getFormat($mimeType) or Request::getMimeType($format).
In practice, this is important because Symfony uses it to automatically set the Content-Type
header on the Response
(if you don't explicitly set one). If you pass an array of mime types, the first will be used for the header.
To configure a jsonp
format:
1 2 3 4 5
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
request:
formats:
jsonp: 'application/javascript'
type: string
default: %kernel.cache_dir%
The directory where routing information will be cached. Can be set to ~
(null
) to disable route caching.
type: string
The default URI used to generate URLs in a non-HTTP context (see Generating URLs in Commands).
type: integer
default: 80
The port for normal http requests (this is used when matching the scheme).
type: integer
default: 443
The port for https requests (this is used when matching the scheme).
type: string
required
The path the main routing resource (e.g. a YAML file) that contains the routes and imports the router should load.
type: mixed
default: true
Determines the routing generator behavior. When generating a route that has specific parameter requirements, the generator can behave differently in case the used parameters do not meet these requirements.
The value can be one of:
true
- Throw an exception when the requirements are not met;
false
- Disable exceptions when the requirements are not met and return
''
instead; null
- Disable checking the requirements (thus, match the route even when the requirements don't match).
true
is recommended in the development environment, while false
or null
might be preferred in production.
type: string
The type of the resource to hint the loaders about the format. This isn't needed when you use the default routers with the expected file extensions (.xml
, .yaml
, .php
).
type: boolean
default: true
When this option is set to true
, the regular expressions used in the requirements of route parameters will be run using the utf-8 modifier. This will for example match any UTF-8 character when using .
, instead of matching only a single byte.
If the charset of your application is UTF-8 (as defined in the getCharset() method of your kernel) it's recommended setting it to true
. This will make non-UTF8 URLs to generate 404 errors.
type: string
required
This is a string that should be unique to your application and it's commonly used to add more entropy to security related operations. Its value should be a series of characters, numbers and symbols chosen randomly and the recommended length is around 32 characters.
In practice, Symfony uses this value for encrypting the cookies used in the remember me functionality and for creating signed URIs when using ESI (Edge Side Includes). That's why you should treat this value as if it were a sensitive credential and never make it public.
This option becomes the service container parameter named kernel.secret
, which you can use whenever the application needs an immutable random string to add more entropy.
As with any other security-related parameter, it is a good practice to change this value from time to time. However, keep in mind that changing this value will invalidate all signed URIs and Remember Me cookies. That's why, after changing this value, you should regenerate the application cache and log out all the application users.
type: string
default: base64:default::SYMFONY_DECRYPTION_SECRET
The env var name that contains the vault decryption secret. By default, this value will be decoded from base64.
type: boolean
default: true
Whether to enable or not secrets managements.
type: string
default: %kernel.project_dir%/.env.%kernel.environment%.local
The path to the local .env
file. This file must contain the vault decryption key, given by the decryption_env_var
option.
type: string
default: %kernel.project_dir%/config/secrets/%kernel.runtime_environment%
The directory to store the secret vault. By default, the path includes the value of the kernel.runtime_environment parameter.
type: string
| array
The default semaphore adapter. Store's DSN are also allowed.
type: boolean
default: true
Whether to enable the support for semaphore or not. This setting is automatically set to true
when one of the child settings is configured.
type: array
A map of semaphore stores to be created by the framework extension, with the name as key and DSN or service id as value:
1 2 3
# config/packages/semaphore.yaml
framework:
semaphore: '%env(SEMAPHORE_DSN)%'
type:
Name of the semaphore you want to create.
type string
The service id that is used as the circular reference handler of the default serializer. The service has to implement the magic __invoke($object)
method.
type: array
default: []
A map with default context options that will be used with each serialize
and deserialize
call. This can be used for example to set the json encoding behavior by setting json_encode_options
to a json_encode flags bitmask.
You can inspect the serializer context builders to discover the available settings.
type: boolean
default: true
Enables support for PHP attributes in the serializer component.
type: boolean
default: true
or false
depending on your installation
Whether to enable the serializer
service or not in the service container.
type: array
default: []
This option allows to define an array of paths with files or directories where the component will look for additional serialization files.
type: string
The name converter to use. The CamelCaseToSnakeCaseNameConverter name converter can enabled by using the serializer.name_converter.camel_case_to_snake_case
value.
type: string
default: 0
If set to 0
, Symfony won't set any particular header related to the cache and it will rely on php.ini
's session.cache_limiter directive.
Unlike the other session options, cache_limiter
is set as a regular container parameter:
1 2 3 4
# config/services.yaml
parameters:
session.storage.options:
cache_limiter: 0
Be aware that if you configure it, you'll have to set other session-related options as parameters as well.
type: string
This determines the domain to set in the session cookie.
If not set, php.ini
's session.cookie_domain directive will be relied on.
type: boolean
default: true
This determines whether cookies should only be accessible through the HTTP protocol. This means that the cookie won't be accessible by scripting languages, such as JavaScript. This setting can effectively help to reduce identity theft through XSS attacks.
type: integer
This determines the lifetime of the session - in seconds. Setting this value to 0
means the cookie is valid for the length of the browser session.
