I'm using the serialize key to output data in json format. Is there a way to output nothing, just an empty response with application/json as content-type? I've tried null, an empty string and an empty array as a serialize value but nothing seems to do the trick.
Reference: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views/json-and-xml-views.html#using-data-views-with-the-serialize-key
You'd have to not use the _serialize method and instead use a custom view. See: http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views/json-and-xml-views.html#using-a-data-view-with-view-files
You can make all your actions use the same view file via $this->render('my_custom_view'); instead of creating a new view file for each.

I'm using JsonConverter for ID properties to convert them back and forth using hashids (when receiving request - from hashed string to int64, when sending response - from int64 to hashed string).
That all works flawlessly but I'm having now a problem with routes that receive Form Data. I tried using ModelBinder for ID properties but then swashbuckle generates that action with ID property outside request body, it defines it as a query parameter. Is there any other way to convert form data properties like JsonConverter is doing doing so for JSON?
Thanks
/edit: more info
I want swagger to generate schema like this where I use ModelBinder for Id property
Current:
Wanted:
Beside swagger schema, I want Id property to have ModelBinder (or if there's any other way) to have it convert it from string to int64 before it calls service to update user.
I have tried only ModelBinder for converting itself, as I'm not aware of anything else capable to do that, and for swagger scheme I tried applying IOperationFilter without success. I'm guessing I would have to alter scheme and remove Id Parameter and add it inside Request body instead?
How can I pass this form data in postman?
I have tried this way and did not work

you should check this post and https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/javascript/formdata-append-javascript-array-jsonstringify-how-to-cast-as-php-array?page=1
i think you should use JSON.parse(FOrmadata.field) in the server to convert the passed formData field to array
I am trying to filter out my list of images by OS reference code. Here is the url I am trying:
https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getBlockDeviceTemplateGroups.json?objectMask=mask[flexImageFlag]&objectFilter={'children': {'blockDevices': {'diskImage': {'softwareReferences': {'softwareDescription': {'referenceCode': {'operation': 'REDHAT_6_64'}}}}}}}
But I am kept getting the following error msg:
{"error":"Unable to parse object filter.","code":"SoftLayer_Exception_Public"}
Can anyone help me see what is wrong? Thanks in advance!
Q.Z.
The filter is wrong, but in my tests the filter is not working with the "referenceCode" property; you need to use another property such as name, version or both. See below the examples:
using name and version property
https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getBlockDeviceTemplateGroups?objectMask=mask[flexImageFlag]&objectFilter={"blockDeviceTemplateGroups": {"children":{"blockDevices":{"diskImage":{"softwareReferences":{"softwareDescription":{"name":{"operation":"CentOS"}, "version":{"operation":"6.3-32"}}}}}}}}
Using only a property (name in this case)
https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getBlockDeviceTemplateGroups?objectMask=mask[flexImageFlag]&objectFilter={"blockDeviceTemplateGroups": {"children":{"blockDevices":{"diskImage":{"softwareReferences":{"softwareDescription":{"name":{"operation":"CentOS"}}}}}}}}

Looks like you are using the REST api. The example in the
API reference, suggests that this parameter should be in JSON format:
https://api.softlayer.com/rest/v3/SoftLayer_Account/getVirtualGuests?objectMask=mask[id,hostname]&objectFilter={"datacenter":{"name":{"operation":"dal05"}}}
Your error says "Unable to parse object filter.", so the error is probably just be that your parameter is invalid JSON: The JSON standard only accepts double quotes.
Try replacing
{'children': {'blockDevices': {'diskImage': {'softwareReferences': {'softwareDescription': {'referenceCode': {'operation': 'REDHAT_6_64'}}}}}}}
with the corresponding valid json:
{"children": {"blockDevices": {"diskImage": {"softwareReferences": {"softwareDescription": {"referenceCode": {"operation": "REDHAT_6_64"}}}}}}}
When I fetch from a dStore the URL looks something like this
http://localhost/rest/dojo?department=sales
which works fine. If I then click in the header of the dGrid the sent URL looks like this.
http://localhost/rest/dojo?department=sales&sort(+id)&limit(25)
Shouldn't it send &sort=+id&limit=25? I am using Java and Spring for the backend and it expects the parameters to be formatted this way. Right now I can not receive the extra parameters. Is there a way to get it to send the parameters the way Spring is expecting them?
sort(...) and limit(...) are the default behaviors of dstore/Request (which Rest extends), but these can be customized via sortParam for sort, and useRangeHeaders or rangeStartParam and rangeCountParam for range.
For example, to result in &sort=+id&limit=25 as you requested, you could set up your store as follows:
var store = new Rest({
target: '...',
sortParam: 'sort',
rangeStartParam: 'offset',
rangeCountParam: 'limit'
});
I've additionally assumed above that offset is the GET parameter you'd want to use to indicate what record to start at when requesting ranges. Generally if you're not using range headers (useRangeHeaders defaults to false) and you want to set a count GET parameter, you'll also need to set a start GET parameter.
These properties are listed in the Request Store documentation.
I have a custom content type with 3 FileFields (plone.app.blob.field.FileField) and I want to get their url's, so i can put them on my custom view and people will be able to download these files.
However, when using Clouseau to test and debug, I call :
context.getFirst_file().absolute_url()
Where getFirst_file() is the accessor to the first file (field called 'first_file').
The url returned is 'http://foo/.../eat.00001', where 'eat.00001' is the object of my custom type that contains the file fields...
The interesting thing is, if I call:
context.getFirst_file().getContentType()
It returns 'application/pdf', which is correct since it's a pdf file.
I'm pretty lost here, any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
File fields do not support a absolute_url method; instead, through acquisition you inherit the method from the object itself, hence the results you see. Moreover, calling getFirst_field() will return the actual downloadable contents of the field, not the field itself which could provide such information.
Instead, you should use the at_download script appended to the object URL, followed by the field id:
First File
You can also re-use the Archetypes widget for the field, by passing the field name to the widget method:
<metal:field use-macro="python:context.widget('first_field', mode='view')">
First File
</metal:field>
This will display the file size, icon (if available), the filename and the file mime type.
In both these examples, I assumed the name of the field is 'first_field'.
