Symfony2 getLocal() in post load lifecycle event - php

Question

I am developing a application with symfony2. Im facing a problem with localization. I want to set the in the postLoad event in doctrine lifecycle, but can find a way to do that. I am using the route method to set my local for example:
http://example.com/en/content
here is my listener:
namespace MyApiBundle\Listener;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelEvents;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Doctrine\ORM\Event\LifecycleEventArgs;
class LocaleListener
{
private $local;
public function __construct($local) {
$this->local = $local;
}
public function postLoad(LifecycleEventArgs $args)
{
$local= 'en'; // I need to get the local from here
$entity = $args->getEntity();
if(method_exists($entity, 'setLocale')) {
$entity->setLocale($local);
}
}
}
Is there any quick way get the local from here? Cant use the new Request() as it always returning the en I also have 3 other language. Thanks for help

Answer 1

Yes, you can. You can inject #request_stack service into your listener, get request from it and read locale.
There is, however, a Doctrine extension that probably does what you want: Translatable

Thanks #Igor Pantovic
here I got it work, here is my local listner:
#/src/MyApiBUndle/Listner/LocalListner.php
namespace MyApiBundle\Listener;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;
use Doctrine\ORM\Event\LifecycleEventArgs;
class LocaleListener {
private $requestStack;
/**
* #param RequestStack $requestStack
*/
public function __construct(RequestStack $requestStack) {
$this->requestStack = $requestStack;
}
/**
* #param LifecycleEventArgs $args
*/
public function postLoad(LifecycleEventArgs $args)
{
$local= $this->requestStack->getCurrentRequest()->getLocale();
$entity = $args->getEntity();
if(method_exists($entity, 'setLocale')) {
$entity->setLocale($local);
}
}
}
and my service
services:
my_api.listener.locale_listener:
class: MyApiBundle\Listener\LocaleListener
tags:
- { name: doctrine.event_listener, event: postLoad }
# #request_stack must be quoted "":
arguments: ["#request_stack"]
