Creating Routing Paths using FosRestFundle in Symfony - rest

Question

I am developing an Api for one of my projects in Symfony and I want create several routing paths like the following:
/api/messages/{id}
/api/messages/creator/{username}
/api/messages/receiver/{username}
My routing files are configured in this way (I will post just the info relating to the api config):
routing.yml:
NelmioApiDocBundle:
resource: "#NelmioApiDocBundle/Resources/config/routing.yml"
prefix: "/doc"
api:
type: rest
resource: "routing_api.yml"
prefix: /api
routing_api.yml:
api_message:
type: rest
resource: AppBundle\Controller\ApiMessagesController
api_chats:
type: rest
resource: AppBundle\Controller\ApiChatController
And my ApiMessagesController:
<?php
namespace AppBundle\Controller;
use FOS\RestBundle\Controller\FOSRestController;
use FOS\RestBundle\View\RouteRedirectView;
use FOS\RestBundle\Controller\Annotations\RouteResource;
use Nelmio\ApiDocBundle\Annotation\ApiDoc;
/**
* Class ApiMessagesController
* #package AppBundle\Controller
*
* #RouteResource("messages")
*/
class ApiMessagesController extends FOSRestController{
/**
* Gets an individual Message
*
* #param int $id
* #return mixed
* #throws \Doctrine\ORM\NoResultException
* #throws \Doctrine\ORM\NonUniqueResultException
*
* #ApiDoc(
* output="AppBundle\Entity\Message",
* statusCodes={
* 200 = "Returned when successful",
* 404 = "Return when not found"
* }
* )
*/
public function getAction($id){;
return $this->get('app.message.manager')->findById($id);
}
/**
* Gets all messages sent by each users
*
* #param int $id
* #return mixed
* #throws \Doctrine\ORM\NoResultException
* #throws \Doctrine\ORM\NonUniqueResultException
*
* #ApiDoc(
* output="AppBundle\Entity\Message",
* statusCodes={
* 200 = "Returned when successful",
* 404 = "Return when not found"
* }
* )
*/
public function getCreatorAction($creator){
return $this->get('app.message.manager')->findByCreator($creator);
}
}
The route /api/messages/{id} works as I expected but I am really stuck right now about how to define the route /api/messages/creator/{creator} because Nelmio is telling me that I created this route /api/messages/{creator}/creator instead of /api/messages/creator/{username}
I think that I put all info regarding to my issue, but if something is missing tell me and I will update my question. Thanks

If you're not happy with URLs FOSRest does, you can always use #Route annotation and redefine everything you need.
