API Platform 3.2

We just released API Platform 3.2! We presented most of the new features at the API Platform Con, here are my slides.

Use composer recipes:update to update your configuration file. The default configuration file is:

api_platform:
    title: Hello API Platform
    version: 1.0.0
    formats:
        jsonld: ['application/ld+json']
    docs_formats:
        jsonld: ['application/ld+json']
        jsonopenapi: ['application/vnd.openapi+json']
        html: ['text/html']
    defaults:
        stateless: true
        cache_headers:
            vary: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization', 'Origin']
        extra_properties:
            standard_put: true
            rfc_7807_compliant_errors: true # this will be the default value in 4.x
    event_listeners_backward_compatibility_layer: false # use symfony event listeners
    keep_legacy_inflector: false # use doctrine/inflector

Listeners will not get removed in API Platform 4 but will rather use our new Providers and Processors. You can now force the request to go through a particular state for example:

#[Post(read: true)] // to force reading even though it's a POST

# Try it live!

API Platform webassembly playground

With this new version we introduced guides that you can run live in your browser in the API Platform playground.
