Generating URLs

Generating a URL in a Controller

To get a URL for the file, you can use the Vich\UploaderBundle\Templating\Helper\UploaderHelper service as follows:

$entity = …; // get the entity...
// get the UploaderHelper service...
$path = $helper->asset($entity, 'image');

Where image is the field name used in your entity where you added the UploadableField annotation/configuration.

If image is your only mapped field, you can omit it and use simply $helper->asset($entity).

Note:

The path returned is relative to the public directory which is specified using the uri_prefix configuration parameter.

Generating a URL in a Twig Template

In a Twig template you can use the vich_uploader_asset function:

<img src="{{ vich_uploader_asset(product, 'image') }}" alt="{{ product.name }}">

Or, in the simpler case of a single mapped field:

<img src="{{ vich_uploader_asset(product) }}" alt="{{ product.name }}">

Note:

If the product variable is hydrated as an array (instead of an object), you will need to manually specify the class name:

{{ vich_uploader_asset(product, 'image', 'FooBundle\\Entity\\Product') }}

That was it!
