Should class yii\rest\Serializer support a public property $params like Pagination and Sort?

[fproject]

This will be useful when we want to use an array parameters (name => value) to specify fields and expand parameters instead of using values come from Yii::$app->getRequest().

The implementing logic is just like the params property of yii\data\Pagination or yii\data\Sort

I am unsure it such enhancement violates the HATEOS REST, but still: #8404

isn't this already possible using the $request property? @fproject please describe your use case in more detail.

[fproject]

In my case, I have fields and expand values come from a calculation on serveral HTTP request parameters, not directly from the parameters themselves.
And then, I want to set them to yii\rest\Serializer. Curently the only way is mocking a Request object that return these values via get method.

I think if we support using an array parameters (name => value) just like the params property of yii\data\Pagination or yii\data\Sort, it will be easier and more understandable.

And I also think this will not violate HATEOAS constraints.
