Frontend controller

Deprecated since version 13.4

The class \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Controller\TypoScriptFrontendController and its global instance $GLOBALS['TSFE'] have been marked as deprecated. The class will be removed with TYPO3 v14.

Use the frontend.page.information request attribute for page-related properties.

The frontend.controller frontend request attribute provides access to the \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Controller\TypoScriptFrontendController object.

Example:

$frontendController = $request->getAttribute('frontend.controller');
$rootline = $frontendController->rootLine;  // Mind the capital "L"

Attention

In former TYPO3 versions you have to retrieve the TypoScriptFrontendController via the global variable $GLOBALS['TSFE']. This should be avoided now, instead use the request attribute.
