Bundle to simplify Symfony API creation

Version 2.0. of the bundle works with Symfony 7.x.x

This bundle streamlines API development using convenient annotations. It requires the extension of AbstractPGTRest.

Getting Started

To begin, extend the bundle in your controller:

class UserController extends AbstractPGTRest

Ensure the responseOptionsService is initialized by invoking the parent constructor:

parent::__construct($responseOptionsService);

Example Usage

Utilize the bundle through an illustrative example:

//UserEntity
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Attribute\Groups;

#[Groups(["user:read"])] // Initialize the group for serialization
#[ORM\Column(length: 255)]
private ?string $name = null;

//UserController
use App\Repository\UserRepository;
use PGTRest\Attribute\ResponseOptions;
use PGTRest\Controller\AbstractPGTRest;
use PGTRest\Service\ResponseOptionsService;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Attribute\Route;

    public function __construct(ResponseOptionsService $responseOptionsService)
    {
        parent::__construct($responseOptionsService);  
    }

    #[Route('/users', name: 'app_users_get', methods: ["GET"])]
    #[ResponseOptions(statusCode: 200, groups: ["user:read"], formatDate: 'Y-m-d']) // Set the response options with the desired status code and serialization group
    public function index(UserRepository $userRepository): Response
    {
        $users = $userRepository->findAll();
    
        return $this->view($users); //option 1
        //return $this->view(['all_users' => $users]); option 2
    }

//option 1
{
    "users": [
        {
            "name": "John"
        },
        {
            "name": "Jane"
        }
    ]
}

//option 2
{
    "all_users": [
        {
            "name": "John"
        },
        {
            "name": "Jane"
        }
    ]
}

Note: The view method accepts an array of data and optional parameters for $statusCode and $groups

Additional Features

When the formatDate option is set, the bundle will format the date fields in the response according to the specified format.

#[ResponseOptions(statusCode: 200, groups: ["user:read"], formatDate: 'Y-m-d'])
