Go to class Write review

Overview

Welcome to part 3 of the Api Platform series! In part 1, we built a fully-featured API. Then in part 2 we leveled-up by adding a robust security system, security checks and user-specific fields.

So what's left? In part 3, we're taking customizations to the next level:

  • A RESTful implementation of a "publish" action
  • Complex ACL rules around who can publish under different conditions
  • Doing custom actions before save with a data persister
  • Truly custom fields via a data provider
  • Completely-custom, non-entity API resources
  • Adding pagination to custom resources
  • Custom filters (for entity and non-entity resources)
  • The input/output DTO system
  • Using UUID's

Phew! Yep, in this tutorial, we're going deep into customizations. Ready? Let's go!
