Create REST api in Symfony

A) Download the Bundle

Open a command console, enter your project directory and execute the following command to download the latest stable version of this bundle:

$ composer require friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle

 

B) Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding the following line in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

// app/AppKernel.php class AppKernel extends Kernel { public function registerBundles() { $bundles = [ // ... new FOS\RestBundle\FOSRestBundle(), ];   // ... } }

 

C) Enable a Serializer

This bundle needs a serializer to work correctly. In most cases, you'll need to enable a serializer or install one. This bundle tries the following (in the given order) to determine the serializer to use:

• The one you configured using service.serializer(if you did).
• The JMS serializer, if the JMSSerializerBundleis available (and registered).
• The Symfony Serializerif it's enabled (or any service called serializer).

1. D) Update config.yml
