| 1 | +# Customizing the Schema |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Both [`HydraAdmin`](./components.md#hydraadmin) and [`OpenApiAdmin`](./components.md#openapiadmin) leverage introspection of the API's schema to discover its capabilities, like **filtering** and **sorting**. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +They also detect wether the API has real-time capabilities using [Mercure](./real-time-mercure.md), and automatically enable it if it does. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Lastly, API Platform Admin has native support for the popular [Schema.org](#about-schemaorg) vocabulary, which enables it to automatically use the field type matching your data, or display a related resource's name instead of its IRI. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Adding Filtering Capabilities |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +You can add the [`ApiFilter` attribute](../core/filters.md#apifilter-attribute) to an Entity to configure a filter on a property. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +For instance, here is how configure filtering on the `id`, `title` and `author` properties of a `Book` entity: |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +```php |
| 16 | +<?php |
| 17 | +// api/src/Entity/Book.php |
| 18 | +namespace App\Entity; |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +use ApiPlatform\Metadata\ApiFilter; |
| 21 | +use ApiPlatform\Metadata\ApiResource; |
| 22 | +use ApiPlatform\Doctrine\Orm\Filter\SearchFilter; |
| 23 | +use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +#[ApiResource] |
| 26 | +#[ORM\Entity] |
| 27 | +#[ApiFilter(SearchFilter::class, properties: [ |
| 28 | + 'id' => 'exact', |
| 29 | + 'title' => 'ipartial', |
| 30 | + 'author' => 'ipartial' |
| 31 | +])] |
| 32 | +class Book |
| 33 | +{ |
| 34 | + // ... |
| 35 | +} |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +If you are using the guessers, the Admin will automatically update the Book list view to include a filter on the selected properties. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +**Tip:** Learn more about the [`ApiFilter` attribute](../core/filters.md#apifilter-attribute) in the core documentation. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +## Adding Sorting Capabilities |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +You can also use the [`ApiFilter` attribute](../core/filters.md#apifilter-attribute) on an Entity to configure sorting. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +For instance, here is how to configure sorting on the `id`, `isbn`, `title`, `author` and `publicationDate` properties of a `Book` entity: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +```php |
| 51 | +<?php |
| 52 | +// api/src/Entity/Book.php |
| 53 | +namespace App\Entity; |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +use ApiPlatform\Metadata\ApiFilter; |
| 56 | +use ApiPlatform\Metadata\ApiResource; |
| 57 | +use ApiPlatform\Doctrine\Orm\Filter\SearchFilter; |
| 58 | +use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM; |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +#[ApiResource] |
| 61 | +#[ORM\Entity] |
| 62 | +#[ApiFilter(OrderFilter::class, properties: [ |
| 63 | + 'id' => 'ASC', |
| 64 | + 'isbn' => 'ASC', |
| 65 | + 'title' => 'ASC', |
| 66 | + 'author' => 'ASC', |
| 67 | + 'publicationDate' => 'DESC' |
| 68 | +])] |
| 69 | +class Book |
| 70 | +{ |
| 71 | + // ... |
| 72 | +} |
| 73 | +``` |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +If you are using the guessers, the Admin will automatically update the Book list view to make the selected columns sortable. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +**Tip:** Learn more about the [`ApiFilter` attribute](../core/filters.md#apifilter-attribute) in the core documentation. |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +## Enabling Real-Time Updates |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +You can use the `mercure` attribute to hint API Platform that it must dispatch the updates regarding the given resources to the Mercure hub: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +```php |
| 86 | +<?php |
| 87 | +// api/src/ApiResource/Book.php with Symfony or app/ApiResource/Book.php with Laravel |
| 88 | +namespace App\ApiResource; |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +use ApiPlatform\Metadata\ApiResource; |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +#[ApiResource(mercure: true)] |
| 93 | +class Book |
| 94 | +{ |
| 95 | + // ... |
| 96 | +} |
| 97 | +``` |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +Make sure you have [configured your dataProvider to support Mercure](./real-time-mercure.md). |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +**Tip:** Learn more about how to use the Mercure Protocol in the [API Platform Core documentation](../core/mercure.md). |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## About Schema.org |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +API Platform Admin has native support for the popular [Schema.org](https://schema.org) vocabulary. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +> Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet, on web pages, in email messages, and beyond. |
| 108 | +
|
| 109 | +To leverage this capability, your API must use the JSON-LD format and the appropriate Schema.org types. |
| 110 | +The following examples will use [API Platform Core](../core/) to create such API, but keep in mind that this feature will work with any JSON-LD API using the Schema.org vocabulary, regardless of the used web framework or programming language. |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +## Displaying Related Resource's Name Instead of its IRI |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +By default, IRIs of related objects are displayed in lists and forms. |
| 115 | +However, it is often more user-friendly to display a string representation of the resource (such as its name) instead of its ID. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +To configure which property should be shown to represent your entity, map the property containing the name of the object with the `https://schema.org/name` type: |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +```php |
| 120 | +// api/src/Entity/Person.php |
| 121 | +... |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +#[ApiProperty(iris: ["https://schema.org/name"])] |
| 124 | +private $name; |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +... |
| 127 | +``` |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## Emails, URLs and Identifiers |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +Besides, it is also possible to use the documentation to customize some fields automatically while configuring the semantics of your data. |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +The following Schema.org types are currently supported by API Platform Admin: |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +- `https://schema.org/email`: the field will be rendered using the [`<EmailField>`](https://marmelab.com/react-admin/EmailField.html) React Admin component |
| 136 | +- `https://schema.org/url`: the field will be rendered using the [`<UrlField>`](https://marmelab.com/react-admin/UrlField.html) React Admin component |
| 137 | +- `https://schema.org/identifier`: the field will be formatted properly in inputs |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +Note: if you already use validation on your properties, the semantics are already configured correctly (see [the correspondence table](../core/validation.md#open-vocabulary-generated-from-validation-metadata))! |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +**Next step:** Learn how to tweak the generated Admin by [Customizing the Guessers](./customizing.md). |
