PHP - Creating a pretty printing JMS Serializer at runtime

#php

I needed to create a pretty printing JMS Serializer for a unit test, and couldn't find a good example. So here's one for the next person.

Note: If doing this application wide I'd recommend using the config instead, as specified here http://jmsyst.com/bundles/JMSSerializerBundle/master/configuration#extension-reference

 private function createPrettyPrintingJsonSerializer(): Serializer { $builder = SerializerBuilder::create(); $builder->setSerializationVisitor( 'json', (new JsonSerializationVisitorFactory())->setOptions(JSON_PRETTY_PRINT) ); return $builder->build(); }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
 public function testUsingTheSerializer(): void { $serializer = $this->createPrettyPrintingJsonSerializer(); $data = [ 'a' => 't1', 'b' => 't2', ]; print($serializer->serialize($data, 'json')); }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
