RequestObjectResolverBundle

This bundle can help you to deserialize incoming request parameters from symfomy http request object to your DTO objects.

Deserialized objects are validated via symfony/validator, so when using such objects in controllers, we can be sure that the data format and their set in the object are correct and ready for further processing.

Bundle can deserialize:

Install

composer require mops1k/request-object-resolver-bundle

Use

Example:

<?php

use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Query;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Path;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class ExampleRequest
{
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\GreaterThan(0)]
    public ?int $id = null;
    
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\NotBlank]
    public ?string $name = null;
}

/**
 * Request path example: /25?name=Julian
 */
class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/{id}', methods: [Request::METHOD_GET])]
    public function __invoke(#[Query, Path] ExampleRequest $exampleRequest): JsonResponse
    {
        // some logic with $exampleRequest
        
        return new JsonResponse([
            'id' => $exampleRequest->id,
            'name' => $exampleRequest->name,
        ]);
    }
}

Map field to another name

Whole library attributes have a map parameter. With this parameter you can map from one field name to another.

Example:

<?php

use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Query;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Path;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class ExampleRequest
{
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\GreaterThan(0)]
    public ?int $id = null;
    
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\NotBlank]
    public ?string $title = null;
}

/**
 * Request path example: /25?name=Julian
 */
class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/{id}', methods: [Request::METHOD_GET])]
    public function __invoke(#[Query(map: ['name' => 'title']), Path] ExampleRequest $exampleRequest): JsonResponse
    {
        // some logic with $exampleRequest
        
        return new JsonResponse([
            'id' => $exampleRequest->id,
            'title' => $exampleRequest->name,
        ]);
    }
}

Skip dto validation

If your logic does not need automatic validation of the request object for some reason, then you can disable it with RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\SkipValidation attribute.

Example:

<?php

use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Query;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Path;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\SkipValidation;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class ExampleRequest
{
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\GreaterThan(0)]
    public ?int $id = null;
    
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\NotBlank]
    public ?string $name = null;
}

/**
 * Request path example: /-1?name=
 */
class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/{id}', methods: [Request::METHOD_GET])]
    public function __invoke(#[Query, Path, SkipValidation] ExampleRequest $exampleRequest): JsonResponse
    {
        // some logic with $exampleRequest
        
        return new JsonResponse([
            'id' => $exampleRequest->id,
            'name' => $exampleRequest->name,
        ]);
    }
}

Validation groups

If you want to use validation groups, then use attribute \RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\ValidationGroups.

Example:

<?php

use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Query;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Path;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\ValidationGroups;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class ExampleRequest
{
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\GreaterThan(0, groups: ['default'])]
    public ?int $id = null;
    
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\NotBlank]
    public ?string $name = null;
}

/**
 * Request path example: /25?name=Julian
 */
class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/{id}', methods: [Request::METHOD_POST])]
    public function __invoke(#[Query, Path, ValidationGroups(groups: 'default')] ExampleRequest $exampleRequest): JsonResponse
    {
        // some logic with $exampleRequest
        
        return new JsonResponse([
            'id' => $exampleRequest->id,
            'name' => $exampleRequest->name,
        ]);
    }
}

Serialization context

If you want to add some serialization context, then in attributes you can set serializationContext property.

Example:

<?php

use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Query;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Path;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\ValidationGroups;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Groups;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class ExampleRequest
{
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\GreaterThan(0)]
    #[Groups(['default'])]
    public ?int $id = null;
    
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\NotBlank]
    public ?string $name = null;
}

/**
 * Request path example: /25?name=Julian
 */
class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/{id}', methods: [Request::METHOD_POST])]
    public function __invoke(#[Query(serializerContext: ['groups': ['default']]), Path] ExampleRequest $exampleRequest): JsonResponse
    {
        // some logic with $exampleRequest
        
        return new JsonResponse([
            'id' => $exampleRequest->id,
            'name' => $exampleRequest->name, // will throw error as uninitialized property
        ]);
    }
}

If you want to set context to all request parts which you want to deserialize to object, use \RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\SerializerContext attribute.

<?php

use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Query;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\Path;
use RequestObjectResolverBundle\Attribute\SerializerContext;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Groups;
use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints as Assert;

class ExampleRequest
{
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\GreaterThan(0)]
    #[Groups(['default'])]
    public ?int $id = null;
    
    #[Assert\NotNull]
    #[Assert\NotBlank]
    public ?string $name = null;
}

/**
 * Request path example: /25?name=Julian
 */
class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/{id}', methods: [Request::METHOD_POST])]
    public function __invoke(#[Query, Path, SerializerContext(['groups': ['default']])] ExampleRequest $exampleRequest): JsonResponse
    {
        // some logic with $exampleRequest
        
        return new JsonResponse([
            'id' => $exampleRequest->id,
            'name' => $exampleRequest->name, // will throw error as uninitialized property
        ]);
    }
}

Overriding values with request parts combination

These are table of request parts priority overriding (if have same key name):

Request partPriority (lower value = higher priority)
Query30
Path20
Form10
Content0

Example. If you handle Path, Query and Content in same object and all of them have same field (id for example), then resulting field value will be from Form request part.
