I've been experimenting with using Symfony2 for a simple rest API. The
rest API is available in multiple formats (xml, json). Which format is
delivered is controlled by the _format parameter. Most API calls return
simple arrays (encoded in json or xml) so thus far I've skipped
Symfony2's view layer, outputting the response directly from the
controller using createResponse.
Today I needed to include a snippet of HTML within the XML or JSON
output. I wrote this HTML snippet in a PHP template and want to include
it via Symfony2 views. I can't figure out how to override the format
parameter so I can grab my html view, then encode it as appropriate in
the controller.
To be clear, my end response will still be in XML or JSON. I'd like to
do something like this:
// Controller:
$ary = array(
'id' => $content->getId(),
'data' => $this->renderView('ApiBundle:Api:dataview', array('content'
=> $content)
);
return $this->renderResponse($ary);
In the above code, "renderResponse" is my own method that converts to
JSON or XML based on the format. But because format is set, renderView
wants a template called dataview.xml.php or dataview.json.php.
Remember, I actually want to load an HTML template here. It'd be nice
if I could say:
$this->renderView('ApiBundle:Api:dataview', array('content'=>$content),
'html'); // Override format
Any thoughts?
