Will there be future support for HATEOAS? about api-platform HOT 7 CLOSED

@renan-taranto HAL is now implemented in V2.

from api-platform.

In fact HATEOAS is supported out of the box by API Platform. By default, all APIs are compliant with JSON-LD and Hydra (W3C recommandations about Linked Data/HATEOAS).

Adding support for other HATEOAS formats such as HAL or SIREN should be really easy in the dev-master version thanks to Content Negotiation: https://github.com/api-platform/doc/blob/master/api-bundle/content-negotiation.md

If someone start to work on supporting such formats, I'll be pleased to merge it upstream.

I wonder how to add link elements (that indicates related possible actions) to the representation of a resource using api-platform. And how to dinamically add/remove these links like is shown in this example http://restcookbook.com/Basics/hateoas/.
Could you give me some hints or maybe an example?

from api-platform.

A few weeks ago I've seen a symfony bundle that can add linked data to entities by using only annotations.

For example to publish a blog post. The /publish or /unpublish links could be added as a Relation with specific expressions like only add the /publish link if the isPublished() method returns false. And only if the requested user has the ADMIN role.

I've just found the related bundle: https://github.com/willdurand/BazingaHateoasBundle

I think this can be usefull, but might not be the best solution to integrate these links/actions.

Thank you very much leroy0211. I'm just learning, so for now I will use FOSRest, JSMSerializer and BazingaHateoas until I find a way to do that with API Platform.

@renan-taranto You want HAL support right? You can do it (yourself) with the dev-master version. You need to implement a Symfony Normalizer implementing HAL support like we've done for JSON-LD: https://github.com/dunglas/DunglasApiBundle/blob/master/JsonLd/Serializer/ItemNormalizer.php

from api-platform.

@dunglas I am new to JSON-LD and after some researches on the web I believe that what I want is not supported by it. I will read about the Symfony Normalizer and try to implement HAL. Thanks for the great framework man.
