v2.1 Operation Path Naming

Operation Path Naming

With API Platform Core, you can configure the default resolver used to generate operation paths. Pre-registered resolvers are available and can easily be overridden.

Configuration

There are two pre-registered operation path naming services:

Service nameEntity namePath result
api_platform.path_segment_name_generator.underscoreMyResource/my_resources
api_platform.path_segment_name_generator.dashMyResource/my-resources

The default resolver is api_platform.path_segment_name_generator.underscore. To change it to the dash resolver, add the following lines to app/config/config.yml:

# app/config/config.yml

api_platform:
    path_segment_name_generator: api_platform.path_segment_name_generator.dash

Create a Custom Operation Path Resolver

Let’s assume we need URLs without separators (e.g. api.tld/myresources)

Defining the Operation Path Resolver

Make sure the custom resolver implements ApiPlatform\Core\PathResolver\OperationPathResolverInterface:

<?php

// src/AppBundle/PathResolver/NoSeparatorsOperationPathResolver.php

namespace AppBundle\PathResolver;

use ApiPlatform\Core\PathResolver\OperationPathResolverInterface;
use Doctrine\Common\Inflector\Inflector;

final class NoSeparatorsOperationPathResolver implements OperationPathResolverInterface
{
    public function resolveOperationPath(string $resourceShortName, array $operation, bool $collection) : string
    {
        $path = Inflector::pluralize(strtolower($resourceShortName));
        if (!$collection) {
            $path .= '/{id}';
        }
        $path .= '.{_format}';

        return $path;
    }
}

Note that $resourceShortName contains a camel case string, by default the resource class name (e.g. MyResource).

Registering the Service

If you haven’t disabled the autowiring option, the service will be registered automatically and you have nothing more to do. Otherwise, you must register this class a service like in the following example:

# app/config/services.yml
services:
    'AppBundle\PathResolver\NoSeparatorsOperationPathResolver': ~

Configure It

# app/config/config.yml

api_platform:
    path_segment_name_generator: 'AppBundle\PathResolver\NoSeparatorsOperationPathResolver'
