API Platform and Symfony: a Framework for API-driven Projects (SymfonyCon)

Here are the slides of my talk during the Symfony Con Cluj. You can rate this talk on joind.in.

Install API Platform. Design the API data model as a set of tiny plain old PHP classes. Instantly get:

• Fully featured dev environment with Symfony Flex and React containers, HTTP/2 and HTTPS support and a cache proxy
• Pagination, data validation, access control, relation embedding, filters and error handling
• Support for modern REST API formats: JSON-LD/Hydra, OpenAPI/Swagger, JSONAPI, HAL, JSON…
• GraphQL support
• An API responding in a just few milliseconds thanks to the builtin invalidation based cache mechanism
• A dynamically created Material Design admini interface (a la Sonata / EasyAdmin – but 100% client-side) built with React.
• Client apps skeletons: React/Redux, React Native, Vue.js, Angular…
• Finally, deploy in 1 command on Google Container Engine or any cloud with a Kubernetes instance with the provided Helm chart.

Yes, you just need is describing a data model, just a few line of codes to get all of that!
