symfony doctrine 鉴别器错误序列化器

Question

I use a platform to develop rest API, now when I have serialized data in normalize and denormalize I found an error. I use doctrine inheritance for entities, I have class person abstract class content commons attributes and I create class Partner, Participant, and declarant, all classes extend for person class, now when I add groups in Participant class I found error, the error is when I add a group in partner and declarant attributes it displays but when I add also a group in attributes class Person, attributes in class Participant is not display

Person entity:

how to display attributs of person entity and attribut of Participant also.. thanks for advanced

Answer 1

Even if doctrine supports inheritance very well, api-platform does not.

Deserialization ignore either parent class properties or child class properties.

The real question is why do you need inheritance?

1. to add a new entity class linked to Person?
2. to use polymorphism, like public function heal(Person $person): void {} ?
3. to gather common properties?

If it's the 1. , you're quite screwed up. For example, suppose you want to add a Dog class:

/*
 * @ApiResource
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class Dog
{
    /*
     * @Column
     */
    private $name;

    /*
     * @var Person
     * @ManyToOne(class="Person")
     */
    private $owner;
}

Even with a concrete Person class, the serialization won't work as expected, the IRI generation does not detects the child class. You won't see several Dog instances like this:

{"name": "Bar", "owner": "/participants/1"}
{"name": "Foo", "owner": "/partners/2"}
{"name": "Dummy", "owner": "/declarants/4"}

Api-platform will try to create IRIs containing the /persons string. Fetching a /persons retrieve Person properties only.

If it's the 2. , your entities just need to implement a common interface, or you can use a visitor pattern.

If it's the 3. , the common way is to use doctrine embeddable objects . They supports the @Groups annotation.
