JMS Serializer ignores mappings for Knp Paginator

Question

I have problem with exclusion of some KNP Paginator properties with JMS Serializer.

First, this is included in composer.json

...
\"jms/serializer-bundle\         


        

Answer 1

The properties that you want to map are owned by Knp\Component\Pager\Pagination\AbstractPagination.

You also want to hide the rest of properties, so you will have to configure both classes.

I've just tried the following and it's working for me.

app/config/config.yml

jms_serializer:
metadata:
    directories:
        KnpPaginatorBundle:
            namespace_prefix: Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle
            path: %kernel.root_dir%/config/serializer/KnpPaginatorBundle
        KnpPager:
            namespace_prefix: Knp\Component\Pager
            path: %kernel.root_dir%/config/serializer/KnpPager

app/config/serializer/KnpPager/Pagination.AbstractPagination.yml

Knp\Component\Pager\Pagination\AbstractPagination:
exclusion_policy: ALL
properties:
    items:
        expose: true
        access_type: public_method
        accessor:
            getter: getItems
        type: array
        serialized_name:
            payload
    currentPageNumber:
        expose: true
        serialized_name:
            page
    numItemsPerPage:
        expose: true
        serialized_name:
            items
    totalCount:
        expose: true
        serialized_name:
            totalItems

app/config/serializer/KnpPaginatorBundle/Pagination.SlidingPagination.yml

Knp\Bundle\PaginatorBundle\Pagination\SlidingPagination:
exclusion_policy: ALL

Don't forget to clear the cache before testing.

Hope this helps you.

Instead of serializing all the pagination object, try to serialize only the data and items, like this:

$result = array(
  'data' => $pagination->getItems(),
  'meta' => $pagination->getPaginationData());

return new Response(
    $serializer->serialize(
        $result,
        'json',
        SerializationContext::create()->setGroups(['Default'])
    ),
    Response::HTTP_OK,
    ['Content-Type' => 'application/json',]
);
