SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers manage different versions of their API Platform APIs within a Symfony application, ensuring smooth transitions and backward compatibility.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Versioning Strategies: Implement URI versioning, separate DTOs, or header-based versioning.
  • Deprecation Management: Mark old API endpoints as deprecated and provide links to newer versions.
  • Use Case: You need to introduce breaking changes to your /api/products endpoint. Use this Skill to create a /api/v2/products endpoint while gracefully deprecating the /api/v1/products endpoint.

Quick Start

Use the symfony:api-platform-versioning skill to implement URI versioning for your API resources.

FAQPage Schema
How do I version a REST API in Symfony using API Platform?▼

To version a REST API in Symfony using API Platform, you can implement URI versioning, separate DTOs, or header-based versioning. This allows you to introduce new endpoint versions while maintaining backward compatibility for existing API consumers.

What is the best way to deprecate old API endpoints in API Platform?▼

The best way to deprecate old API endpoints in API Platform is by marking them as deprecated and providing links to newer versions. This approach facilitates API evolution by offering clear migration paths and sunset headers to clients.

Can I use header-based versioning instead of URI versioning for my Symfony API?▼

Yes, you can use header-based versioning instead of URI versioning for your Symfony API. This Skill supports multiple versioning strategies, allowing you to choose URI paths, separate DTOs, or header-based versioning based on your API design requirements.

How do I introduce breaking changes to an API Platform resource without breaking existing clients?▼

To introduce breaking changes without breaking existing clients, create a new versioned endpoint like `/api/v2/products` while gracefully deprecating the old `/api/v1/products` endpoint. This ensures smooth transitions and backward compatibility during API evolution.

When should I use separate DTOs for API versioning in Symfony?▼

You should use separate DTOs for API versioning in Symfony when you need distinct data structures for different API versions. This strategy isolates breaking changes between versions while keeping the core domain logic clean and maintainable.
