I wanted to validate my User Object ($user) with the Symfony Validator and return a JsonResponse ($response) if the form input data is valid / is not valid. But I have the issue that I get logged out automatically when the data could not be validated. I have to login again and this is not the behaviour I expect when some data ist not valid. I found a workaround (see comments below) but this is not very satisfying :/
Here is the method of my Controller:
/**
* Update user profile data
*
* @Route("/api/users/updateprofile")
* @Security("is_granted('USERS_LIST')")
*/
public function apiProfileUpdate(ValidatorInterface $validator, FlashMessageBuilder $flashMessageBuilder)
{
$request = Request::createFromGlobals();
// Prepare Response
$response = new JsonResponse();
$response->setData([]);
/** @var User $user */
$user = $this->getUser();
$oldName = $user->getName();
$oldEmail = $user->getEmail();
$user->setName($request->request->get('name'));
$user->setEmail($request->request->get('email'));
$errors = $validator->validate($user);
if (count($errors) > 0) { // if this -> auto logout
$user->setName($oldName); // if I set the both attributes back to the old value
$user->setEmail($oldEmail); // then I don't get logged out automatically but this is just a workaround and not satisfying
$entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager(); // forgot to remove this
$entityManager->persist($user); // and this line, this is actually deleted in the real code
foreach ($errors as $error) {
$errorMessage = $error->getMessage();
$errorField = $error->getPropertyPath();
$flashMessageBuilder->addErrorMessage($errorMessage, $errorField);
};
return $response;
}
$entityManager = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$entityManager->persist($user);
$entityManager->flush();
$flashMessageBuilder->addSuccessMessage("Success!");
return $response;
}
Sorry for my bad english and thank you in advance!
