I'm trying to return a virtual property with API Platform, but the only thing that I can get is the IRI.
I have multiple User, linked to multiple Organization. Those Organization have only one "Owner" (User class).
I want a property named "coach" which return the Owner of the first Organization
The case is a bit more complex but I simplified it.
App\Entity\User
/**
* @ApiResource(
* itemOperations={
* "get"={"security"="is_granted('view', object)"},
* },
* normalizationContext={"groups"={"user", "user:read"}},
* denormalizationContext={"groups"={"user", "user:write"}}
* )
* @ORM\Table(name="user")
*/
class User extends BaseUser
{
/**
* @ORM\Id()
* @ORM\GeneratedValue()
* @ORM\Column(type="integer")
*/
protected $id;
/**
* @Groups({"user"})
*/
protected $email;
/**
* @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255, nullable=true)
* @Groups({"user"})
*/
private $firstName;
/**
* @ApiProperty()
* @Groups({"user"})
*/
private $coach;
/**
* User constructor.
*/
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->organizations = new ArrayCollection();
}
[...]
public function getCoach(): ?User
{
$coach = null;
if (count($this->getOrganizations()) > 0) {
$coach = $this->getOrganizations()->first()->getOwnerUser();
}
return $coach;
}
}
I still getting
{
email: xxx;
firstName: xxx;
organizations: [
{
name: xxx;
},
{
name: xxx;
}
],
coach: "/api/users/4"
}
and I would like a proper User like
{
email: xxx;
firstName: xxx;
organizations: [
{
name: xxx;
},
{
name: xxx;
}
],
coach: {
email: xxx;
firstName: xxx;
}
}
