Symfony2 generate controller inside custom folder

Symfony2 has a command for generating controllers

http://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/SensioGeneratorBundle/commands/generate_controller.html

Command’s default behavior is to generate the given controller inside controller folder within the bundle.

Is it possible to customize the folder where the controller will be generated ( controller/backend for example ) ?

Answer

You can get all the available options of this command with the help command:

php app/console help generate:controller

No you can’t with the current task, but you could extend the GenerateControllerCommand to add custom options. Check out its generate function:

// GenerateControllerCommand.php
public function generate(BundleInterface $bundle, $controller, $routeFormat, $templateFormat, array $actions = array())
{
    ...
    $controllerFile = $dir.'/Controller/'.$controller.'Controller.php';
    ...
    $this->renderFile('controller/Controller.php.twig', $controllerFile, $parameters);
    ...
}
