README

The Route Deprecation Bundle provides tools to deprecate routes in your Symfony application. It implements the IETF draft of The Deprecation HTTP Header Field.

Installation

Make sure Composer is installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Applications that use Symfony Flex

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute:

$ composer require halloverden/symfony-route-deprecation-bundle

Applications that don't use Symfony Flex

Step 1: Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require halloverden/symfony-route-deprecation-bundle

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles in the config/bundles.php file of your project:

// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    HalloVerden\RouteDeprecationBundle\HalloVerdenRouteDeprecationBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Usage

You can deprecate any route with the DeprecatedRoute annotation.

• since (required) - is a string ("yyyy-mm-dd") that defines the moment in which a route becomes deprecated. The header Deprecation will be set on the response, like so: Deprecation: @1672531200.
• sunset (optional) - is a string ("yyyy-mm-dd") that defines the moment in which a route becomes expired. The header Sunset will be set on the response, like so: Sunset: Mon, 01 Jun 2020 00:00:00 GMT
• enforce (optional) - is a boolean that makes the route inaccessible after the sunset date (default is false). If you try to access a route where this option is set to true and the current date is greater than the sunet date, a GoneHttpException is thrown.
• name (optional) - The name of the route to deprecate. If not specified, all routes (on that controller) will be deprecated.
• deprecationDateTimeFormat (optional) - The format of the date time used in the Deprecation header. default is @U (as per the IETF draft).
• sunsetDateTimeFormat (optional) - The format of the date time used in the Sunset header. default is D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T (as per the Sunset RFC)
• deprecationLink (optional) - The link used in the Link header for deprecation.
• sunsetLink - (optional) - The link used in the Link header for sunset.

you can also deprecate any route with route parameters.

Example using the attribute:

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use HalloVerden\RouteDeprecationBundle\Attribute\DeprecatedRoute;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;


#[Route(path: self::PATH, name: self::NAME, methods: ['GET'])]
#[DeprecatedRoute(since: '2023-01-01')]
class GetHealthzController extends BaseController {
  const PATH = '/healthz';
  const NAME = 'healthz_get';

  /**
   * @return Response
   */
  public function __invoke(): Response {
    return new Response('ok');
  }

}

Example using route parameters in routes.yaml (you can also use xml, php and the route annotation):

# config/routes.yaml
lol_healthz:
    path: /healthz
    controller: App\Controller\GetHealthzController
    defaults:
        _deprecated_since: '2024-01-01'
        _deprecated_sunset: '2024-02-01'
        _deprecated_enforce: false
        _deprecated_deprecation_date_time_format: '@U'
        _deprecated_sunset_date_time_format: 'D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T'
        _deprecated_deprecation_link: 'https://example.com/deprecation'
        _deprecated_sunset_link: 'https://example.com/sunset'

config options (optional):

hallo_verden_route_deprecation:
    deprecation:
        dateTimeFormat: '@U'
        link: 'https://example.com/deprecation'
    sunset:
        dateTimeFormat: 'D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T'
        link: 'https://example.com/sunset'
