Using a message bus like Symfony Messenger is a wonderful way of structuring your application around commands or queries (which will just be PHP classes). API Platform is a great framework to expose APIs.

The point of this bridge is to enable you to build business actions-centric APIs instead of CRUD APIs. Check this very simple example.

Note: This is still an experimentation. You will likely have to contribute to make it fit your needs. Looking forward to review your pull-requests!

1. Get an API Platform application. Easiest is to use Symfony's api pack:

   composer create-project symfony/skeleton api-platform-and-messenger && \ cd api-platform-and-messenger && \ composer req api

2. Install this bridge

   composer req sroze/api-platform-messenger:dev-master

3. Configure your message(s) to be handled by API Platform like in the following example:

   <?php namespace App\Message; use Sam\ApiPlatform\Messenger\Annotation\ApiMessage; use Symfony\Component\Validator\Constraints\NotBlank; /**  * @ApiMessage(  * path="/write-message",  * type="command"  * )  */ class WriteMessage { /**  * @NotBlank  *  * @var string  */ public $message; }

• path. The URL path where your command will be exposed.
• type. The type of message. Can be:
  • query: Will be exposed via a GET method
  • command: Will be exposed via a POST method
