How to use the serializer with api platform?

[thorau]

I have an Enity with property "offers": @ORM\Column(type="json_document", options={"jsonb": true}) Offers is a POPO with an id property that is of type rmsey uuid.

When API-Platform tries to persist the entity, is seems that the uuid cannot be serialized. What would be the right definition in services.yaml to make the serialization work?

I tried something like this, but it is not working:

dunglas_doctrine_json_odm.serializer: class: 'Dunglas\DoctrineJsonOdm\Serializer' arguments: - ['@api_platform.serializer.normalizer.item', '@dunglas_doctrine_json_odm.normalizer.array', '@dunglas_doctrine_json_odm.normalizer.object'] - ['@serializer.encoder.json'] public: true autowire: false

I know this is an old question, but just in case anyone comes looking for the same thing my way of making this work with ApiPlatform was by using a prePersist event listener. My actual code looks like this:

class DocumentListener
{

    private SerializerInterface $serializer;
    private ValidatorInterface $validator;

    /**
     * DocumentListener constructor.
     * @param SerializerInterface $serializer
     * @param ValidatorInterface $validator
     */
    public function __construct(SerializerInterface $serializer, ValidatorInterface $validator)
    {
        $this->serializer = $serializer;
        $this->validator = $validator;
    }

    /**
     * @param Document $document
     * @throws \Exception
     */
    public function prePersist(Document $document): void
    {
        if (!$document->getType()) {
            throw new Exception('A document type must be provided.');
        }
        if (!class_exists($document->getType()->getClass())) {
            throw new \Exception("Document type '{$document->getType()->getName()}' not supported.");
        }
        $documentContent = $this->serializer->deserialize(json_encode($document->getContent()), $document->getType()->getClass(), 'json');
        $errors = $this->validator->validate($documentContent);
        if ($errors->count() > 0) {
            throw new ValidationException($errors);
        }
        $document->setContent($documentContent);
    }
}
