I hope I post this question in good way. I was trying to find an answer in google and symfony docs, but nothing is helpful for me - maybe due to my symfony skills (I don't know this framework - I'm trying to study :) ).
My goal is to get article from database (I know how to do it so I skipped this action in code, prepare a view and return as json - I it's possible using FOSRestBundle
My symfony version is 3.3.9, FOSRestBundle: 2.2.0 My problem is that I have a rest api project with this configuration:
fos_rest:
view:
default_engine: twig
view_response_listener: force
force_redirects:
html: true
# xml: true
formats:
jsonp: true
json: true
xml: true
rss: false
templating_formats:
html: true
json: true
mime_types:
json: ['application/json', 'application/x-json', 'application/vnd.example-com.foo+json']
rss: 'application/rss+xml'
jpg: 'image/jpeg'
png: 'image/png'
jsonp_handler: ~
body_listener: true
param_fetcher_listener: force
allowed_methods_listener: true
access_denied_listener:
json: true
format_listener:
rules:
- { path: ^/api/v1, priorities: [html, json, xml], fallback_format: json, prefer_extension: false }
routing_loader:
default_format: ~
exception:
codes:
'Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\ResourceNotFoundException': 404
'Doctrine\ORM\OptimisticLockException': HTTP_CONFLICT
messages:
'Symfony\Component\Routing\Exception\ResourceNotFoundException': true
service:
view_handler: fos_rest.view_handler.default
My controller action looks:
/**
* @ViewAnnotation()
*/
public function getArticleAction()
{
$data = [
'any' => 'any'
]; // get data, in this case list of users.
$view = $this->view($data, 200)->setTemplate('MyBundle:Article:getArticles.html.twig');
return $this->handleView($view);
}
The problem is that this code returns html instead of json. Moreover, for other controllers, which I don't want to render view for, I have this message:
Unable to find template "" (looked into: /var/www/html/app/Resources/views, /var/www/html/vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Bridge/Twig/Resources/views/Form).
If I try to change config.yml (fos_rest section) my api returns: {"any":"any"}
I can use JsonResponse and do what I want by skipping FOSRestBundle, but I would like to understand and be able to use FOSRestBundle. Could anybody help me and write step by step how I can reach what I want or send me any suggestion what is wrong?
