Founder of Les-Tilleuls.coop (worker-owned cooperative). Creator of API Platform, Mercure.rocks, Vulcain.rocks and of some Symfony components.
I’m very excited to announce the immediate availability of API Platform 2.5! API Platform is a set of standalone server and client components for building and consuming REST (JSON-LD, Hydra, JSON:API…) and GraphQL APIs.

Next.js is a convenient and powerful framework for React. Its main benefit over using React directly is its transparent support for Server-Side Rendering.Material UI is a very popular set of React components implementing Google’s Material Design guidelines.

Symfony 4 embed many gems that make it easy to integrate modern JavaScript within the framework,…

This attack raised, again, the problem of the JS dependency…

Unfortunately, the SF functional test helper and the Goutte web scrapping lib aren’t able to execute JS code. It means that they cannot assert on client-side generated HTML,…
I’ll speak at several conferences until the end of 2018. The topics will be varied: Panther, modern JavaScript, HTTP/2 and a brand new project to be announced (teasing: it’s written in Go, and it will be very helpful for serverless architectures!). See you at: Symfony Live London (September, 27th): Building API-driven apps with API Platform…
Today, an introduction blog post to Panther was published on the Symfony blog! Panther is a new browser testing and web scraping library I contributed to the Symfony project, In the blog post, I showcase how to use Symfony, API Platform and VueJS together to create a small but modern app, and how to test…
