OpenAPI Command Bundle

The OpenAPI Command Bundle is a Symfony bundle that allows you to build HTTP APIs around Command Bus messages (DTOs) without the need for manual controller creation or Symfony #[Route] attributes on your commands.

By using standard OpenAPI operation attributes (from zircote/swagger-php) directly on your command DTOs, this bundle automatically generates Symfony routes and handles the entire request-to-command lifecycle: deserialization, validation, dispatching to the messenger bus, and responding.

Key Features

• OpenAPI-Driven Routing: Define your API endpoints directly on your command DTOs using #[OA\Post], #[OA\Get], #[OA\Put], etc.
• No Manual Controllers: A single CommandController handles all generated routes by default.
• Automatic Deserialization: Automatically maps JSON request bodies, route parameters, and query parameters to your command DTOs.
• Two-Layer Validation: Each request is checked against the OpenAPI schema (headers, query parameters, body shape via league/openapi-psr7-validator) and the deserialized command is validated with Symfony Validator constraints before it reaches your handler.
• Messenger Integration: Dispatches your commands directly to the Symfony Messenger bus.
• Auto-Generated Documentation: Seamlessly integrates with NelmioApiDocBundle to include your command-based routes in your OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.
• Problem Details Support: Returns RFC 7807 compliant error responses for validation and mapping errors.

Installation

1. Install via Composer

2. Enable the Bundle

If you are using Symfony Flex, the bundle will be automatically enabled. Otherwise, add it to your config/bundles.php:

Usage

1. Create a Command DTO

Annotate your command with OpenAPI attributes. No Symfony #[Route] is needed.

2. Create a Message Handler

Implement a standard Symfony Messenger handler for your command.

3. Call the API

The bundle automatically registers the route /api/projects (POST).

The bundle will:

1. Detect the route and map it to CreateProjectCommand.
2. Deserialize the JSON body into the command object.
3. Validate the command using Symfony Validator.
4. Dispatch the command to the Messenger bus.
5. Return the handler's result as a JSON response with an appropriate status code (e.g., 201 Created).

Configuration

You can customize the bundle's behavior in config/packages/stixx_openapi_command.yaml:

Stability & supported API

The bundle distinguishes a small public API surface from its internal implementation. Public surface is the contract you can safely depend on; internals can change in any release.

Public (@api) — guaranteed BC across minor releases:

Internal (@internal) — everything else, including default implementations like JsonResponder, DefaultExceptionToApiProblemTransformer, RequestValidator, the controllers, DI extension, compiler passes, route loaders, and event subscribers. Do not extend or rely on these directly; replace them through the @api interfaces above.

The bundle's configuration schema (the keys under stixx_openapi_command:) is also part of the supported API.

See Extension Points for a worked example of each extension interface.

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• Symfony 7.3+ or 8.0+
