Retrieving a request parameter from Symfony's Request

[NotionCommotion]

Doing something wrong, but don't see it.  How should one retrieve a POST parameter?  My $request->toArray()['html'] works, but I am sure it is not the "right way".

<?php
namespace App\DataPersister;
use ApiPlatform\Core\DataPersister\DataPersisterInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;

class ArchivePersister implements DataPersisterInterface
{
    public function __construct(RequestStack $requestStack)
    {
        $request = $requestStack->getCurrentRequest();
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->getMethod(): '.$request->getMethod());
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->getContent(): '.$request->getContent());
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->request->get(html): '.$request->request->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->query->get(html): '.$request->query->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->get(html): '.$request->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->toArray(): '.json_encode($request->toArray()));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->toArray()[html]: '.$request->toArray()['html']);
    }
}

output

$request->getMethod(): POST
$request->getContent(): {"project":"/projects/1","description":"","html":"<p>{{ project_name }}</p>"}
$request->request->get(html):
$request->query->get(html):
$request->get(html):
$request->toArray(): {"project":"\/projects\/1","description":"","html":"<p>{{ project_name }}<\/p>"}
$request->toArray()[html]: <p>{{ project_name }}</p>

If your post body is json then it seems you need to either use getContent to grab the json and parse it manually or use toArray to grab then parsed array.

$request->request->get() is how you would get normal post parameters but it seems that it doesn't process json documents and make the keys available via it.

Thanks kicken,  I am surprised and was sure it was user error on my part.  I think I am sending the correct content type header, but maybe symfony's request class isn't that sophisticated.  Still hard to believe.
