I am using Symfony & Api Platform with docker, and I am trying to create a reset password feature in my application that also sends a mail when its succesfull. I have installed a package called ‘CoopTilleulsForgotPasswordBundle’.

I read and followed the instructions from their github https://github.com/coopTilleuls/CoopTilleulsForgotPasswordBundle/tree/main

After setting everything up according to the documentation that is provided.

I tested it with loading ‘Fixtures’ fake data( symfony console doctrine:fixtures:load ).
And then I used Postman to try it out with fake data that had been loaded to my database thanks to fixtures.

But When I send a Post request with a body,

[email => fake_email@from_database.com]

to the route: ‘localhost::80/api/forgot-password/’

I receive: ‘{“message”:”No parameter sent.”}’

This is kind if confusing because I did not really understand what it meant.
I hoped and expected some token back as verification that it found the email.

I am not to familiar with Symfony but I really want to try it out for the project I am working on.

As I mentioned It confused me as I didnt understood what I should do to solve this.

I tried adding a parameter with a provider from ‘config/packages/coop_tilleuls_forgot_password.yaml’ when sending the email

# config/packages/coop_tilleuls_forgot_password.yaml
coop_tilleuls_forgot_password:
    providers: 
        customer:
            default: true
            password_token:
                class: 'AppEntityPasswordToken' # required
                expires_in: '1 day'
                user_field: 'user'
                serialization_groups: []
            user:
                class: 'AppEntityUser' # required
                email_field: 'email'

According to the documentation the key should be ‘FP-provider’ with value of a provider.

FP-provider => customer

But I am still getting the same message ‘No parameter found’.

I then tried create a GetTokenController

namespace AppControllerApi;
use SymfonyComponentHttpFoundationResponse;
final class GetTokenController
{
    public function __invoke(): Response
    {
        // return new Response('', Response::HTTP_NO_CONTENT);
        return new Response('Testing', Response::HTTP_OK);
    }
}

At the moment I am kind of stuck trying to create api endpoint(s) that provide a reset feature in my application.
