Methods
enforceI18nShape()
Pre-validate the i18n-typed fields and short-circuit with a 422 if any field has an invalid shape.
public
enforceI18nShape(ServerRequestInterface|null $request, ResponseInterface|null $response[, string|null $method = null ][, array<string|int, mixed> $init = [] ]) : ResponseInterface|null
Convenience wrapper around validateI18nShape() that builds the
canonical "Unprocessable Entity" response when validation fails.
Callers should return the response directly when this method returns
a non-null value.
Parameters
- $request : ServerRequestInterface|null
-
The current HTTP request.
- $response : ResponseInterface|null
-
The current HTTP response.
- $method : string|null = null
-
The HTTP method (POST, PATCH, PUT).
- $init : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
Optional override of the payload definitions.
Tags
Return values
ResponseInterface|null —Null when the body is well-formed, otherwise the 422 response to return.
generatePayload()
Prepares a key-value payload object based on the provided request and definitions.
public
generatePayload(ServerRequestInterface $request[, array<string|int, mixed>|null $definitions = null ][, array<string|int, mixed> $args = [] ][, array<string|int, mixed> &$relations = [] ][, bool $throwable = false ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
This method processes the given definitions and extracts values from the request based on the type specified in the definitions.
If a type is not specified but a value is provided in the definitions, that value is directly assigned to the document.
Parameters
- $request : ServerRequestInterface
-
The request object that contains the input data.
- $definitions : array<string|int, mixed>|null = null
-
An array of definitions that specify the types and names of expected parameters or their predefined values. Each definition may include a type (e.g., BOOL, FLOAT, I18N, INT, etc.), a name, or a predefined value.
- $args : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
The optional arguments to initialize the document key/value.
- $relations : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
The array reference to register all payload attributes with a relation behavior (edges).
- $throwable : bool = false
-
Indicates if the method throws errors.
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —An associative array containing the processed key-value pairs extracted or derived from the request and definitions.
initializePayload()
Initialize the 'payload' definition used to prepare a document for insertion or replace/update.
public
initializePayload([array<string|int, mixed> $init = [] ]) : static
This method sets the $payload property based on the provided associative array.
If the array contains the key Arango::PAYLOADS, its value will replace the current payload.
Otherwise, the existing payload is kept.
Example:
$controller->initializePayloads
([
Arango::PAYLOADS =>
[
HttpMethod::ALL =>
[
Prop::NAME => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ],
Prop::ADDRESS =>
[
Arango::TYPE => AQLType::OBJECT ,
Arango::COMPRESS => true ,
Arango::PAYLOAD =>
[
Prop::STREET_ADDRESS => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ] ,
Prop::EXTENDED_ADDRESS => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ] ,
Prop::ADDRESS_LOCALITY => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ] ,
Prop::ADDRESS_COUNTRY => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ] ,
Prop::ADDRESS_DEPARTMENT => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ] ,
Prop::ADDRESS_REGION => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ] ,
Prop::POST_OFFICE_BOX_NUMBER => [ Arango::TYPE => AQLType::STRING ] ,
]
]
// ... other field definitions
],
HttpMethod::POST =>
[
Prop::ACTIVE => [ Arango::VALUE => 1 ],
// ... other field definitions
],
],
]);
Parameters
- $init : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
Associative array containing the schema definition.
Return values
static —Returns the current instance for method chaining.
preparePayload()
Prepare the 'payload' to insert or modify in the POST, PATCH or PUT methods.
public
preparePayload(ServerRequestInterface|null $request[, string|null $method = null ][, array<string|int, mixed> $init = [] ][, array<string|int, mixed> &$relations = [] ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
This method builds a document array based on the request body and the payload definitions corresponding to the current HTTP method.
It can optionally "compress" the document structure depending on the compress configuration.
Parameters
- $request : ServerRequestInterface|null
-
The current HTTP request instance (may be null).
- $method : string|null = null
-
The current HTTP method (e.g. HttpMethod::POST, HttpMethod::PATCH, HttpMethod::PUT).
- $init : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
Initialization options to customize behavior:
- compress (array|bool) Compress behavior definition (default:
false).- If
true, the document is always compressed. - If an array, only compress when the current method is included (e.g.
[HttpMethod::POST, HttpMethod::PATCH]).
- If
- payload (array) Definition to override the default payload settings.
- compress (array|bool) Compress behavior definition (default:
- $relations : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
The array reference to register all payload attributes with a relation behavior (edges).
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —The prepared document ready for insertion or modification.
propertyPayload()
Returns an associative array with a key/value definition based on the property name and the payload request object.
public
propertyPayload(ServerRequestInterface $request, mixed $property[, array<string|int, mixed> &$relations = [] ]) : mixed
Parameters
- $request : ServerRequestInterface
- $property : mixed
- $relations : array<string|int, mixed> = []
validateI18nShape()
Pre-validate the shape of i18n-typed fields in the request body.
public
validateI18nShape(ServerRequestInterface|null $request[, string|null $method = null ][, array<string|int, mixed> $init = [] ]) : array<string, string>
Inspects the payload definitions for fields typed as AQLType::I18N and checks the raw request body. If any such field is present with a non-array/object/null value (e.g. a flat string), an entry is returned for it. Callers should respond with a 422 when the result is non-empty, before invoking preparePayload() (which would otherwise drop the invalid value silently via filterLanguages()).
Parameters
- $request : ServerRequestInterface|null
-
The current HTTP request.
- $method : string|null = null
-
The HTTP method (POST, PATCH, PUT).
- $init : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
Optional override of the payload definitions (same shape as preparePayload's
$init).
Tags
Return values
array<string, string> —Map of field name → error message. Empty when the body is well-formed.

private
extractSubPayloadValue(ServerRequestInterface $request, string $parentKey, array<string|int, mixed> $options, array<string|int, mixed> $args, array<string|int, mixed> &$relations, bool $throwable) : array<string|int, mixed>|null
This method automatically prefixes nested field names with their parent key if no explicit Arango::NAME is provided.
The prefixing is done "just-in-time" only for direct children, not recursively. Nested PAYLOAD types will handle their own prefixing when they are processed.
Example:
- Parent key: 'address'
- Child key: 'postalCode'
- Generated name: 'address.postalCode'
Parameters
- $request : ServerRequestInterface
- $parentKey : string
-
The parent key to use as prefix for nested fields
- $options : array<string|int, mixed>
- $args : array<string|int, mixed>
- $relations : array<string|int, mixed>
- $throwable : bool
Tags
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>|nullisSimplePayload()
Determine if the payload definition is a simple value (not a complex document structure).
private
isSimplePayload(mixed $definition) : bool
Parameters
- $definition : mixed
Return values
boolprefixPayloadDirectChildren()
Prefix only the direct children field names with parent key.
private
prefixPayloadDirectChildren(array<string|int, mixed> $definitions, string $prefix[, string $separator = '.' ]) : array<string|int, mixed>
Does NOT recursively process nested PAYLOAD types - they will be handled by their own extractSubPayloadValue call during generatePayload execution.
Automatically generates hierarchical names like 'address.postalCode' for fields that don't already have an explicit Arango::NAME.
Parameters
- $definitions : array<string|int, mixed>
-
The nested payload definitions
- $prefix : string
-
The parent key to use as prefix
- $separator : string = '.'
-
The separator between parent and child keys (default: '.')
Return values
array<string|int, mixed> —The definitions with auto-generated names for direct children only
