Incorrect collection name when posting multiple values with API tools and Hal Json

Hi,
I have an issue where I need to POST multiple values, but in the response, the HAL collection name has defaulted to “items”. The GET works correctly and gives the correct response.

How do I get the POST to provide the correct collection name?

Very simple example to hopefully demostrate my issue.

In the resource i have the typical fetchAll and create functions, for demo purposes I have hardcoded the values.

The fetchAll function:

public function fetchAll($params = [])
{
    $result = array();
    $result[0]->id= 1;
    $result[0]->name= 'name1';

    $result[1]->id= 2;
    $result[1]->name= 'name2';

    foreach($result as $row) {
        $entities[]= new WidgetsEntity($row);           
    }  
    $adapter = new ArrayAdapter($entities);       
    
    $collection = new WidgetsCollection($adapter);
    return $collection;   
    
}

Returns:

{
“_links”: {
“self”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets?page=1”
},
“first”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets”
},
“last”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets?page=1”
}
},
“_embedded”: {
“widgets”: [
{
“id”: 1,
“name”: “name1”,
“_links”: {
“self”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets/1”
}
}
},
{
“id”: 2,
“name”: “name2”,
“_links”: {
“self”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets/2”
}
}
}
]
},
“page_count”: 1,
“page_size”: 25,
“total_items”: 2,
“page”: 1
}

The create function, using the exact same code as the fetchAll gives the following with the “items” instead of “widgets”

public function create($data)
{
    $result = array();
    $result[0]->id= 1;
    $result[0]->name= 'name1';
    
    $result[1]->id= 2;
    $result[1]->name= 'name2';
    
    foreach($result as $row) {
        $entities[]= new WidgetsEntity($row);
    }
    $adapter = new ArrayAdapter($entities);
    
    $collection = new WidgetsCollection($adapter);
    return $collection;   
}

Returns:

{
“_links”: {
“self”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets?page=1”
},
“first”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets”
},
“last”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets?page=1”
}
},
“_embedded”: {
“items”: [
{
“id”: 1,
“name”: “name1”,
“_links”: {
“self”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets/1”
}
}
},
{
“id”: 2,
“name”: “name2”,
“_links”: {
“self”: {
“href”: “/demo-services/widgets/2”
}
}
}
]
},
“page_count”: 1,
“page_size”: 30,
“total_items”: 2,
“page”: 1
}

Why is it doing this and how do I replace “items” with “widgets”?

Any help would be appreciated here.

Sorted this one myself by setting and object property to “widgets”
Example :

   $adapter = new ArrayAdapter($entities);
   $collection = new \stdClass();
   $collection->widgets= new WidgetsCollection($adapter);
   return $collection;
