Would it be best practice to have the serializer method in a service class rather than in the base controller?

Victor SFCASTS Shaun T. 8 years ago

Hey Shaun,

It would have more sense if you want to unit-test this serializer service or if you need to reuse it in another spot, like in a service, etc. But for now, this serialize() method contains a single line of code, so there's no code duplication. It probably makes sense to create an abstract controller and move that method to it if you need to use that serialize() method in a few controllers.

Cheers!

This tutorial uses an older version of Symfony. The concepts of REST are still valid, but I recommend using API Platform in new Symfony apps.
