The following recipe is valid for any type of settings supported by Symfony framework.

Description

Usually, you develop your website using one or several custom bundles as this is a best practice. However, dealing with core bundle semantic configuration can be a bit tedious if you maintain it in the main app/config/ezplatform.yml configuration file.

Solution

This recipe will show you how to import configuration from a bundle the manual way and the implicit way.

The manual way

This is the simplest way of doing and it has the advantage of being explicit. The idea is to use the imports statement in your main ezplatform.yml:

app/config/ezplatform.yml
templates_rules.yml, placed under Resources/config folder in AcmeTestBundle

During the merge process, if the imported configuration files contain entries that are already defined in the main configuration file, they will override them.

Tip

If you want to import configuration for development use only, you can do so in your ezpublish_dev.yml 

The implicit way

The following example will show you how to implicitly load settings to configure eZ Platform kernel. Note that this is also valid for any bundle!

We assume here that you're aware of service container extensions.

Acme/TestBundle/DependencyInjection/AcmeTestExtension
AcmeTestBundle/Resources/config/template_rules.yml

Regarding performance

Service container extensions are called only when the container is being compiled, so there is nothing to worry about regarding performance.

Configuration loaded this way will be overridden by the main ezplatform.yml file.
