These years of developing skeletons compatible with dev environments, continuous integration chains, and…
Tag: API Platform
Front-end application development, Symfony-style(s)
We recently introduced the AssetMapper component and Symfony UX to make the most of the web platform and reduce the amount of JavaScript code to the absolute minimum.

This presentation is about decentralized web applications, but…
Preventing CORS Preflight Requests Using Content Negotiation
In modern web applications, it’s a common pattern to serve the web API and the frontend app from different subdomains: https://api.example.com: your web API, usually serving JSON documents https://example.com: your web application, usually built in JavaScript, generating HTML documents from the raw JSON data retrieved from the API This was the pattern implemented by API…
