Looking for opinions of API-Platform

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/PHP

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • mixerapi

    CakePHP API Plugin for REST + JSON API Development [READ-ONLY]

  • FWIW, your code is powering a widely used US federal government application so you can hang your hat on that. Plus it was inspiration for me creating this: https://mixerapi.com

  • schema-generator

    PHP Model Scaffolding from Schema.org and other RDF vocabularies

  • For the record, in December we released a new version of the Schema Generator (it's almost a full rewrite) that supports PHP 8 attributes. It also supports updating existing classes: https://github.com/api-platform/schema-generator/releases/tag/v4.0.0

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • KnpOAuthBundle

    Discontinued You should probably use HWIOAuthBundle (https://github.com/hwi/HWIOAuthBundle) instead, though. -- THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED by KnpLabs

  • Regarding GraphQL, the support is still experimental and has indeed flaws, but it's improving. Regarding OAuth/OIDC, we don't endorse any library for this, but in my experience, the best solution is to rely on external servers such as Keycloack or Gravitee AM. Then you just have to validate the access token generated by the OAuth/OIDC server, this can be done by writing a Symfony Passport, or with https://github.com/KnpLabs/KnpOAuthBundle.

  • core

    The server component of API Platform: hypermedia and GraphQL APIs in minutes (by api-platform)

  • We started in 2.5 and I believe I upgraded us to 2.6 just before leaving. What was with completely changing how OpenAPI generation worked in a minor release? That took a massive refactor for some of the special things were doing to hook in: https://github.com/api-platform/core/pull/3407 definitely a lot nicer to work with, but was painful for going up a minor version given our workload at the time.

  • docs

    API Platform documentation (by api-platform)

  • This issue tracks what we want to do: https://github.com/api-platform/docs/issues/884

  • demo

    MixerAPI demo project based on the mixerapi/app template. (by mixerapi)

  • A more verbose demo application. Not to toot my own horn but I will... https://github.com/mixerapi/demo provides a lot of more examples of doing things then API Platforms demo does. At the time I think your demo only had like one or two basic crud endpoints.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
