Description
It would be very helpful to have the possibility to specify an alias for an attribute. This is the same as serialized_name in JMSSerializer".
@SerializedName
This annotation can be defined on a property to define the serialized name for a property. If this is not
defined, the property will be translated from camel-case to a lower-cased underscored name, e.g.
camelCase -> camel_case.
Here is an example YAML:
AppBundle\Entity\Product:
attributes:
id:
groups: [default]
name:
groups: [default]
brand.name:
alias: brand
groups: [default]I wonder about the general take on this.
This was also mentioned in #14924 .
My current workaround is using a custom NameConverter.
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Exception\UnsupportedException;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\NameConverter\NameConverterInterface;
class ArrayNameConverter implements NameConverterInterface
{
protected $map = [];
/**
* @param array $map
*/
public function __construct(array $map)
{
$this->map = $map;
}
public function normalize($propertyName)
{
return isset($this->map[$propertyName]) ? $this->map[$propertyName] : $propertyName;
}
public function denormalize($propertyName)
{
throw new UnsupportedException('This method needs to be implemented.');
}
}
$normalizer = new ObjectNormalizer($classMetadataFactory, new ArrayNameConverter(['brand.name' => 'brand']));
