Edit file using POST Method with API Platform-CodePudding

In API Platform documentation it says:

Uploading files won't work in PUT or PATCH requests, you must use POST method to upload files.

But when i try to "force" method:

#[ORM\Entity(repositoryClass: CompanyRepository::class)]
#[ApiResource(
    itemOperations: [
        "put" => ['method' => 'POST']
    ],
    denormalizationContext: ['groups' => ['write']],
    normalizationContext: ['groups' => ['read']]
)]
/**
 * @Vich\Uploadable
 */
class Company implements ImageInterface

I got

There is no builtin action for the item POST operation. You need to define the controller yourself

Any idea how to transform PUT to POST?

CodePudding user response：

POST operation are Collection operations, not item operations.

As per: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform/issues/1663

CodePudding user response：

One solution is (after following documentation https://api-platform.com/docs/core/file-upload/#uploading-to-an-existing-resource-with-its-fields) to create a custom operation with POST method, and an empty controller: entity/company.php

#[ApiResource(
    itemOperations: [
        "get" => ApiConstInterface::UNSECURE,
        'edit_file' => ApiConstInterface::SECURE_ADMIN_AND_OWNER
              [
                'method' => 'POST',
                'controller' => EditCompany::class,
                'input_formats' => [
                    'multipart' => ['multipart/form-data'],
                ],
            ],
        "delete" => ApiConstInterface::SECURE_ADMIN_AND_OWNER,
    ],
    denormalizationContext: ['groups' => ['write']],
    normalizationContext: ['groups' => ['read']]
)]
/**
 * @Vich\Uploadable
 */
class Company implements ImageInterface

controller/EditCompany.php

#[AsController]
final class EditCompany extends AbstractController
{
    public function __invoke(Company $data): Company
    {
        return $data;
    }
}
