Symfony2: in Twig, pass Request with Render function

Question

I understand that using {% render() %} automatically forces a new request object to be sent, but im curious if theres a way to pass in the originating request a

Answer 1

Since Symfony 2.4 you can access the original request via the request_stack. This avoids the need to create a new method parameter.

function exampleAction() {
  $request = $this->get('request_stack')->getMasterRequest();
  //do something
}

Use this carefully as it makes your sub-requests incompatible with ESIs/reverse proxies (where a sub-request is also a master request) http://symfony.com/blog/new-in-symfony-2-4-the-request-stack
