Routing name has locale suffix

[rjwebdev]

I recently updated my Symfony application to 4.1 so I can use the new internationalized routing feature.

When I dump the exposed routes to a javascript file, 2 routes are generated, having the locale of the path as suffix. For example I have a route app.user.index with following paths:

• en: /users
• fr: /utilisateurs

In my generated file, I have to routes app.user.index.en and app.user.index.fr

yeah, having 2 routes is how the Symfony 4.1 feature works internally (and Symfony tries to generate the locale-specific variant first).

the route generator in this bundle is not yet updated to support the same feature.

Do you have any idea when this feature will be supported?

I already worked out an idea myself but I'm not sure if it is a good one:
You can define a variable in javascript that contains the Symfony request locale. Then you can add this value to the prefixedName variable in the 'getRoute' function.

The only answer I can give you is "when someone works on it". that's how open-source work when everyone is working on it on their free time (and I'm not using this bundle myself anymore since a long time, so it may not even be my priority on my free time)

[rjwebdev]

Is it possible to get some more info/input from someone who is still maintaining this bundle?

Any news on this issue so far?

Probably the simplest way to work around this

const locale = $('body').data('locale');
const RoutingDecorator = {
    generate: function (name, params) {
        const orig_name = name;

        try {
            Routing.getRoute(name)
        } catch(error) {
            name = name + '.' + locale;

            try {
                Routing.getRoute(name)
            } catch(error) {
                name = orig_name;
            }
        }

        return Routing.generate(name, params);
    }
};

This is now supported since #334 is merged.
