[Flow] Re: Action Validation of Model

[Benjamin Robichaud]

For anyone that might stumble upon this issue, here's an Aspect I created to bypass validation alltogheter on safe requests (e.g. GET, HEAD). Since all data is validated upon unsafe requests (POST, PUT), I don't see the need to re-validate again on unsafe requests since no data can be written to the database anyway (in Flow 2.0).

<code>

use TYPO3\Flow\Annotations as Flow;

/**
 * ActionControllerAspect
 *
 * @Flow\Aspect
 */
class ActionControllerAspect {

    /**
     * @Flow\Inject
     * @var \TYPO3\Flow\Object\ObjectManagerInterface
     */
    protected $objectManager;

    /**
     * An aspect which skips validation completely for an actionj if it is safe
     *
     * @Flow\Around("method(TYPO3\Flow\Mvc\Controller\ActionController->initializeActionMethodValidators())")
     * @param \TYPO3\Flow\Aop\JoinPointInterface $joinPoint The current joinpoint
     * @return void
     */
    public function initializeActionMethodValidators(\TYPO3\Flow\Aop\JoinPointInterface $joinPoint) {
        /** @var \TYPO3\Flow\Mvc\Controller\ActionController $actionController */
        $actionController = $joinPoint->getProxy();
        /** @var \TYPO3\Flow\Mvc\ActionRequest $request */
        $request = \TYPO3\Flow\Reflection\ObjectAccess::getProperty($actionController, 'request', TRUE);

        if ($request->getHttpRequest()->isMethodSafe() === FALSE) {
            $joinPoint->getAdviceChain()->proceed($joinPoint);
        }
    }
}
