 If you're creating a REST api with a custom response, here's an example
 of what you would have in the `normalize` function:

        public function normalize($product, string $format = null, array $context = [])
        {
            $data = $this->normalizer->normalize($product, $format, $context);

            // Here, add, edit, or delete your fields:
            $data = [
                'id' => $product->getId(),
                'name' => $product->getName(),
                'description' => $product->getDescription(),
                'price' => $product->getPrice(),
                'available' => $product->getAvailable(),
                'category' => $product->getCategory()->getName(),
            ];
            return $data;
        }

What is different from the lines above in your example?

I wanted to specifically mention REST api since I spent a lot of time searching keywords before I found the custom normalizer Copy link Contributor maxheliasMar 25, 2021 Choose a reason for hiding this comment The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others.Learn more. I think then that the example is not necessary since it seems to me identical to the previous one. Maybe more a rewording to add this mentions. Copy link Author usersinaMar 25, 2021 Choose a reason for hiding this comment The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others.Learn more. I see. I thought the documentation in this part wasn't rich enough in examples since I had to do some extra googling before knowing how to return specific attributes (see lines 62 to 74). Might be just me since I mainly work with node environments, but feel free to make some edits. More details on why I made these changes.

I don't think this is the correct place for it. It would be easier to use`#[Groups]` attribute on your`Product` class rather than building a custom normalizer for it.
