Define Transfers

• you can create multiple files
• if multiple files have the same transfer they will be merged
  • if you define the same property twice the first on it gets is taken

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<transfers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../vendor/philipphermes/transfer-bundle/src/Resources/schema/transfer.xsd">

    <transfer name="User">
        <property name="email" type="string" description="The email of the user"/>
        <property name="password" type="string" description="The password of the user"/>
        <property name="addresses" type="Address[]" description="Shipping addresses" singular="address"
                  isNullable="true"/>
        <property name="roles" type="string[]" description="List of roles" isNullable="false"/>
    </transfer>

    <transfer name="Address">
        <property name="street" type="string"/>
    </transfer>
</transfers>

OpenAPI

you can add api="true" to transfers to add attributes and a ref automatically. child transfers won't get it automatically.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<transfers xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../vendor/philipphermes/transfer-bundle/src/Resources/schema/transfer.xsd">

    <transfer name="User" api="true">
        <property name="email" type="string" description="The email of the user"/>
        <property name="password" type="string" description="The password of the user"/>
        <property name="addresses" type="Address[]" description="Shipping addresses" singular="address"
                  isNullable="true"/>
        <property name="roles" type="string[]" description="List of roles" isNullable="false"/>
    </transfer>

    <transfer name="Address" api="true">
        <property name="street" type="string"/>
    </transfer>

    <transfer name="Error" api="true">
        <property name="status" type="int"/>
        <property name="messages" singular="message" type="ErrorMessage"/>
    </transfer>

    <transfer name="ErrorMessage" api="true">
        <property name="message" type="string"/>
    </transfer>
</transfers>

then you can use it in api routes for example like this:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Controller;

use App\Generated\Transfers\UserTransfer;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Attribute\Route;
use OpenApi\Attributes as OA;

class UserApiController extends AbstractController
{
    #[OA\Tag(name: 'user')]
    #[OA\Response(
        response: 200,
        description: 'Returns a user by id',
        content: new OA\JsonContent(
            ref: '#/components/schemas/User',
        )
    )]
    #[OA\Response(
        response: 404,
        description: 'Returns a error',
        content: new OA\JsonContent(
            ref: '#/components/schemas/Error',
        )
    )]
    #[OA\Response(
        response: 500,
        description: 'Returns a error',
        content: new OA\JsonContent(
            ref: '#/components/schemas/Error',
        )
    )]
    #[Route('/api/user/{id}', name: 'get_user_by_id', methods: ['GET'])]
    public function getUserByIdAction(int $id): Response
    {
        $user = $this->userFacade->getUserById($id);
    
        return $this->json($user);
    }
}
