在不使用控制器的情况下使用 symfony 从数据库加载活动用户列表

Question

I'm making a presonification menu on my navbar so that i can access from any page i don't want to use the getRepository inside a controller and pass to the frontend.

Is there a way on symfony 4 that I can get all the users from my database and call it to front? like the app.session.user (to get info on the logged user) for example?

Thanks!

As Cerad mentioned, you can embed a Controller in your templates : https://symfony.com/doc/current/templates.html#embedding-controllers

Instead of doing {% include 'base/navbar.html.twig' %} you will do

In your template :

{{ render(controller('App\\Controller\\BaseController::renderNavbar')) }}

In BaseController

public function renderNavbar(UserRepository $userRepository) {
    return $this->render('base/navbar.html.twig', [
        'activeUsers' => $userRepository->findActiveUsers(),
    ]);
}

It's not a route, it's simply a function that renders html, so you don't need to add annotations.
