for transformations of response after it is returned from endpoint.

They could e.g. add some useful data, transform them or handle request globally (e.g. for authorization).

# Setup

Decorator plugin overrides JsonDispatcher with DecoratedDispatcher

# Register decorators

Each decorator could have tag apitte.core.decorator with priority defined.

  • Decorator with lowest priority number is called first.
  • Default priority is 10

# Request decorators

Add some data to request or return response through EarlyReturnResponseException.

# RequestParameterDecorator and RequestEntityDecorator

Enable mapping of request parameters and entities.

Registered with priorities 100 and 101.

See mapping chapter for more info.

Tip

You could also authenticate only some endpoints thanks to tags and metadata from SimpleRouter.

use Apitte\Core\Http\RequestAttributes;
use Apitte\Core\Schema\Endpoint;

/** @var Endpoint $endpoint Schema of matched endpoint */
$endpoint = $request->getAttribute(RequestAttributes::ATTR_ENDPOINT);

if ($endpoint->hasTag('noAuthentication')) {
    // Don't authenticate
}

# Response decorators

Modify response returned from endpoint.

You could return response through EarlyReturnResponseException so other response decorators are not used.

# ResponseEntityDecorator

Transforms data into format requested in Accept header and in url suffix (/api/v1/users.xml)

See negotiation chapter for details.

# Implementing response decorator

namespace App\Api\Decorator;

use Apitte\Core\Decorator\IResponseDecorator;
use Apitte\Core\Exception\Runtime\EarlyReturnResponseException;
use Apitte\Core\Http\ApiRequest;
use Apitte\Core\Http\ApiResponse;

class ExampleResponseDecorator implements IResponseDecorator
{

    /**
     * @throws EarlyReturnResponseException If other response decorators should be skipped
     */
    public function decorateResponse(ApiRequest $request, ApiResponse $response): ApiResponse
    {
        // Do something with response (e.g. transform data)
        return $response;
    }

# Exception decorators

Transforms error into response.

If an exception decorator return null instead of response then error is handled by internal error handler

# ResponseEntityDecorator

Transforms error into format requested in Accept header and in url suffix (/api/v1/users.xml)

See negotiation chapter for details.

# Implementing exception decorator

namespace App\Api\Decorator;

use Apitte\Core\Decorator\IErrorDecorator;
use Apitte\Core\Http\ApiRequest;
use Apitte\Core\Http\ApiResponse;
use Throwable;

class ExampleExceptionDecorator implements IErrorDecorator
{

    public function decorateError(ApiRequest $request, ApiResponse $response, Throwable $error): ApiResponse
    {
        $response = $this->errorToResponse($response, $error);
        return $response;
