How to get the request parameters in Symfony 2?

Question

I am very new to symfony. In other languages like java and others I can use request.getParameter(\'parmeter name\') to get the value.

Is there anything

Your options:

1. Simple:
   • $request->request->get('param') ($_POST['param']) or
   • $request->query->get('param') ($_GET['param'])
2. Good Symfony forms with all validation, value transormation and form rendering with errors and many other features:
   • http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/forms.html
   • http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/form/index.html
3. Something in between (see example below)

setDefaults([
        'email' => '',
        'phone' => '',
    ]);
    $filter = $optionsResolver->resolve($request->query->all());

    /** @var CustomerRepository $customerRepository */
    $customerRepository = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('AppBundle:Customer');

    /** @var Customer[] $customers */
    $customers = $customerRepository->findFilteredCustomers($filter);

    return $this->render(':customers:index.html.twig', [
        'customers' => $customers,
        'filter' => $filter,
    ]);
}
