The REST api generator expects the entity object has a primary key field named "id" with a getId() method.

Original link was showing https://github.com/vpassapera/TdnForgeBundle as an example on how identifiers could be supported with any name, but ended up writing a different bundle altogether.

what is the solution? the above link does not work.

[davidwdan]

At the moment the bundle does not handle primary key fields that are not named 'id'.

The link you want to look at is: https://github.com/TheDevNetwork/TdnPilotBundle

I'm not sure if you planned to update more, but if you do, can you also add https://github.com/nelmio/NelmioApiDocBundle on the methods which are generated automatically. this would be basic stuff.

and plus support for custom primary key (maybe by when generating entity.. (it only changes small thing..)

[davidwdan]

I did not include the DocBundle in this project, because it's an unnecessary dependency and it's very easy to add manually.

Using custom primary keys is still on the list of future changes. Pull requests are welcome.

Hello guys, i had this problem on an entity containing id field with an getId function, but that is on a single inheritance structure, and therefore, this method is on a parent class

[vpassapera]

Sorry, didn't see that people were commenting on this. I fixed this by using doctrine's metadata class to get the identifier.

I will update the top link as well:

https://github.com/vpassapera/TdnForgeBundle (The pilotbundle was what it was originally, but it was for a project for UCSF). TdnForgeBundle was the bundle that came out of that, but it didn't pick up and a better one was presented at Symfony SF 2014. If people have an interest in the bundle I can pick up development again.

The specific line that does it is this:
https://github.com/vpassapera/TdnForgeBundle/blob/develop/Generator/Traits/DoctrineMetadata.php#L70

But as you can see, it uses ClassMetadata from doctrine. (Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\ClassMetadata)

In this bundle, they are already using the metadata, the only reason it's not supported is because:

https://github.com/voryx/restgeneratorbundle/blob/master/src/Voryx/RESTGeneratorBundle/Generator/DoctrineRESTGenerator.php#L66

Which seems silly not to pass it to where it is needed, but either way, hope this helps.
