How to deserialize an array in root of json post request

[drmmr763]

Hello! Thanks for this very useful package!

I seem to be having trouble figuring out how to properly deserialize into my data classes an array that is at the root level of the POST request.

For example:

POST projects/{projectID}/bulk-operations

[
  {
     "command": "update",
     "candidateId": 1,
     "hidden": true
  },
  {
     "command": "update",
     "candidateId": 1,
     "hidden": true
  },
]

I'm trying to magically deserialize the above with a controller request method.

class myController extends Controller {

   public function bulkUpdate(BulkUpdateRequest $request, Project $project)
   {
      //
   }
}

Then in my request data class

class BulkUpdateRequest {
  public function __construct(
      /** Collection<int, BulkUpdateProjectCandidateOperation> $operations */ 
      public array $operations // <! -- cannot seem to get this to hydrate from the root of the json body
   )
  {}
}

It seems the only way I can make this work is by placing the commands into a wrapper field:

POST projects/{projectID}/bulk-operations

{
  "commands: [
   {
     "command": "update",
     "candidateId": 1,
     "hidden": true
  },
  {
     "command": "update",
     "candidateId": 1,
     "hidden": true
  }
]
}

And then updating the DTOs accordingly. But, I think I really shouldn't have todo that. Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

I did try using #[MapInputName('')] but that just failed to validate.
