Symfony entity parameter converter doesn't get route items correctly

Question

I have a route that needs to get categories and subcategories. The route is in the following form:

#[Route('/{slug}/{subSlug}', name: 'subcategory')]
    #[Entity('category', expr: 'repository.findOneBySlug(slug)')]
    #[Entity('subcategory', expr: 'repository.findOneBySlug(subSlug)')]
    public function subcat(Category $cat, Subcategory $sub): Response

I tried to access /mtg/dmr, but I got a 404 Object not found error, caused by @ParamConverter. When I look in the Doctrine log, the system is looking in the correct table, but for both it is looking for mtg instead of first looking for mtg and then < code>dmr. Any ideas what's going on?

Answer 1

DOC example:

#[Route('/blog/{date}/{slug}/comments/{comment_slug}')]
#[ParamConverter('post', options: ['mapping' => ['date' => 'date', 'slug' => 'slug']])]
#[ParamConverter('comment', options: ['mapping' => ['comment_slug' => 'slug']])]
public function showComment(Post $post, Comment $comment)
{
}

So, in your case you must have:

#[Route('/{slug}/{subSlug}', name: 'subcategory')]
#[ParamConverter('cat', options: ['mapping' => ['slug' => 'slug']])]
#[ParamConverter('sub', options: ['mapping' => ['subSlug' => 'slug']])]
public function (Category $cat, Subcategory $sub): Response
{
}
