I use last version of API Platform, and I was wondering if I could change the way to handle arrays in query string.
Default behavior relies on PHP way to handle arrays :
/customers?cars[]=audi&cars[]=mercedes&cars[]=bmw
According to Swagger documentation : https://swagger.io/docs/specification/serialization/, it can handle different ways :
/users?id=3,4,5
/users?id=3|4|5
Can I use this format using API Platform? I didn't find anything in the options, I suppose I can "trick" using Events (DeserializeListener
maybe).
This input format seems supported by Swagger: the style name of the parameter isdeepObject
.
There are many ways to support multiple inputs in query because the query is in fact a simple string containingvar=value
, therefore you can imagine whatever you want since var may be duplicated. PHP use the array-style (ordeepObject
) approach by default, and this is fine.
API Platform as support for this kind of "multiple filter" query by default: https://api-platform.com/docs/core/filters/#search-filter
If you want to use the following approach:/users?id=3|4|5
, you can define a custom filter with ease and use the request directly to explode theid
parameter and complete your query internally.
