fosRestBundle : Send Array into Http Request Header

Question

Aim : Send an Http request as an array (i'm looking to the uri syntax if it's possible to send an array by the header of the Http)

Server Side

ProfilHandler.php My Profil Handler

/**
     * Get a list of News.
     *
     * @param int $limit  the limit of the result
     * @param int $offset starting from the offset
     * @param array $sector get profils by sectors
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function all($limit = 5, $offset = 0,$sector)
    {
        return $this->repository->findBy(array(), null, $limit, $offset, $sector);
    }

ProfilController.php My Profil Controller

/**
     * List all profiles.
     *
     * @ApiDoc(
     *   resource = true,
     *   statusCodes = {

     */
    // ....
    public function getProfilsAction(Request $request, ParamFetcherInterface $paramFetcher)
    {
        $offset = $paramFetcher->get('offset');
        $offset = null == $offset ? 0 : $offset;
        $limit = $paramFetcher->get('limit');
        $secteur = $paramFetcher->get('sector');

        return $this->container->get('genius_profile.profil.handler')->all($limit, $offset,$sector);
    }

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible. For example:

Construct url like this: url -> http://your-app.dev/app_dev.php/some/route/?options[city]=1231&options[county]=3432

then in controller for some/route action you can get

$arr = $request->get('options', array());

And then $arr should conatin:

Array
(
    [city] => 1231
    [county] => 3432
)

[Edit]:

Maybe try this:

Remove requirements for sector (or set it to match comma separeted list requirements="[\w,]+":

* @Annotations\QueryParam(name="sector", default="IT", description="How many pages to return.")

Then construct url with sector as an comma separated list, for example

?offset=5&limit=10&sector=IT,HEALTH

And inside controller retrive it like this:

$secteur = explode(',', $paramFetcher->get('sector'));

[Edit2]:

public function all($limit = 5, $offset = 0,$secteur)     {
    if (sizeof($secteur)>=1){
        return $this->repository->findBy(array('secteur' => $secteur), array('secteur' => 'ASC'));
    }
    return $this->repository->findBy(array(), null, $limit);
}
