Response handle(Request $request, int $type = self::MASTER_REQUEST, bool $catch = true)

Handles a Request to convert it to a Response.

When $catch is true, the implementation must catch all exceptions and do its best to convert them to a Response instance.

Parameters

Request	$request	A Request instance
int	$type	The type of the request (one of HttpKernelInterface::MASTER_REQUEST or HttpKernelInterface::SUB_REQUEST)
bool	$catch	Whether to catch exceptions or not

Return Value

Response

A Response instance

Exceptions

Exception

When an Exception occurs during processing

iterable|BundleInterface[] registerBundles()

Returns an array of bundles to register.

Return Value

iterable|BundleInterface[]

An iterable of bundle instances

registerContainerConfiguration(LoaderInterface $loader)

Loads the container configuration.

Parameters

LoaderInterface

$loader

boot()

Boots the current kernel.

shutdown()

Shutdowns the kernel.

This method is mainly useful when doing functional testing.

BundleInterface[] getBundles()

Gets the registered bundle instances.

Return Value

BundleInterface[]

An array of registered bundle instances

BundleInterface getBundle(string $name)

Returns a bundle.

Parameters

string

$name

Bundle name

Return Value

string|array locateResource(string $name, string $dir = null, bool $first = true)

Returns the file path for a given bundle resource.

A Resource can be a file or a directory.

The resource name must follow the following pattern:

"@BundleName/path/to/a/file.something"

where BundleName is the name of the bundle and the remaining part is the relative path in the bundle.

If $dir is passed, and the first segment of the path is "Resources", this method will look for a file named:

$dir/<BundleName>/path/without/Resources

before looking in the bundle resource folder.

Parameters

string	$name	A resource name to locate
string	$dir	A directory where to look for the resource first
bool	$first	Whether to return the first path or paths for all matching bundles

Return Value

string|array

The absolute path of the resource or an array if $first is false

Exceptions

InvalidArgumentException	if the file cannot be found or the name is not valid
RuntimeException	if the name contains invalid/unsafe characters
