don't force use to specify item route for an entity

[videni]

sometimes a simple entity is not necessary to have an item operation,
sometimes an entity have two item operations ,one for admin ,one for customer. at this situation, it should let the developer to specify which one.

api-platform can handle the general case, but also should add the flexibility.

@dunglas ,are you willing to add API relation to api-platform please? I created issueapi relation a month ago? in my case API relation customization is very urgent.

[dunglas]

You can already enable and disable operations, and create "custom" ones: https://api-platform.com/docs/core/operations/#enabling-and-disabling-operations
Isn't it what you want?

@dunglas , nope, my situation is more complex. for customer, I only want to show api_account_order_view in links relation, but for admin , I want to show api_admin_order_view, both routes are added to Order resource item operation, their paths are different.

@dunglas , now I am trying to disable api-platfom links relation, use "willdurand/hateoas" instead.

[dunglas]

What do you mean by "links relations"? The normalizer decorator is a service, so you can inject the SecurityContext in, retrieve the role of the current user and add the link accordingly.

@dunglas it would be nice if we can add relation like this, so we don't need to write extra normalizer for every entity.

App\AppBundle\View\OrderView:
    relations:
        - rel: self
          href:
            route: api_shop_account_order_view
            parameters:
                code: expr(object.getId())
          exclusion:
            groups: [Details]

now I add api link relation using this bundle LinkRelationBundle

@dunglas , only get operation need item operation, it is best to allow us to specify it like this

App\Bundle\OrderBundle\Entity\Order:
    collectionOperations:
            get:
                path: '/admin/orders'
                access_control: is_granted('app_order_view')
                force_eager: false
                normalization_context:
                    groups: [ "Details"]
                    enable_max_depth: true
                iri: 'api_orders_get_item'
    itemOperations:
            get:
                path: '/admin/orders/{id}'
                access_control: is_granted('app_order_view')
