Api Platform pagination custom page_parameter_name - react-admin

Question

I have very specific question on which I cannot find any answer and/or solution provided for Api Platform.
By default, the documentation states, that if you want to pass a page parameter for paging action, you must do the following:
pagination:
page_parameter_name: _page
However, due to the nature of our frontend we're not able to pass this variable to the request. It is hardcoded to the frontend request and is something like page[number]=1.
Is it possible to configure page_parameter_name to receive this variable or we need to transform it somehow in the Api itself?
Thank you!

Answer 1

ApiPlatform\Core\EventListener\ReadListener::onKernelRequest gets $context['filters'] from the request through ApiPlatform\Core\Util\RequestParser::parseRequestParams which ultimately uses PHP's parse_str function so the value of 'page[number]' will be in $context$context['filters']['page']['number'].
ApiPlatform\Core\DataProvider\Pagination::getPage retrieves the page number from $context['filters'][$parameterName] so whatever the value of [$parameterName] it will at best retrieve the array ['number'=> 1].
Then ::getPage casts that to int, which happens to be 1. But will (at least with PHP7) be 1 for any value under 'number'.
Conclusion: You need to transform it somehow in the Api itself. For example by decoration of the ApiPlatform\Core\DataProvider\Pagination service (api_platform.pagination).

Answer 2

API_URL?page[number]=2
print_r($request->attributes->get('_api_pagination'));
Array(
[number] => 2
)
The value of the "page_parameter_name" parameter should be "number" .
api_platform.yaml
collection:
pagination:
page_parameter_name: number
This may not work in version 3
vendor/api-platform/core/src/JsonApi/EventListener/TransformPaginationParametersListener.php
public function onKernelRequest(RequestEvent $event): void
{
$request = $event->getRequest();
$pageParameter = $request->query->all()['page'] ?? null;
...
/* #TODO remove the `_api_pagination` attribute in 3.0 */
$request->attributes->set('_api_pagination', $pageParameter);
}
