API

[artyuum]

Hi,

I'm not sure if this has already been asked before as I didn't find anything relevant with the term "api" when I searched in this repo.

This demo is good enough to help the beginners to understand how Symfony works and how to do "things".

I was just wondering if an API is planned for this application? This would help the beginners who are trying to create more than a simple website: an API.

My suggestion is to create few CRUD routes to interact with the application and show the user how to map & validate the incoming request, why not implement a (basic?) stateless authentication, how to return a consistent reponse across the different routes, etc.

What do you think?

Thanks for your proposal.

I think we should not add an example of an API. The purpose of this demo app is to teach/showcase the core of Symfony framework/components. That's why we must be very cautious about adding new features, especially if they are large and complex, such as an API.

Maybe a new Symfony API Demo app could be done by the community or by the API Platform project (maybe they already have one).

Fair.
