Research direction

Start by reproducing the first resource click or page reload with the provided HydraAdmin, hydraDataProvider, custom httpClient, and apiDocumentationParser setup, then inspect the browser network trace. Trace the initial requests through the data provider and frontend entry points; done means the initial resource load no longer fires unexplained duplicate requests in development or production.

Description

API Platform version(s) affected: x.y.z

Backend

v3.3.12

Frontend

"@api-platform/admin": "^4.0.1",

Description
When I click on a resource for the first time a lot of requests will fire. Here I reload the page on a specific resource (http://localhost:3000/#/locations). We also tested in prod mode.

How to reproduce
Its a simple example. I just use a custom httpClient to set a header for the authorization (jwt).

import { HydraAdmin, hydraDataProvider } from "@api-platform/admin";
import { parseHydraDocumentation } from "@api-platform/api-doc-parser";
import { ENTRYPOINT } from "./constants/entrypoint";
import MyHeaders from "./constants/headers";
import httpClient from "./components/HttpClient";

// Replace with your own API entrypoint
// For instance if https://example.com/api/books is the path to the collection of book resources, then the entrypoint is https://example.com/api

const apiDocumentationParser = () => async () => {
  try {
    return await parseHydraDocumentation(ENTRYPOINT, {
      headers: MyHeaders
    });
  } catch (result) {
    // @ts-ignore
    const { api, response, status } = result;
    if (status !== 401 || !response) {
      throw result;
    }

    return {
      api,
      response,
      status,
    };
  }
};

const dataProvider = hydraDataProvider({
  entrypoint: ENTRYPOINT,
  httpClient: httpClient,
  apiDocumentationParser: apiDocumentationParser(),
  useEmbedded: false,
});

export default () => (
  <HydraAdmin dataProvider={dataProvider} />
);
