Storefront Routes

Storefront API has an API resource, named as routes, that returns the information about the storefront URLs. This information includes a resource type and the relative URL of an API resource that be used to get the data.

To provide this information, the two types of resolvers are used:

• the resource type resolver, that is represented by ResourceTypeResolverInterface;

• the API URL resolver, that is represented by ResourceApiUrlResolverInterface.

The resource type resolvers should be registered in service container with a tag oro_frontend.api.resource_type_resolver, and optionally the routeName tag attribute can be used to specify the route for which the resolver is applicable.

The API URL resolvers should be registered in service container with a tag oro_frontend.api.resource_api_url_resolver, and optionally the routeName tag attribute can be used to specify the route for which the resolver is applicable.

An example of resolvers registration in services_api.yml file:

services:
    oro_cms.api.resource_type_resolver.landing_page:
        class: Oro\Bundle\FrontendBundle\Api\ResourceTypeResolver
        arguments:
            - 'landing_page' # the resource type should be returned for the route oro_cms_frontend_page_view
        tags:
            - { name: oro_frontend.api.resource_type_resolver, routeName: oro_cms_frontend_page_view }

    oro_cms.api.resource_api_url_resolver.landing_page:
        class: Oro\Bundle\FrontendBundle\Api\ResourceRestApiGetActionUrlResolver
        arguments:
            - '@router'
            - '@oro_api.rest.routes_registry'
            - '@oro_api.value_normalizer'
            - Oro\Bundle\CMSBundle\Entity\Page
        tags:
            - { name: oro_frontend.api.resource_api_url_resolver, routeName: oro_cms_frontend_page_view, requestType: rest }

Here are some useful implementations of ResourceTypeResolverInterface and ResourceApiUrlResolverInterface:

• ResourceTypeResolver - resolves a resource type by a route name.

• ResourceRestApiGetActionUrlResolver - resolves the URL of the get action REST API resource by a route name.

• ResourceRestApiGetListActionUrlResolver - resolves the URL of the get_list action REST API resource by a route name.
