class EntityConverter

Parameter converter for upcasting entity IDs to full objects.

This is useful in cases where the dynamic elements of the path can't be auto-determined; for example, if your path refers to multiple of the same type of entity ("example/{node1}/foo/{node2}") or if the path can act on any entity type ("example/{entity_type}/{entity}/foo").

In order to use it you should specify some additional options in your route:

example.route:
  path: foo/{example}
  options:
    parameters:
      example:
        type: entity:node

If you want to have the entity type itself dynamic in the url you can specify it like the following:

example.route:
  path: foo/{entity_type}/{example}
  options:
    parameters:
      example:
        type: entity:{entity_type}
