16. API¶
SonataPageBundle embeds Controllers to provide an API through FOSRestBundle, with its documentation provided by NelmioApiDocBundle.
16.1. Setup¶
If you wish to use it, you must first follow the installation instructions of both bundles:
Here’s the configuration we used, you may adapt it to your needs:
- YAML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
fos_rest: param_fetcher_listener: true body_listener: true format_listener: true view: view_response_listener: force body_converter: enabled: true validate: true
- YAML
1 2 3 4
sensio_framework_extra: view: { annotations: false } router: { annotations: true } request: { converters: true }
- YAML
1 2
twig: exception_controller: 'FOS\RestBundle\Controller\ExceptionController::showAction'
- YAML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
# for SonataPageBundle > 2.3.6 jms_serializer: metadata: directories: - path: "%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/sonata-project/datagrid-bundle/Resources/config/serializer" namespace_prefix: 'Sonata\DatagridBundle'
In order to activate the API’s, you’ll also need to add this to your routing:
- YAML
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
# config/routes.yaml NelmioApiDocBundle: resource: "@NelmioApiDocBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml" prefix: /api/doc sonata_api_page: type: rest prefix: /api/page resource: "@SonataPageBundle/Resources/config/routing/api.xml"
16.2. Serialization¶
We’re using serializations groups from JMSSerializerBundle to customize the inputs & outputs.
The taxonomy is as follows:
sonata_api_read
is the group used to display entitiessonata_api_write
is the group used for input entities (when used instead of forms)
If you wish to customize the outputted data, feel free to setup your own serialization options by configuring JMSSerializer with those groups.
