Annotations

@RequestMapping Annotations for stricter HTTP verbs

You can annotate your methods with a stricter version of Symfony’s @Route.

class BlogController
{
    /**
     * @GetMapping("/blog")
     */
    public function list(): Response
    {
        // Your logic here
    }

    /**
     * @PostMapping("/blog")
     */
    public function create(): Response
    {
        // Your logic here
    }
}

There’s support for the following Mappings

Annotation	Description
@GetMapping	HTTP GET Verb
@PostMapping	HTTP POST Verb
@PutMapping	HTTP PUT Verb
@PatchMapping	HTTP PATCH Verb
@DeleteMapping	HTTP DELETE Verb

@RequestBody

The RequestBody annotation converts the Request Body to any object. It is limited to json body’s only. The object can be injected as a controller method argument.

class BlogController
{
    /**
     * @PostMapping("/blog")
     * @RequestBody("model")
     */
    public function foo(CreateBlogModel $model): Response
    {
        // Your logic here
    }
}

You have to manually validate the model if you have any validation constraints on it.

@ResponseBody

The ResponseBody annotation lets you use any return value in a controller, as long as it can be serialized. It is limited to a json response only.

class FooController
{
    /**
     * @ResponseBody()
     */
    public function bool(): Response
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * @ResponseBody()
     */
    public function array(): Response
    {
        return ['foo', 'bar'];
    }

    /**
     * @ResponseBody()
     */
    public function objects(): Response
    {
        return new Foo();
    }
}
