Property Access

config/packages/property_access.php binds the Symfony PropertyAccess component.

What it does​

Binds PropertyAccessorInterface to an autowired instance of Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccessor.

The PropertyAccessor is used internally by the framework (e.g. the parameter converter pipeline) to read and write object properties via property paths like user.profile.name.

Customising the accessor​

If you need to configure the PropertyAccessor (e.g. to enable magic methods or throw exceptions on invalid property paths), override the binding in services.php:

// services.php
use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccessor;
use Symfony\Component\PropertyAccess\PropertyAccessorInterface;
use function DI\factory;

PropertyAccessorInterface::class => factory(function () {
    return new PropertyAccessor(
        magicMethods: PropertyAccessor::MAGIC_GET | PropertyAccessor::MAGIC_SET,
        throwExceptionOnInvalidIndex: true,
    );
}),
