• Make generic repository BaseRepository

  • Read this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53747651/how-to-make-a-generic-repository-in-symfony-4
    • 1 - First way: make BaseRepository an abstract class
    • 2 - Second way: Inside services.yaml: prevent symfony from reading the file as a service!

        # makes classes in src/ available to be used as services
        # this creates a service per class whose id is the fully-qualified class name
        App\:
            resource: '../src/*'
            exclude: '../src/{DependencyInjection,Entity,Migrations,Tests,Kernel.php,Repository/BaseRepository.php}'
    

• Install the serializer-pack:

  composer require symfony/serializer-pack

  • Use normalizer to transform objects to arrays

    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG7GgcnR1F4

  • Check different ways of transforming object to readable json inside TestController

    • return $this->json($randomProducts, 200, [], ['groups' => 'products:read']);
    • NormalizerInterface $normalizer
    • SerializerInterface $serializer
