Add extra fields using JMS Serializer bundle

Question

I\'ve an entity I usually serialize using the JMS Serializer bundle. I have to add to the serialization some fields that doesn\'t reside in the entity itself but are gathere

Answer 1

addData is deprecated so since 2.0.0, so we need to do it like this:

use JMS\Serializer\EventDispatcher\ObjectEvent;

class MySerializerHandler {

    public function onPostSerialize(ObjectEvent $event)
    {
        /** @var MySpecialObjectType $object */
        $myObject = $event->getObject();

        $key = 'customDataKey';
        $value = 'myvalue';

        $event->getVisitor()->visitProperty(
            new StaticPropertyMetadata('', $key, $value),
            $value
        );
    }
}

services.yaml

services:
    MySerializerHandler:
        tags:
          - { name: jms_serializer.event_listener, class: 'MySpecialObjectType', event: serializer.post_serialize, method: 'onPostSerialize' }
