I'm getting responses from a remote API that i decode using Serializer component.
The problem is with a collection: if it contains only one element it isn't added a numeric key.
I explain better.
Example response with more than one element:
<order_rows nodeType="order_row" virtualEntity="true">
<order_row>
<id>
<![CDATA[25]]>
</id>
<product_id>
<![CDATA[4]]>
</product_id>
<product_attribute_id>
<![CDATA[16]]>
</product_attribute_id>
<product_quantity>
<![CDATA[3]]>
</product_quantity>
<product_name>

</order_row>
<order_row>

<product_upc></product_upc>
<product_price>
<![CDATA[18.448274]]>
</product_price>
<unit_price_tax_incl>
<![CDATA[20.256205]]>
</unit_price_tax_incl>
<unit_price_tax_excl>
<![CDATA[16.603447]]>
</unit_price_tax_excl>
</order_row>
</order_rows>This is transformed into an array like this:
"order_rows" => array:3 [▼
"@nodeType" => "order_row"
"@virtualEntity" => "true"
"order_row" => array:4 [▼
0 => array:11 [▼
"id" => "25"
"product_id" => "4"
"product_attribute_id" => "16"
"product_quantity" => "3"
"product_name" => "Abito stampato - Size : S, Color : Beige"
"product_reference" => "demo_4"
"product_ean13" => ""
"product_upc" => ""
"product_price" => "56.980867"
"unit_price_tax_incl" => "62.564991"
"unit_price_tax_excl" => "51.282780"
]
1 => array:11 [▶]
2 => array:11 [▶]
3 => array:11 [▶]
]
]But if the collection contains only one element like in this response:
<order_rows nodeType="order_row" virtualEntity="true">
<order_row>
<id>
<![CDATA[16]]>
</id>
<product_id>
<![CDATA[1]]>
</product_id>
<product_attribute_id>
<![CDATA[1]]>
</product_attribute_id>
<product_quantity>
<![CDATA[1]]>
</product_quantity>
<product_name>
<![CDATA[T-shirt scolorite a manica corta - Size : S, Color : Arancione]]>
</product_name>
<product_reference>
<![CDATA[demo_1]]>
</product_reference>
<product_ean13></product_ean13>
<product_upc></product_upc>
<product_price>
<![CDATA[18.448274]]>
</product_price>
<unit_price_tax_incl>
<![CDATA[22.506894]]>
</unit_price_tax_incl>
<unit_price_tax_excl>
<![CDATA[18.448274]]>
</unit_price_tax_excl>
</order_row>
</order_rows>The resulting array is this:
"order_rows" => array:3 [▼
"@nodeType" => "order_row"
"@virtualEntity" => "true"
"order_row" => array:11 [▼
"id" => "16"
"product_id" => "1"
"product_attribute_id" => "1"
"product_quantity" => "1"
"product_name" => "T-shirt scolorite a manica corta - Size : S, Color : Arancione"
"product_reference" => "demo_1"
"product_ean13" => ""
"product_upc" => ""
"product_price" => "18.448274"
"unit_price_tax_incl" => "22.506894"
"unit_price_tax_excl" => "18.448274"
]
]So, if I have more than one order_row I can do something like this:
foreach ($response['order_rows']['order_row'] as $row) {
// Here $row will contain keys like id, product_id, ecc.
}But if I have only one order_row, then the previous foreach breaks as I don't get an array with only 1 order_row but I get directly the id, the product_id, ecc.
Is something that I'm doing wrong, or there is a problem with the Serializer?
EDIT
I'm not doing something wrong: this is an intended (wrong) behavior.
The same problem happens in other serializers: see #21616
