This patch alters
RestController
to allow returningZF\Hal\Entity
and/orZF\Hal\Collection
instances from resources, allowing the ability to fully craft the payload before returning.In particular, and specific to the issue this addresses, the
create()
method was updated to allow returning aCollection
instance (which it didn't handle before).When an Entity or Collection is returned, they are passed to one of
createHalEntity()
orcreateHalCollection()
:createHalEntity()
returns the instance unchanged if it already has aself
relational link or does not have an identifier; otherwise, it passes it to theHal
plugin'screateEntity()
method, which ensures that aself
relational link is injected.createHalCollection()
passes the instance on to a new method,prepareHalCollection()
, which does the following:self
relational link if none is present.These changes will simplify batch POST operations, as well as allow any method responsible for returning an entity or collection to return a specifically crafted one without requiring also creating the response.
This patch addresses both:
