Usage

How does it work ?

Let's say you have 2 entities Father and Son as ApiResource

With these data in your database:

Let's say you want to update the name of the Father from father1 to father2 and the age of 1 of his children son1 only with 1 request. It's currently impossible only with ApiPlatform. But with this Bundle you can do it now by calling doctrineMergePersistentCollection->merge as shown in the Usage.

• The first argument of the function take a PersistentCollection which correspond to all the sons of the father
• The second argument is a callable which define how 2 sons are the same (in our example it's the name $son1->getName() === $son2->getName())
• The second argument is a callable which define how to update a son if $son1->getName() === $son2->getName() return true;

Use case (example)

1) Add a son PUT /api/fathers/1

This will change the name of the father to father2 and add a son. Result:

2) Update son2 age PUT /api/fathers/1

This will change the name of the father to father2 and son2 age. Result:
