Embedded Relations

Hi, someone else know why normalizationContext & denormalizationContext don't work with Symfony 7 et API Plateform 3.2 ?

When i add this :

#[ApiResource(
	shortName: 'Pokemon',
	description: 'The Pokemon List',
	operations: [
		new Get(uriTemplate: '/pokemon/{id}'),
		new GetCollection(uriTemplate: '/pokemon'),
		new Post(uriTemplate: '/pokemon/{id}'),
		new Put(uriTemplate: '/pokemon/{id}'),
		new Patch(uriTemplate: '/pokemon/{id}'),
		new Delete(uriTemplate: '/pokemon/{id}'),
	],
	normalizationContext: ['groups' => ['pokemon']],
	denormalizationContext: ['groups' => ['pokemon']]
)]

API Platform return to me :

 "@id": "/api/errors/500",
  "@type": "hydra:Error",
  "title": "An error occurred",
  "detail": "Attempted to load class \"ClassMetadataInfo\" from namespace \"Doctrine\\ORM\\Mapping\".\nDid you forget a \"use\" statement for another namespace?",
  "status": 500,
  "type": "/errors/500",
  "trace": [
    {
      "file": "/var/www/symfony/vendor/api-platform/core/src/Doctrine/Orm/Extension/EagerLoadingExtension.php",
      "line": 98,
      "function": "joinRelations",
      "class": "ApiPlatform\\Doctrine\\Orm\\Extension\\EagerLoadingExtension",
      "type": "->"
    },

If i remove normalization i have :

    {
      "@id": "/api/pokemon/1",
      "@type": "Pokemon",
      "id": 1,
      "name": "bulbasaur",
      "height": 0.7,
      "weight": 6.9,
      "baseExperience": 64,
      "types": [
        "/api/types/1",
        "/api/types/2"
      ]
    },

My entity :

<?php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use ApiPlatform\Metadata\Get;
use ApiPlatform\Metadata\Put;
use ApiPlatform\Metadata\Link;
use ApiPlatform\Metadata\Post;

	}

	}

	{

	}

	public function setHeight(float $height): static
	{
		$this->height = $height;

		return $this;
	}

	public function getWeight(): ?float
	{
		return $this->weight;
	}

	public function setWeight(float $weight): static
	{
		$this->weight = $weight;

		return $this;
	}

	public function getBaseExperience(): ?int
	{
		return $this->baseExperience;
	}

	public function setBaseExperience(int $baseExperience): static
	{
		$this->baseExperience = $baseExperience;

		return $this;
	}

	/**
	 * @return Collection<int, Type>
	 */
	public function getTypes(): Collection
	{
		return $this->types;
	}

	public function addType(Type $type): static
	{
		if (!$this->types->contains($type)) {
			$this->types->add($type);
		}

		return $this;
	}

	public function removeType(Type $type): static
	{
		$this->types->removeElement($type);

		return $this;
	}
}

Thanks a lot !

Hi everyone! I'm currently using the API Platform for my personal project. However, I'm facing an issue. I have three entity relations, which means three levels of embedded relations with normalizationContext groups. The problem is that I can only retrieve data object from the 2 stages. The format of the third stage is a URI and not object.

Hi! Thank you for all these awesome courses! I love it, I stopped my netflix subscription as I prefer to chill on SymfonyCast ;)

Aren't serialization groups going whild when you have to add role access to differents fields of the entity, when you have several roles (admin / seller / customer / public...)? How do you deal with this? Isn't it starting to be a mess in Entities? And when your API is growing with 10 or 20 entities with relations that you need to embed? Maybe you don't embed anymore and rely on Vulcain in this case?

Cheers

Edit : Oh sorry I was in too much of a hurry, all my questions seems to have an answer in the next part : https://symfonycasts.com/screencast/api-platform-security
Thank you very much

Hello there!
Quick question when you have some extra time.
In your exact configuration, when you make a PUT request on the USER, to change for example its username, what do you get in the response, specifically in the embedded collection? Do you get the extra fields you configured or just the IRIs of the treasures owned by the User?
In my very similar case, when I GET the parent, it works just fine, the extra fields of the Children are there. But when I update the parent entity, the configurated fields of the children are systemically replaced by the unique IRIs, breaking all the UI using those fields (for example an Image I display using its name).
I really don't get what I'm doing wrong and don't find where to look for my mistake.
Thanks :)
