React 15.2.1 code to be used with the Symfony 3 API / CRUD tutorial project

Simple CRUD with React 15.2.1, Symfony 3, FOSRESTBundle

This is an example of a very basic CRUD API using React 15.2.1 to talk to Symfony 3 and FOSRESTBundle.

This is the React code to talk to the API made during the second set of videos of this course.

The aim of this course is to show how you can use Symfony 3 (along with some other bundles) to quickly make a working RESTful API to use as the back end for any modern front-end framework - such as Angular, React, Ember, or any of the mobile app frameworks like Ionic, or desktop frameworks such as Electron.

If you haven't already seen it, check out the Twig version of this API, where everything is a little more static, but also much more visual and easy to follow along if new to Symfony 3.

The code in this repository is a simple React 15.2.1 implementation of a CRUD app to talk to a Symfony 3 REST API.

This project was based on the React Hot Boilerplate by gaearon / Dan Abramov.

Please note, I am not a React / Angular expert, and this project is highly likely not following best practice. It is intended as an introduction, rather than gospel.

PHP 7

This app was written using PHP 7. There may be backwards compatability issues, primarily around type hinting.

More Real World Version

This is an introduction to quickly building API's with Symfony 3.

In truth, beyond a simple implementation such as this, API's can become quite complex.

If you understand the basics and want to make a more robust system - including testing with Behat, and PHPSpec, then I would recommend you check out my Symfony 3 REST Tutorial instead / as well.
