API Platform 3 Part 3: Custom Resources by Ryan Weaver

Thanks to part 1 & part 2, we’ve already built a seriously powerful API, complete with security, custom fields and many more goodies. In this course, we’ll take things even further

• State Providers & “proper” custom fields
• Run custom code on a “state” change (e.g. publishing)
• Custom (non-entity) DTO #[ApiResource] classes
• The new stateOptions shortcut for DTO’s
• DTO’s & state providers (make:state-provider)
• State processors with DTO’s
• Data transformation with symfonycasts/micro-mapper
• IGNORED_ATTRIBUTES, security & other tricks to avoid serialization groups
• Embedded objects (including non-ApiResource objects)
• Pagination for DTO resources

Woh. If you thought you were dangerous before with API Platform, just wait…
