FOSRestBundle doesn't work in Symfony 4.1

Question

I have problem with returning views with FOSRestBundle working under Symfony 4.1 Project.

This is code from my controller:

class NewsController extends          


        

Answer 1

Do you send the Accept: application/json in your request?

If not, you do not necessarily need twig, but you need to remove html from the format configuration in the bundle config:

fos_rest:
    format_listener:
        rules:
            - { path: ^/, prefer_extension: true, fallback_format: json, priorities: [ json ] }

The default is to have html in the priorities, and that requires twig.
