Serialization Groups

Hi there,

Quick question, I’ve tried looking through the documentation (including 2.0) but struggling to find the answer.

I have serialization groups set up on my Entity. This displays the required fields I want to see on my GET request, however I want to be able to display different fields on a custom GET Action that I’ve set up.

For example in the case of a Book entity that has a OneToMany to a Review Entity. In my out of the box GET request I have the serialization groups so that I don’t return any of the Reviews.

But I want to set up a Custom Action with say a route of book/1/reviews that brings back a few of the Book fields (name, isbn) and all the reviews linked. I know I can setup Groups per method type, but wondered if there was a way of setting a serialization group per GET request (such as one for the standard CRUD method and one for a Custom Action).

Hope that makes sense.

Kind regards Paul
