API Platform Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Symfony 7 vs. .NET Core 8 - Controllers

  Another difference is that in .NET Core, we can integrate with OpenAPI out of the box (it is part of the framework), while in Symfony, an API-based application with OpenAPI features is only available using a third-party tool—the API Platform. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• Consistent validation with API Platform 3

  API Platform is a great tool for rapid API development, but it has a lot of not-so-well-documented features which can sometimes lead to confusion. Playing around with a new project of mine I've stumbled into one: tests were failing for my validation assertions of endpoints' responses! - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Lucky like a 7 — Seven SymfonyCasts Courses to Master Symfony 7

  Technically API Platform is not part of Symfony. Although, they are both French. 😉. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Shot in the dark

  Probably API-platform. The website is down at the moment, but: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform It's Symfony based (and plays nice in that ecosystem), also allows you to describe entities via Schema org vocab, has a client generator, and comes with docker-compose and helm charts. I've used it extensively to build various headless services. It's really easy to expose annotated Doctrine entities. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Questions about getting started with PHP

  On the Symfony side, a headless API can be built really quickly with https://api-platform.com/. You describe your domain entities with Schema.org vocabulary, can use a client generator to hammer out a UI in Next, Nuxt, Quasar, or whatever as a starter, it comes with an admin backend, and a Helm chart to deploy on Kubernetes. Works great for APIs when paired with, say Nuxt SSGs/PWAs if you want more of a JAMstack... Source: almost 2 years ago

• What is the best way to write a dedicated server?

  It could be implemented with STOMP, or Mercure (goes well with API-Platform, written in PHP/Symfony), you could write your own with the help of nchan and scale it via Redis. If it's a web service, the best practices for operating and scaling are well established, Godot then just becomes another client. Source: about 2 years ago

• A Poor Man's API

  Many projects grow to the point that the limitations of writing everything in views and stored procedures becomes more painful than writing the CRUD code in Python, Node, Ruby, PHP, or whatever. Personally, I’d give a shout for https://api-platform.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Controller ConstraintViolationListInterface

  As a side note, most of the FOS (Friends of Symfony) bundles have pretty much gone away in the current Symfony framework. If your primary goal is to support legacy applications then by all means dive in and learn the implementation details. If you are more focused on learning up to date Symfony then you might look at things like the Symfony based api-platform. Source: over 2 years ago

  I agree with a lot of others in this thread that php has become a modern language and is a reliable choice with a big, mature ecosystem (via composer/packagist).
