Today we are implementing a database driven navigation into a Symfony application. My prefered way to complete this task is to create a Twig Extension in combination with LazyLoading to prevent overhead and initiation of unused classes. With this solution we have our query logic inside the repositories and the markup inside a Twig template to ensure a clean separation. As an alternative approach you could register your navigation as a service or simply render a controller method inside your Twig template.
I suggest you install The Symfony MakerBundle into your project to enable some awesome console commands that will make your day easier. If you haven't installed it already you can download and install the bundle with one simple command in your console.
$ composer require symfony/maker-bundle --dev
