NormalizerTask

Normalizes the input (usually an object) using the Symfony Serializer NormalizerInterface.

Requires the Symfony serializer (framework.serializer): without it, the task fails with an explicit message.

Task reference

• Service: CleverAge\ProcessBundle\Task\Serialization\NormalizerTask
• Code: normalizer (task: normalizer)

Accepted inputs

mixed: any value supported by the normalizers for the given format. If no normalizer supports it, an UnexpectedValueException is thrown.

Possible outputs

array|string|int|float|bool|\ArrayObject|null: result of NormalizerInterface::normalize() (usually an array).

Options

Code	Type	Required	Default	Description
format	string	X		Format passed to the normalizer (json, xml, ...)
context	array		[]	Normalization context, passed as 3rd argument of normalize()

Examples

• Normalize entities read from Doctrine into arrays, restricted to a serialization group
