Knowledge of the root location is important since it can be a starting p= oint for API queries, or even links to home page, but as eZ Publish can be = used for multisite de= velopment, and as such root location can vary.
By default, root location ID is 2, but as it can be easily =
be changed by configuration, the best practice is to retrieve it dy=
namically.
Root location ID can be retrieved easily from ConfigResolver. Parameter name is content.tr=
ee_root.location_id.
<?php
namespace Acme\TestBundle\Controller;

$rootLocationId =3D $this->getConfigResolver()->getParameter(=
'content.tree_root.location_id' );
// ...
}
