extended-resource

Installation

The recommended way to install is via Composer:

composer require api-platform-tools/extended-resource

This package requires at least PHP 8.1.0.

Other packages may come with api resources that with some configuration may not be suited for straight away usage in a project. This is why ExtendedApiResource is useful to override part of options defined in default attributes.

For example, take a look at ApiPlatformTools\Tests\Assets\BaseResource class. It defines api resource. If you want iri to be /api/vendor/bases, you have to do the following:

1. Create new class that extends resource you want to override
2. Add ExtendedApiResouce attribute insted of ApiResource attribute
3. Pass only those options that you want to override, others will be taken from resource you are extending

namespace ApiPlatformTools\Tests\Assets;

use ApiPlatformTools\Attribute\ExtendedApiResource;

#[ExtendedApiResource(routePrefix: '/vendor')]
class VendorResource extends ApiPlatformTools\Tests\Assets\BaseResource
{
}

ExtendedApiResouce attribute checks which resource you are extending and overrides options given in extension, keeping other options same as in parent resource.

IMPORTANT: You need to disable extended resource using api_platform.openapi.factory decorator, otherwise you will have 2 instances of base resource: one with /api/bases iri and one with /api/vendor/bases iri.
