API PLATFORM WITH SYMFONY

This repository provides a step-by-step guide to set up an API platform using Symfony. It includes the installation of required packages, creation of entities, and execution of migrations.

Installation

Install a new Symfony project:
```
symfony new ApiPlateform
```
Navigate to the project directory:
```
cd ApiPlateform
```
Install the API platform:
```
symfony composer req api
```

Install ORM, Migration, Maker, Fixtures, and Testing:

symfony composer req orm
symfony composer req migrations
symfony composer req --dev make
symfony composer req --dev orm-fixtures
symfony composer req --dev test

Install JWT (Json Web Token) authentication:

symfony composer req lexik/jwt-authentication-bundle

Install Faker (generates fake data for testing):
- Please follow the installation instructions provided by Faker to install the package.
- Run the following command to install the package:
```
composer require --dev fzaninotto/faker
```

Entities

Create the User entity:
```
bin/console make:user
```
Create the Article entity:
```
bin/console make:entity Article
```

Migrations

Generate a migration:
```
symfony console make:migration
```
Execute the migration to update the database schema:
```
bin/console doctrine:migrations:migrate
```

Run Fake data

php bin/console  doctrine:fixtures:load

Run App

   symfony server:start

go to =>http://127.0.0.1:8000/api

Run testUnit

bin/phpunit

Error in Groups of serialization :

bin/console cache:clear

normalizationContext vs denormalizationContext:

normalizationContext:['groups'=>['user:read']]=> indicating that only properties annotated with this group should be included in the normalized output(get/getcollection) ex: #[Groups(['user:write'])] {"email": "ypouros@hotmail.com", }

denormalizationContext:['groups'=>['user:write']]=>when deserializing input data. (post/put/patch) #[Groups(['user:write'])] { "email": "string" }
