Is there a way to use both dynamic and static path on one controller?

Question

I'm creating a Symfony CMS by myself. I want to map paths like /login and /{slug} at the same time, but I don't know if it is possible.

I tried simply setting both of the paths in 2 different controllers, but that didn't seem to work.

/**
*@Route('/login', name='login')
*/
public function login(){}

/**
*@Route('/{slug}', name='dynamic-site')
*/
public function dynamicSite(){}

With the setup above, the second path is reached every single time. There is no way to visit login. I expected Symfony to first try finding hard-coded routes, but it seems like it doesn't work like that.

The routing tries to match routes one by one in the order of their definitions. So, you have to order your controllers. Probably you have

controllers:
    resource: '../src/Controller/'
    type: annotation

You should add the "/login" before the "controllers" import

login:
    controller: App\Controller\Login
    type: annotation

The result should be

# config/routes.yaml
login:
    controller: App\Controller\Login
    type: annotation
Slug:
    controller: App\Controller\Slug
    type: annotation

Don't forget to change controller names according to your application!

You may re-read the docs - https://symfony.com/doc/current/routing.html

I, personally, prefer to use yaml, because the order is very explicit.

You should test if it is possible to have both imports

login:
    controller: App\Controller\Login
    type: annotation
controllers:
    resource: '../src/Controller/'
    type: annotation

You may get an error. If the error appear, then you will have to list all your controllers 1 by 1.
