symfony 4序列化程序：反序列化请求并将其与客户端未完全传递的实体(包括关系)合并

假设我有一个名为user的实体：

class User implements UserInterface
    /**
     * @ORMId()
     * @ORMGeneratedValue()
     * @ORMColumn(type="integer")
     */
     private $id;

    /**
     * @ORMColumn(type="string", length=255, nullable=false)
     */
     private $username;

     /**
     * @ORMOneToOne(targetEntity="AppEntityAddress", cascade={"persist", "remove"})
     * @ORMJoinColumn(nullable=false)
     */
    private $address;

地址字段与地址实体是一对一关系：

class Address
{
    /**
     * @ORMId()
     * @ORMGeneratedValue()
     * @ORMColumn(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORMColumn(type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $street;

    /**
     * @ORMColumn(type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $name;

我有一个用于更新用户及其地址的控制器：

...
 public function putUserSelf(Request $request)
    {
        $em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
        $user = $this->getUser();

        $encoders = array(new JsonEncoder());
        $normalizers = array(new ObjectNormalizer(null, null, null, new ReflectionExtractor()));

        $serializer = new Serializer($normalizers, $encoders);
        $user = $serializer->deserialize($request->getContent(), User::class, "json", ['deep_object_to_populate' => $user]);
        $em->persist($user);
        $em->flush();

理论上，我现在应该可以像这样传递json：

{
    "username": "foo",
    "address": {"name": "bar"}
}

更新我的实体。但问题是，我收到一个SQL错误：

An exception occurred while executing 'INSERT INTO address (street, name) VALUES (?, ?)' with params [null, "bar"]:

SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1048 Column 'street' cannot be null

实体合并似乎不起作用。

解决方案

根据docs，

当AbstractObjectNormalizer::DEEP_OBJECT_TO_POPULATE选项设置为true时，根OBJECT_TO_POPULATE的现有子项将从规范化数据中更新，而不是由去规格化程序重新创建它们。[.] (强调我的)

所以您必须设置一个额外的选项，因此您的行应该是：

    $user = $serializer->deserialize($request->getContent(), User::class, "json", [
        'object_to_populate' => $user, // this still needs to be set, without the "deep_"
        'deep_object_to_populate' => true,
    ]);

特定组件的源代码中有一些附加注释：

/**
 * Flag to tell the denormalizer to also populate existing objects on
 * attributes of the main object.
 *
 * Setting this to true is only useful if you also specify the root object
 * in OBJECT_TO_POPULATE.
 */
public const DEEP_OBJECT_TO_POPULATE = 'deep_object_to_populate';
