Symfony 2 bundle for dynamic menus

Usually not every user should see all navigation options, i.e. routes that they have no access to should not show up in menus. Per default this bundle comes with a fairly standard way of achieving that which will "just work" if your Symfony project uses the standard means of securing URL patterns by hardcoding roles for them in your security.yml.

If you have a custom access control mechanism you can easily override this behaviour. Simply create a new class implementing the following interface:

CiscoSystems\MenuBundle\Authorisation\AuthorisationInterface

It has one public method that you need to implement, which takes the name of a route as its parameter and returns TRUE or FALSE, depending on whether the currently logged on user has access to this route.

To make the menu bundle aware of your custom access verification, declare it as a service with the tag cisco.menu.access_verifier and inject whatever you need to inject into it in order to enable it to make its decision, like so:

my_custom_access_verifier_service:
    class: MySecurityBundle\Authorisation
    arguments:
        - '@some.service.i.want.to.inject'
        - '%some.parameter.i.also.want.to.inject%'
    tags:
        - { name: cisco.menu.access_verifier }
