用Symfony和FOSRestBundle保存ManyToOne-Relationships

Question

我使用symfony与FOSRestBundle为我的项目。我用自己的代码来做这个例子是为了降低复杂性。可能忘记重命名变量了

我在保存一篇只有一个类别的文章时遇到问题。这些类别已经存在于数据库中。我不想创建新的分类

我不确定做这项工作的最佳做法是什么。所以我尝试了几种方法并记录了错误消息(参见the Form-Type)

的实体

class Article
{
  private $id;
  private $name;
  /* this is ManyToOne */
  private $category;
  function getId() {/* ... */}
  function setName($name) {/* ... */}
  function getName() {/* ... */}
  function setCategory(Category $cat) {/* ... */}
  function getCategory() {/* ... */}
}
class Category
{
  private $id;
  private $name;
  function getId() {/* ... */}
  function setName($name) {/* ... */}
  function getName() {/* ... */}
}

JSON POST

{
  "name": "testName"
  "category": {
    "name": "nameOfAExistingCategory"
  }
}

表单类型

class ArticleType extends AbstractType
{
  /**
   * @param FormBuilderInterface $builder
   * @param array $options
   */
  public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
  {
      $builder
          ->add('name')
          // here i tried out several ways of saving the category
          ->add('category')
          // error-message
          //Argument 1 passed to AppBundle\Entity\Article::setCategory() must be an instance of AppBundle\Entity\Category, array given, called in ...../vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/PropertyAccess/PropertyAccessor.php on line 410 and defined",
          // OR
          ->add('category', new CategoryType())
          // error-message
          // A new entity was found through the relationship 'AppBundle\Entity\Article#category' that was not configured to cascade persist operations for entity: AppBundle\Entity\Category@000000000c958844000000003bf8ec58. To solve this issue: Either explicitly call EntityManager#persist() on this unknown entity or configure cascade persist  this association in the mapping for example @ManyToOne(..,cascade={"persist"}). If you cannot find out which entity causes the problem implement 'AppBundle\Entity\Category#__toString()' to get a clue

          // OR
          ->add('category', 'entity', array(
              'class' => 'AppBundle:Category',
          ))
          // error-message
          // message":"category:n                    ERROR: This value is not valid
      ;
  }
  /* ... */
}

h2控制器

public function postAction(Request $request) {
  $form = $this->createForm(
      new ArticleType(),
      new Article(),
      array('method' => 'POST'));
  $form->submit($request->request->all());
  if (!$form->isValid()) {
      throw new HttpException(Codes::HTTP_BAD_REQUEST, $form->getErrors(true, false));
  }
  $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
  $article = $form->getData();
  $em->persist($article);
  $em->flush();
  return $article;
}

Answer 1

下面是工作示例:

的实体

class Article
{
  ...
  private $category;
  ...
  function setCategory(Category $cat) {/* ... */}
  function getCategory() {/* ... */}
}
class Category
{
  private $id;
  ...
  function getId() {/* ... */}
}

JSON POST

{
  "name": "testName",
  "category": 1
}

的表单类型

public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
  $builder
      ->add('name')
      ->add('category', 'entity', [
        'class' => CATEGORY_CLASS,
        'property' => 'id'
      ])
  ;
}

控制器

public function postAction(Request $request) {
  $article = new Article();
  $form = $this->createForm(
      new ArticleType(),
      $article,
      array('method' => 'POST'));
  $form->handleRequest($request);
  if (!$form->isValid()) {
      throw new HttpException(Codes::HTTP_BAD_REQUEST, $form->getErrors(true, false));
  }
  if ($form->isValid()) {
    $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
    $em->persist($article);
    $em->flush();
    return $article; 
  }
  return $form;
}
