Your voice is clearer than your previous videos. I was scared of watching it at first but it turned out great. Good job man.

Great course, thank you very much Gary. But there's one thing missing for me. Secure settings for API documentation.

Thanks to Gary Clarke for providing the API platform tutorial, but I have a question, how to return the normal array composed of errno, errmsg, data?

[olasunkanmiadeniji]

Gary, thanks always for these amazing videos. They always come at the right time.

Hi Gary, really love these videos, they are easy to follow and gets you up to speed quickly. Any chance the API-Platform Crash Course could be updated for version 3?

Great content, Gary, I am really enjoying your tutorials. Keep going!

When I implement CsutomAuthentication, it works, but as soon az I uncheck the x-api-token or return false in Supports method, I still get the result of the api and the authentication is not checked. How can I do so, that always when client want to send request has to set header x-api-token ?

Thank you for the video! Could you record some lessons about GraphQl based on Api-Platform?

Hello Gary, I have a question, I'm not sure if you or someone else will respond since the video was released over a year ago. I have a question regarding SubResources. I've just migrated from API Platform v2.6 to 3.2. I can apply filters to, for example, /services/leads but I can't figure out how to create filters for my route /services/leads/{id}. If you could tell me how you managed to apply filters, I saw that you were able to do it. Thank you.

Gary, thank you for ths great content i hope you keep up

Hello, great video ! i liked the "API Token Authentication" part, i'm tired with JWT on all tutorial . i have just 2 questions, when you set the token to a user after he create a account? and make a realtion oneToOne between user and apiToken is a good ideal? like we update the token in the same field etc... thank you ;)

Brilliant Gary.Btw is it possible to write tests for my API using Symfony API platform?

[chrobaks]

@Gary Clarke, operationCollections is not working in the latest API version. Now it's using #[ApiResource(operations:[new GetCollection(), ...])]

[Marco_Ris]

Hi Gary. I'm struggling a bit with the versions. How much differs the actual version of the api-platform with the one you are showing? As always thank you so much for the sharing of your knowledge and time.

[garethfuller]

Well thought out, nice pace and very nice intro to api platform. many thanks!

[mosesegboh]

Hi Gary, please is there a tutorial for creating a custom endpoint and controller for performing custom operations?

[vanthachhorn]

I'm not really sure why, but I can't seem to get my OrderFilter to work. Any clues?

[chrobaks]

Very good lessons, thanks a lot for this. One Question: Why you don't use "symfony console make:entity" instead of writing the entity code per hand? You are explaining every line in the code, what is very usefull, but is there a reason you don't use the command line from symfony for this?

[benefiting_the_believer]

Hi.
Can i also integrate API Platform into an existing API ?
And if yes... how?

[darkside]

i got this error : " "detail": "Unable to call method \"getOwner\" of object \"ApiPlatform\\Doctrine\\Orm\\Paginator\".", "
