php - Custom BaseController in Silex -

i have created simple aplication in silex 1.3.4 , want have base controller have __construct method accepting $app , $request. inheriting controllers should have respective constructors , calling parent controller construct method.

//use statements here....  class appcontroller {   public function __construct(application $app, request $request){     $this->app = $app;     $this->request = $request;    }  } 

inheriting controllers written below:

//use statements here....  class itemscontroller extends appcontroller {   public function __construct(application $app, request $request){     parent::__construct($app, $request);    }    public function listaction()   {     //code here without having pass application , request objects    }  } 

the approach have decided on routing shown below:

   $app->post(      '/items/list', 'mysilextestdrive\controller\itemscontroller::listaction'    )->bind('list'); 

i thinking of using dispatcher , override processes there , create controller instances own way not have idea how , if great idea @ all.

anyone has done similar this? please help.

you can use servicecontrollerserviceprovider define controller service in application. can't inject request in way. btw can have more 1 request , request instance can change if sub-request. can inject requeststack instead, call $requeststack->getcurrentrequest() when need current request.

$app = new silex\application();  abstract class appcontroller {     protected $app;     protected $requeststack;      public function __construct(silex\application $app, symfony\component\httpfoundation\requeststack $requeststack)     {         $this->app = $app;         $this->requeststack = $requeststack;     }      public function getrequest()     {         return $this->requeststack->getcurrentrequest();     } }  class itemscontroller extends appcontroller {     public function listaction()     {         $request = $this->getrequest();         // ...     } }  $app->register(new silex\provider\servicecontrollerserviceprovider());  $app['items.controller'] = $app->share(function() use ($app) {     return new itemscontroller($app, $app['request_stack']); });  $app->get('/items/list', "items.controller:listaction"); 

it makes sense such thing? i not think so. if framework gives request instance type hinting. do

public function listaction(application $app, request $request) {     // ... } 

and work that.
