Datetime update

[patgod85]

Hi. I have an entity with DateTime field

    /**
     * @var \DateTime
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="work_start", type="datetime", nullable=true)
     * @Serializer\Expose
     * @Serializer\Type("DateTime")
     */
    private $workStart;

Every other field updates correctly with PUT request. But the field.

I receive data from client in format 2012-02-25T21:00:00.000Z

Can you assist me to find a clue?

Thanks

That's an iso date, so try: * @Serializer\Type("DateTime<'c'>")

Yes, I've tried it. It doesn't help

As I see with morning fresh mind, the problem relates to a name of the field but a type.

1. When an Entity is serialized by GET action a client receives model with property work_start.
2. Client edits the model and sends it to server in format {"name": "Juan", surname: "Lopez", "work_start": "2012-02-25T21:00:00.000Z"}
3. In PUT action there is the line

        $this->removeExtraFields($request, $form);

it calls a code from
https://github.com/voryx/restgeneratorbundle/blob/master/src/Voryx/RESTGeneratorBundle/Controller/VoryxController.php
I do print arrays to see what to be removed

    /**
     * Get rid on any fields that don't appear in the form
     *
     * @param Request $request
     * @param Form $form
     */
    protected function removeExtraFields(Request $request, Form $form)
    {
        $data     = $request->request->all();
        $children = $form->all();
print_r([$data, array_keys($children)]);
        $data     = array_intersect_key($data, $children);
        $request->request->replace($data);
    }

And have that:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => Juan
            [surname] => Lopez
            [work_start] => 2012-10-10T21:00:00.000Z
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => name
            [1] => surname
            [2] => workStart
        )

)

So the new value of workStart property removed because of different naming strategy.

Is there a right way to avoid the problem? I assume it should work with JMS\Serializer\Naming\IdenticalPropertyNamingStrategy, but I prefer default naming strategy.

Sorry,
Is there any advice for me?
