You need PHP (7.x), composer, and Symfony 4
To get code coverage, don't forget that you need xDebug when you run PHPUnit or you will get this message: Error: No code coverage driver is available
If xDebug is not in the php configuration registered as your default php, you can run it manually:
PathToYouPHPWithXDebug vendor\phpunit\phpunit\phpunit
Working with ApiPlatform, i wanted to use custom POST route where i could send complex json data which represents nested entities. To realize this i choose to use the ParamConverters. So with little convention (json props must be the same as php entity props) and few ParamConverters (one per entity) extending the Rebolon/Request/ItemAbstractConverter (for one entity) or ListAbstractConverter (for collection of entities), it works !
Here are some samples of json sent to the custom routes:
// The most complete sample, with de-duplication of editor (only once will be created)
{
"book": {
"title": "Zombies in western culture",
"editors": [{
"publication_date": "1519664915",
"collection": "printed version",
"isbn": "9781783743230",
"editor": {
"name": "Open Book Publishers"
}
}, {
"publication_date": "1519747464",
"collection": "ebooks",
"isbn": "9791036500824",
"editor": {
"name": "Open Book Publishers"
}
}],
"authors": [{
"role": {
"translation_key": "WRITER"
},
"author": {
"firstname": "Marc",
"lastname": "O'Brien"
}
}, {
"role": {
"translation_key": "WRITER"
},
"author": {
"firstname": "Paul",
"lastname": "Kyprianou"
}
}],
"serie": {
"name": "Open Reports Series"
}
}
}
// This one re-use database information for editor / author / job / serie
{
"book": {
"title": "Oh my god, how simple it is !",
"editors": [{
"publication_date": "1519664915",
"collection": "from my head",
"isbn": "9781783742530",
"editor": 1
}, {
"publication_date": "1519747464",
"collection": "ebooks",
"isbn": "9782821883963",
"editor": {
"name": "Open Book Publishers"
}
}],
"authors": [{
"role": 2,
"author": 3
}, {
"role": {
"translation_key": "WRITER"
},
"author": {
"firstname": "Paul",
"lastname": "Kyprianou"
}
}],
"serie": {
"id": 4,
"name": "whatever because the paramConverte will only take care of the id property"
}
}
The AbstractConverter is able to deduplicate entity (if there is more than one the same entity in the json). It's also able to retreive information from database if:
- you put ID instead of object inside the json (2nd sample above with editors[0].editor or authors[0].role)
- you send an object that contains the id field (or any other id prop name that you define in the specific Converter)
You can have a look at the tests to get more informations about how to use this component. I have wrote those test with sample Entities and Converter to make it more understandable.
Add all your ParamConverters in the config/services.yaml file, like this:
services:
...
App\Request\ParamConverter\Library\BookConverter:
public: true
arguments:
- '@validator'
tags:
- { name: request.param_converter, priority: -2, converter: book }
