Identify directComplement in supports() method in Spread

[ppounder]

Hi there,

I'm trying to locate the object that I've set against a directComplement in my supports() method in my spread.

I've created my timeline using the following

$action = $this->action_manager->create($subject, 'announced', array('directComplement' => $announcement));

$subject is a User object, $announcement is an announcement object, which has a OneToMany relationship to groups to which I've set the announcement to be viewed by. In the groups theres a relationship to the Users in that group.

What I'm looking at doing is checking to see if the action is a an Announcement object, if it does, I then process the users who can view that announcement.

I can't do the following:

public function supports(ActionInterface $action)
    {
        return $action->hasComponent('Announcement');
    }

as it the component is actually "directComplement".

Can anyone advise how I can find the object set in the directComplement against that action, or a better way of setting my timeline action?

Kind regards,
Paul

Answered my own question, but just wondered if anyone had a better way of doing this? I also have another question.underneath my solution:

CONST ANNOUNCEMENT_CLASS = 'Acme\DemoBundle\Entity\Announcement';

    public function supports(ActionInterface $action)
    {
        if($action->hasComponent('directComplement'))
        {
            $dComplement = $action->getComponent('directComplement');
            if (is_object($dComplement) && $dComplement->getModel()  == self::ANNOUNCEMENT_CLASS) {
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }
        return false;
    }

I can get the object ID in the process() method by $announcement = $action->getComponent('directComplement')->getIdentifier(); but how do I go about getting the full announcement object. Will I need to pass the Entity Manager into my Spread to pull from the DB or is there a method hidden somewhere to do this?

Hi,

Your solution is good, no way to do it differently.

To get the full object, do you add DataHydrator filter ? If yes, use $action->getComponent('directComplement')->getData()

Hi Stéphane,

I haven't added the DataHydrator but I will do, that will be exactly what I need. Many thanks
