API Platform - JSON Filter

README.md

JSON Filter for API Plaform

File	API Platform version
JsonFilter.php	v2.6.5
JsonFilter.deprecated.php	v2.5.7

Allow to filter on DB JSON Columns with API Platform

Usage

<?php
...

/**
 *
 * @ApiFilter(JsonFilter::class, properties={
 *     "attributes.countryCode"={ "type": "string", "strategy": "exact" },
 *     "attributes.title"={ "type": "string", "strategy": "partial" },
 *     "attributes.isActive"={ "type": "bool" },
 *     "attributes.book.pages"={ "type": "int" }
 * })
 */
 
 ...
 

In our example

• "attributes" is the DB column name
• "countryCode" match with the JSON DB key : 'country_code' (in the column 'attributes')
• "title" match with the JSON DB key : 'title' (in the column 'attributes')
• "isActive" match with the JSON DB key : 'is_active' (in the column 'attributes')
• "book.pages" match with the JSON DB key : 'book.pages' (in the column 'attributes')

Declaration

In service.yaml file, you need to add this :

Hello, It’s difficult to answer without more materials / information (do you have an example of the implementation to provide ?) Are you using the last api platform version ? If yes, do you use the non deprecated version of the lib ? Best, — On 13 October 2021 at 17:11:18, MrLexisDev ***@***.***) wrote: ***@***.**** commented on this gist. ------------------------------ Hello, I used your library. I'm using mariaDB 10.4.11 and I had to implement json functions that you use. (https://github.com/ScientaNL/DoctrineJsonFunctions). But it doesn't return anything. Do you think it's a problem between mariaDB and functions that works in MySQL? — You are receiving this because you authored the thread.

Hello Thomas,

Finally we can forget my previous comment. I checked in your code and I noticed you forced the snake_case :) I modified it and now it works ;)
