Get Default Bundle Configuration Using Console Command in Symfony 7

Symfony has continually evolved to provide developers with robust tools and features for building web applications. In Symfony, understanding and configuring bundles is a crucial aspect of crafting a well-architected application. This tutorial demonstrates how to get default bundle configuration using console command in Symfony 7.

Symfony provides the config:dump-reference command, which allows getting the default configuration for a given bundle. For example, the following command obtains the default configuration details for the SecurityBundle:

php bin/console config:dump-reference SecurityBundle

Once executed, Symfony will present a structured output detailing the default configuration options available for the SecurityBundle.

Here's an example snippet from the output:
