how to add view in AppBundle? - php

Question

I'm trying to experiment in symfony3. I'm trying to search it to google but I found no clear answer from them. This is the default controller in symfony
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
/**
* #Route("/", name="homepage")
*/
public function indexAction(Request $request)
{
// replace this example code with whatever you need
return $this->render('default/index.html.twig', [
'base_dir' => realpath($this->getParameter('kernel.root_dir').'/..').DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,
]);
}
}
If you see the return render. It will display the default/index.html.twig from the app/Resources/views/default/index.html.twig I would like to know if this possible to put my view folder in my AppBundle folder? here is my list folder in AppBundle
AppBundle
-Controller
-Entity
-Form
-Resources
-views
-default
-index.html.twig
How can I link it to the resources under my AppBundle? If you have tutorial please give link. thanks in advance

Symfony2 started with views under the AppBundle/Resources, and Symfony3 try to encourage you to separate the frontend (html/js/css) from your Business php Bundle by placing them in app/Resources.
Anyway if you want to structure the code as you describe it (like symfony2 standard), the syntax to use is bundle:folder:subdirs/views.html.twig
AppBundle // first parameter
-Controller
-Entity
-Form
-Resources
-views
-default //second parameter
- index.html.twig
- subfolder
- _included.html.twig
- subsubfolder
- _very_included.html.twig
In this example:
index.html.twig the syntax will be AppBundle:default:index.html.twig
_included.html.twig the syntax will be AppBundle:default:subfolder/_included.html.twig
_very_included.html.twig the syntax will be AppBundle:default:subfolder/subsubfolder/_very_included.html.twig
For your concrete problem it will be AppBundle:default:index.html.twig
