Allow other operation than GET for sub resources

[soullivaneuh]

As described in the documentation:

Since ApiPlatform 2.1, you can declare subresources (only for GET operation at the moment).

At the moment mean it will change, right? 😜

So, here is something planned about it? Do you think it's something easy to do?

Wouldn't be that hard but definitely requires work.

POST /dummy/1/relatedDummy

Would expect a RelatedDummy and will have to set the reverse relation on dummy/1 to this new one. I think that it should work without much additions if Doctrine can persist the owner from the opposite side?

Anyway, for now I'd advise you to build a custom operation with a DataPersister handling your specific use case.

Would you please like to elaborate? With a sample or a link? Thanks.

Something like:

<?php
/**
 * @ApiResource(
 *     itemOperation={
 *          "answer_post"= {
 *              "method"="POST",
 *              "path"="/question/{id}/answer
 *          }
 *      }
 * )
 */

Then https://api-platform.com/docs/core/data-persisters/#creating-a-custom-data-persister (you can use the Request with the attribute given by $request->attributes->get('_api_item_operation_name') in the support method to check that you call this operation only when the operation name is answer_post)

Thank you @soyuka, I'll give a try. 😉

Hello @soyuka, @soullivaneuh, is there any update?

I'm checking and see if I can help implementing this. It will be a great feature for the project I'm working on as we have many real use cases for it. Let me know 😃

closing will be supported in 3.0