If not set, php.ini
's session.cookie_lifetime directive will be relied on.
type: string
This determines the path to set in the session cookie.
If not set, php.ini
's session.cookie_path directive will be relied on.
type: string
or null
default: null
It controls the way cookies are sent when the HTTP request did not originate from the same domain that is associated with the cookies. Setting this option is recommended to mitigate CSRF security attacks.
By default, browsers send all cookies related to the domain of the HTTP request. This may be a problem for example when you visit a forum and some malicious comment includes a link like https://some-bank.com/?send_money_to=attacker&amount=1000
. If you were previously logged into your bank website, the browser will send all those cookies when making that HTTP request.
The possible values for this option are:
null
, usephp.ini
's session.cookie_samesite directive.'none'
(or theSymfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Cookie::SAMESITE_NONE
constant), use it to allow sending of cookies when the HTTP request originated from a different domain (previously this was the default behavior of null, but in newer browsers'lax'
would be applied when the header has not been set)'strict'
(or theCookie::SAMESITE_STRICT
constant), use it to never send any cookie when the HTTP request did not originate from the same domain.'lax'
(or theCookie::SAMESITE_LAX
constant), use it to allow sending cookies when the request originated from a different domain, but only when the user consciously made the request (by clicking a link or submitting a form with theGET
method).
type: boolean
or 'auto'
This determines whether cookies should only be sent over secure connections. In addition to true
and false
, there's a special 'auto'
value that means true
for HTTPS requests and false
for HTTP requests.
If not set, php.ini
's session.cookie_secure directive will be relied on.
type: boolean
default: true
Whether to enable the session support in the framework.
1 2 3 4
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
session:
enabled: true
type: integer
See gc_probability.
If not set, php.ini
's session.gc_divisor directive will be relied on.
type: integer
This determines the number of seconds after which data will be seen as "garbage" and potentially cleaned up. Garbage collection may occur during session start and depends on gc_divisor and gc_probability.
If not set, php.ini
's session.gc_maxlifetime directive will be relied on.
type: integer
This defines the probability that the garbage collector (GC) process is started on every session initialization. The probability is calculated by using gc_probability
/ gc_divisor
, e.g. 1/100 means there is a 1% chance that the GC process will start on each request.
If not set, Symfony will use the value of the session.gc_probability directive in the php.ini
configuration file.
type: string
| null
default: null
If framework.session.save_path
is not set, the default value of this option is null
, which means to use the session handler configured in php.ini. If the framework.session.save_path
option is set, then Symfony stores sessions using the native file session handler.
It is possible to store sessions in a database, and also to configure the session handler with a DSN:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
session:
# a few possible examples
handler_id: 'redis://localhost'
handler_id: '%env(REDIS_URL)%'
handler_id: '%env(DATABASE_URL)%'
handler_id: 'file://%kernel.project_dir%/var/sessions'
type: integer
default: 0
This is how many seconds to wait between updating/writing the session metadata. This can be useful if, for some reason, you want to limit the frequency at which the session persists, instead of doing that on every request.
type: string
This specifies the name of the session cookie.
If not set, php.ini
's session.name directive will be relied on.
type: string
| null
default: %kernel.cache_dir%/sessions
This determines the argument to be passed to the save handler. If you choose the default file handler, this is the path where the session files are created.
If null
, php.ini
's session.save_path directive will be relied on:
type: integer
This determines the number of bits in the encoded session ID character. The possible values are 4
(0-9, a-f), 5
(0-9, a-v), and 6
(0-9, a-z, A-Z, "-", ","). The more bits results in stronger session ID. 5
is recommended value for most environments.
If not set, php.ini
's session.sid_bits_per_character directive will be relied on.
type: integer
This determines the length of session ID string, which can be an integer between 22
and 256
(both inclusive), 32
being the recommended value. Longer session IDs are harder to guess.
If not set, php.ini
's session.sid_length directive will be relied on.
type: string
default: session.storage.factory.native
The service ID used for creating the SessionStorageInterface
that stores the session. This service is available in the Symfony application via the session.storage.factory
service alias. The class has to implement SessionStorageFactoryInterface. To see a list of all available storages, run:
1
$ php bin/console debug:container session.storage.factory.
type: boolean
This specifies if the session ID is stored on the client side using cookies or not.
If not set, php.ini
's session.use_cookies directive will be relied on.
type: boolean
default: false
Whether to enable or not SSI support in your application.
type: boolean
If this configuration setting is present (and not false
), then the services related to testing your application (e.g. test.client
) are loaded. This setting should be present in your test
environment (usually via config/packages/test/framework.yaml
).
type: string
| null
default: %kernel.cache_dir%/translations
Defines the directory where the translation cache is stored. Use null
to disable this cache.
type: string
default: %kernel.project_dir%/translations
This option allows to define the path where the application translations files are stored.
type: boolean
default: true
or false
depending on your installation
Whether or not to enable the translator
service in the service container.
type: string|array
default: value of default_locale
This option is used when the translation key for the current locale wasn't found.
type: string
default: translator.formatter.default
The ID of the service used to format translation messages. The service class must implement the MessageFormatterInterface.
default: true
when the debug mode is enabled, false
otherwise.
