Building an Operation Oriented Api using PHP and the Symfony Framework
Building an Operation Oriented Api using PHP and the Symfony Framework
An step-by-step guide
About the Book
In this book, we will learn to construct a robust and efficient API architecture that revolves around operations. By the end of this, you will have the knowledge and necessary skills to build an operation-oriented API using the PHP programming language and the Symfony framework.
This book is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of how to create a single API endpoint that embraces the concept of operations. We will utilize the robust features of Symfony to build an environment where operations are the focal point of our API design.
Please note that this book assumes a certain level of familiarity with the Symfony framework. It is not intended to serve as a comprehensive guide to Symfony but rather as a focused exploration of its powerful features for building an operation-oriented API.
It's also important to clarify that this book does not delve into the development of specific operations themselves. While we may use operation examples like "SendPayment" for illustrative purposes, the primary goal is to demonstrate how to construct the necessary code discover, manage and execute operations.
Throughout the chapters, we will cover essential Symfony topics such as dependency injection features, security authentication and background operations with Symfony Messenger.
