8. Annotations¶

Note

Block annotations are deprecated, because they are not working with upcoming symfony releases.

All annotations require jms/di-extra-bundle, it can easily be installed by composer:

1	composer require jms/di-extra-bundle

if you want to know more: http://jmsyst.com/bundles/JMSDiExtraBundle

# config/packages/jms_di_extra.yaml

jms_di_extra:
    annotation_patterns:
        - JMS\DiExtraBundle\Annotation
        - Sonata\BlockBundle\Annotation

8.1. Define Blocks¶

All you have to do is include Sonata\BlockBundle\Annotation and define the values you need:

namespace AcmeBundle\Block;

use Sonata\BlockBundle\Block\Service\AbstractBlockService;
use Sonata\BlockBundle\Annotation as Sonata;

/**
 * @Sonata\Block()
 */
class MyBlock extends AbstractBlockService
{
}

Note

If you need to define custom controllers you can also use jms/di-extra-bundle by using the DIService annotation.