When true
, a log entry is made whenever the translator cannot find a translation for a given key. The logs are made to the translation
channel at the debug
level for keys where there is a translation in the fallback locale, and the warning
level if there is no translation to use at all.
type: array
default: []
This option allows to define an array of paths where the component will look for translation files. The later a path is added, the more priority it has (translations from later paths overwrite earlier ones). Translations from the default_path have more priority than translations from all these paths.
type: array
default: []
This option enables and configures translation providers to push and pull your translations to/from third party translation services.
type: boolean
default: %env(bool:default::SYMFONY_TRUST_X_SENDFILE_TYPE_HEADER)%
X-Sendfile
is a special HTTP header that tells web servers to replace the response contents by the file that is defined in that header. This improves performance because files are no longer served by your application but directly by the web server.
This configuration option determines whether to trust x-sendfile
header for BinaryFileResponse. If enabled, Symfony calls the BinaryFileResponse::trustXSendfileTypeHeader method automatically. It becomes the service container parameter named kernel.trust_x_sendfile_type_header
.
The trusted_headers
option is needed to configure which client information should be trusted (e.g. their host) when running Symfony behind a load balancer or a reverse proxy. See How to Configure Symfony to Work behind a Load Balancer or a Reverse Proxy.
type: array
| string
default: ['%env(default::SYMFONY_TRUSTED_HOSTS)%']
A lot of different attacks have been discovered relying on inconsistencies in handling the Host
header by various software (web servers, reverse proxies, web frameworks, etc.). Basically, every time the framework is generating an absolute URL (when sending an email to reset a password for instance), the host might have been manipulated by an attacker.
The Symfony Request::getHost() method might be vulnerable to some of these attacks because it depends on the configuration of your web server. One simple solution to avoid these attacks is to configure a list of hosts that your Symfony application can respond to. That's the purpose of this trusted_hosts
option. If the incoming request's hostname doesn't match one of the regular expressions in this list, the application won't respond and the user will receive a 400 response.
1 2 3
# config/packages/framework.yaml
framework:
trusted_hosts: ['^example\.com$', '^example\.org$']
Hosts can also be configured to respond to any subdomain, via ^(.+\.)?example\.com$
for instance.
In addition, you can also set the trusted hosts in the front controller using the Request::setTrustedHosts()
method:
1 2
// public/index.php
Request::setTrustedHosts(['^(.+\.)?example\.com$', '^(.+\.)?example\.org$']);
The default value for this option is an empty array, meaning that the application can respond to any given host.
The trusted_proxies
option is needed to get precise information about the client (e.g. their IP address) when running Symfony behind a load balancer or a reverse proxy. See How to Configure Symfony to Work behind a Load Balancer or a Reverse Proxy.
type: array
default: []
Defines the Doctrine entities that will be introspected to add automatic validation constraints to them:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
framework:
validation:
auto_mapping:
# an empty array means that all entities that belong to that
# namespace will add automatic validation
'App\Entity\': []
'Foo\': ['Foo\Some\Entity', 'Foo\Another\Entity']
type: boolean
default: false
Validation error messages are automatically translated to the current application locale. Set this option to true
to disable translation of validation messages. This is useful to avoid "missing translation" errors in applications that use only a single language.
type: string
default: html5
Sets the default value for the "mode" option of the Email validator.
type: boolean
default: true
If this option is enabled, validation constraints can be defined using PHP attributes.
type: boolean
default: true
or false
depending on your installation
Whether or not to enable validation support.
This option will automatically be set to true
when one of the child settings is configured.
type: array
default: ['config/validation/']
This option allows to define an array of paths with files or directories where the component will look for additional validation files:
The NotCompromisedPassword constraint makes HTTP requests to a public API to check if the given password has been compromised in a data breach.
type: string | array
default: ['loadValidatorMetadata']
Defines the name of the static method which is called to load the validation metadata of the class. You can define an array of strings with the names of several methods. In that case, all of them will be called in that order to load the metadata.
type: string | false
default: validators
The translation domain that is used when translating validation constraint error messages. Use false to disable translations.
type: boolean
default: true
If you set this option to false
, no HTTP requests will be made and the given password will be considered valid. This is useful when you don't want or can't make HTTP requests, such as in dev
and test
environments or in continuous integration servers.
type: string
default: null
By default, the NotCompromisedPassword constraint uses the public API provided by haveibeenpwned.com. This option allows to define a different, but compatible, API endpoint to make the password checks. It's useful for example when the Symfony application is run in an intranet without public access to the internet.
type: boolean
default: true
or false
depending on your installation
Adds a Link HTTP header to the response.
The webhook
option (and its children) are used to configure the webhooks defined in your application. Read more about the options in the Webhook documentation.
