Alternatives to this project about rest

[TobiasHauck]

Have a look at this project:
https://github.com/CircleOfNice/DoctrineRestDriver

rapl/rapl looks good.

DoctrineRestDriver looks nice, btw, when you building your own API from scratch. We already have one and it was not a REST, so we have an private client for and a working for a new one, mentioned above

I would also be interested in the reason(s) why this project isn't maintained anymore...
Maybe other developers might be interested in taking over the project... My bet is there are 30 forks for a reason...

[Potherca]

Thanks for the suggestion! RAPL does indeed look good.

[scaytrase]

As far as I see RAPL is abandoned now too. We've implemented own tool intop of doctrine\common.

https://github.com/bankiru/doctrine-api-client

It uses RPC API terminology, but there is no problem to transform RPC call to REST one (forge the URL from method and parameters and left other parameters to body\query args)

Currently it's read only (no merge\persist\flush calls implemented), but we are working on it

That seems to be an understatement.

Looks like the only remaining alternatives are:

• https://github.com/bankiru/doctrine-api-client
• https://github.com/CircleOfNice/DoctrineRestDriver

Lately, we've been using this: https://api-platform.com

It's a broader solution (build with Symfony) but it does offer a REST API, based on Doctrine entities...

[scaytrase]

@Potherca does it provide REST API client based on doctrine entities? this repo did both

[Potherca]

Indirectly, yes. A Swagger file is generated based on the Entities, a REST API client can be generated using the Swagger Code Generator.

The big advantage is that non-PHP clients can be generated just as easily as a PHP client.

Because API-Platform uses hydra (and/or JSON-LD) the Swagger file (and thus the generated client) can be made very precise.
