The Clean Way - 2018   Symfony 3 4   Since 2017 and Symfony 3 3   3 4 there is much cleaner way - easy to setup and use   Instead of using container and service parameter locator anti-pattern  you can pass parameters to class via it s constructor  Don t worry  it s not time-demanding work  but rather setup once  amp  forget approach   How to set it up in 2 steps   1  app config services yml    config yml    config yml parameters      api pass   secret password      api user   my name   services       defaults          autowire  true         bind               apiPass    api pass                apiUser    api user        App           resource       2  Any Controller   lt  php declare strict types 1    final class ApiController extends SymfonyController                   var string              private  apiPass                   var string             private  apiUser       public function   construct string  apiPass  string  apiUser                 this- gt apiPass    apiPass           this- gt apiUser    apiUser             public function registerAction    void               var dump  this- gt apiPass       secret password          var dump  this- gt apiUser       my name            Instant Upgrade Ready   In case you use older approach  you can automate it with Rector   Read More  This is called constructor injection over services locator approach   To read more about this  check my post How to Get Parameter in Symfony Controller the Clean Way    It s tested and I keep it updated for new Symfony major version  5  6

In Symfony 2 6 and older versions  to get a parameter in a controller - you should get the container first  and then - the needed parameter    this- gt container- gt getParameter  api user      This documentation chapter explains it   While  this- gt get   method in a controller will load a service  doc   In Symfony 2 7 and newer versions  to get a parameter in a controller you can use the following    this- gt getParameter  api user

You can use   public function indexAction        dump   this- gt getParameter  api user         For more information I recommend you read the doc    http   symfony com doc 2 8 service container parameters html

In Symfony 4  you can use the ParameterBagInterface   use Symfony Component DependencyInjection ParameterBag ParameterBagInterface   class MessageGenerator       private  params       public function   construct ParameterBagInterface  params                 this- gt params    params             public function someMethod                  parameterValue    this- gt params- gt get  parameter name                             and in app config services yaml   parameters      locale   en      dir    kernel project dir     It works for me in both controller and form classes  More details can be found in the Symfony blog
