A Symfony event listener for decoding JSON encoded request content.

About

Read the blog post about this repository at http://labs.qandidate.com/blog/2014/08/13/handling-angularjs-post-requests-in-symfony/

Currently this library supports both Symfony 2 and Symfony 3. Tests run against all LTS versions of Symfony 2 and against Symfony 3. As Symfony 3 requires PHP >5.5.9 and PHP 5.3 and 5.4 have been out of support for a while, we only test against 5.5+.

Install

Install qandidate/symfony-json-request-transformer through composer.

composer require qandidate/symfony-json-request-transformer

Register the event listener as a service:

<service id="kernel.event_listener.json_request_transformer" class="Qandidate\Common\Symfony\HttpKernel\EventListener\JsonRequestTransformerListener">
    <tag name="kernel.event_listener" event="kernel.request" method="onKernelRequest" priority="100" />
</service>

services:
  kernel.event_listener.json_request_transformer:
    class: Qandidate\Common\Symfony\HttpKernel\EventListener\JsonRequestTransformerListener
    tags:
      - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request, method: onKernelRequest, priority: 100 }

Example

A request with JSON content like:

{
  "foo": "bar"
}

will be decoded automatically so can access the foo property like:

echo $request->request->get('foo');
