How Generating URLs from a template correctly in Symfony2/Twig

Question

I'm working with Symfony2 and:

I have this in the routing.yml

_welcome:
    resource: "@AcmeBundle/Controller/"
    type:     annotation

I this method within a controller:

/**
 * @Route("/{page}")
 */
public function staticAction($page)
{
    return $this->render('AcmeBundle:Static:'.$page.'.html.twig');
}

To generate common pages:

/home
/contact 
/privacy

But when I make the url on the menu:

<a href="{{ path('_welcome', {'page': 'home'}) }}">Home</a>
<a href="{{ path('_welcome', {'page': 'contact'}) }}">Contact</a>
<a href="{{ path('_welcome', {'page': 'privacy'}) }}">Privacy</a>

And I Symfony generates these urls:

…./?page=home
…./?page=contact
…./?page=privacy

And the right would be:

/home
/contact
/privacy

What must I do?

You've to add a route name in your controller route annotations as follow,

/**
 * @Route("/{page}", name="static")
 */
public function staticAction($page)
{
    // ... 
}

You could then call the twig path helper using that name,

<a href="{{ path('static', {'page': 'home'}) }}">Home</a>
