I have a json object that I received by making a get API call. I make this call to receive a list of objects. It's a list of post... So I have an array of Post Objects.
Here the output :
{
"total":2,
"data":[
{
"id":2,
"user":{
"id":1,
"username":"sandro.tchikovani"
},
"description":"cool",
"nb_comments":0,
"nb_likes":0,
"date_creation":"2014-04-13T20:07:34-0700"
},
{
"id":1,
"user":{
"id":1,
"username":"sandro.tchikovani",
},
"description":"Premier pooooste #lol",
"nb_comments":0,
"nb_likes":0,
"date_creation":"2014-04-13T15:15:35-0700"
}
]
}
I would like to deserialize the data part... The problem is that the Serializer in Symfony gives me an error ...
The error that I have :
Class array<Moodress\Bundle\PosteBundle\Entity\Poste> does not exist
How I do deserialize :
$lastPosts = $serializer->deserialize($data['data'], 'array<Moodress\Bundle\PosteBundle\Entity\Poste>', 'json');
How can I deserialze the data array... To have an array of Postes. I want to give to my view .twig an array Poste... I did precise the type when I deserialize... So I can't find what is the problem...
Thanks.
I think the best solution here is to create new PosteResponse class, like this one:
namespace Moodress\Bundle\PosteBundle\Response;
use JMS\Serializer\Annotation\Type;
class PosteResponse
{
/**
* @Type("integer")
*/
private $total;
/**
* @Type("array<Moodress\Bundle\PosteBundle\Entity\Poste>")
*/
private $data;
//getters here
}
and deserialize your response to that class:
$response = $serializer->deserialize(
$json,
'Moodress\Bundle\PosteBundle\Response\PosteResponse',
'json'
);
$posts = $response->getData();
That WILL do the trick, and it doesn't require you to decode and encode your json manually which is riddiculous in my opinion.
