Apigility Doctrine Bulk Module

This module provides an extendable and fast way of adding bulk actions to the doctrine apigility module. It is based on the bulk API of elasticsearch.

Installation

curl -s https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
php composer.phar install

Module Installation

Add to composer.json

"phpro/zf-apigility-doctrine-bulk": "dev-master"

Add module to application.config.php

return array(
    'modules' => array(
        'Phpro\Apigility\Doctrine\Bulk',
        // other libs...
    ),
    // Other config
);

Add your custom bulk endpoints to the configuration

return [
    // A normal RPC route:
    'router' => [
        'routes' => [
            'api.rpc.bulk' => [
                'type' => 'Segment',

Create a RPC Controller class

namespace Api\V1\Rpc\Bulk;
use Phpro\Apigility\Doctrine\Bulk\Controller\BulkController as BaseController;

class BulkController extends BaseController
{

}

Run a bulk call

POST /api/bulk

Request body:

[
    {'create': {'name': 'VeeWee'}},
    {'update': {'id': 1, 'name': 'Updated'}},
    {'delete': {'id': 2}},
    {'changeEmail': {'id': 1, 'email': 'new@email.com'}},
]

Response body:

[
    {'command': 'create', 'id': 100, 'params': [], 'isSuccess': true, 'isError': false, 'error': ''},
    {'command': 'update', 'id': 1, 'params': [], 'isSuccess': true, 'isError': false, 'error': ''},
    {'command': 'delete', 'id': 2, 'params': [], 'isSuccess': true, 'isError': false, 'error': ''},
    {'command': 'changeEmail', 'id': 1, 'params': {'old-email': 'old@email.com'}, 'isSuccess': true, 'isError': false, 'error': ''},
]

Custom Commands

It is very easy to add a custom action like changeEmail to the bulk service. This method will call the changeEmail($email) method on the entity with ID 1 and save the entity to the database. When the result of this method is an array, then these results are added as key-value pairs to the response.

Custom listeners

It is possible to add your own custom listeners for specific tasks. You should create a class that implements ListenerAggregateInterface. This listener should listen to a BulkEvent with a specified command name. When you add this listener to the service manager, it is posible to add the key to the listeners property of the doctrine-bulk-handlers part in the configuration.
