Leverage improved DX in route requirements

Open on Drupal.org →

Problem/Motivation

Route requirements are confusing:

foo:
  path: /foo
  requirements:
    _access: "TRUE"
    _entity_access: 'node.view'

Proposed resolution

Once https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/18712 is in we could convert that to:

foo:
  path: /foo
  requirements:
    access: TRUE
    entity_access: 'node.view'

Remaining tasks

Determine whether we want both steps or just one of the following:

  • Remove the underscore in front
  • Remove the quotes around the booleans, and allow arrays etc.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    I had not seen this issue before but I think it is worth considering. Both the quoted true and the leading underscore feels non standard and confusing to new users, so if we could allow both it would be a DX improvement.

    Let's ask the framework managers for an opinion.
