Where to put config file for my own library and have the path injected into Symfony service

Ok, so I have a library that I've written that I'd like to use in Symfony. It has it's configuration stored in a yml file.

At the moment I have the yml file in src/AppBundle/Resources/config. I need the path of this config file to be injected into the service. At the moment I have simply hard coded a relative path to the config file in the services.yml:-

service_name: class: My\Library\Service arguments: ["../src/AppBundle/Resources/config/my_library_config.yml"]

I feel like this isn't the correct way to go about this?

You can use the Extension class to generate the path for you and replace the argument when the container compiles.

However, Symfony already has a configuration processing method. The extension option is kind of useless without the configuration though, so if you're not building it to be re-used, use %kernel.root_dir% to prepend the right path.

If you are going to be reusing it, there's no point in making the configuration static. In that case I recommend you to make a configuration option so that people can configure your bundle/options theirself.

Is there an actual reason you want to make your own config though? You could simply define a parameter and store the whole config in a parameter, that saves you from creating and parsing your own configuration file and allows you to benefit from the parameter system.
