Build Status - master

This bundle provide you a way to handle multiple version of your api. See Usage section to know how ise this bundle

Installation

Step 1: 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 xurudragon/api-versioning-bundle

This command requires you to have Composer installed globally, as explained in the installation chapter of the Composer documentation.

Step 2: Enable the Bundle

Then, enable the bundle by adding it to the list of registered bundles If you are on Symfony 3.* look in the app/AppKernel.php file of your project:

<?php
// app/AppKernel.php

// ...
class AppKernel extends Kernel
{
    public function registerBundles()
    {
        $bundles = array(
            // ...
            new XuruDragon\ApiVersioningBundle\XuruDragonApiVersioningBundle(),
        );

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

If you are on Symfony 4.* look in the config/bundles.php file of your project:

<?php

//config/bundles.php

return [
    // ....
    XuruDragon\ApiVersioningBundle\XuruDragonApiVersioningBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Step 3: Configuration

Nothing special to do here. Unless you want to change the header name sent to the api to processing versioning changes You can add theses entries into your config files :

xurudragon_versioning:
    # Header name that should be sent to the api to processing versioning changes
    header_name: X-Accept-Version #Header name

Usage

Introduction

Your API reponse must always match the latest version of your API.

To support multiple versions, you must for each version of your API that breaks the backward compatibility:

  1. create a change class inheriting from the following abstract class: XuruDragon\ApiVersioningBundle\Changes\AbstractChanges
  2. add an entry in the configuration file corresponding to the class created previously

we recommend to you the following structure:

  1. Create a folder named ApiChanges
  2. Name your classes ApiChangesXYZ, with X for the Major version, Y for the Minor version and Z for the Patch version

We assume that you know the semantic versioning system

Create the Change Class

Here is the 0.9.0 class version, which assumes that your API version is at least 0.9.1 .

<?php
// ../ApiChanges/ApiChanges090.php

namespace Your\Bundle\ApiChanges;

use XuruDragon\ApiVersioningBundle\Changes\AbstractChanges,

class ApiChanges090 extends AbstractChanges
{

    /**
     * Apply version changes for current request.
     *
     * @param array $data
     *
     * @return null|array
     */
    public function apply(array $data = [])
    {
        return $data;
    }

    /**
     * Returns true if this version changes is supported for current request.
     *
     * @param array $data
     *
     * @return null|bool
     */
    public function supports(array $data = [])
    {
        return true;
    }
    // ...
}

You should now implement the apply and supports methods with your own logic.

supports should return true or false following if this version change support the actual data returned by your latest api version.

apply should do whatever you want to transform the actual data into an version that correspond to this api version. The returned array would be encoded in json and return to the api client that have make the request.

####Example Imagine that version 1.0.0 of your API adds an entry to the json output of one of the called services. This entry would be "location" within the following data array returned by your latest API version :

$data = [
    'results' => [
        'firstname' => 'John',
        'lastname' => 'Doe',
        'location' => '4, Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surey', 
    ],
];

You must then delete this data entry so that the requested version 0.9.0 matches what the calling client is waiting for.

You can do that by modifying the previously created class with the following code :

<?php
// ../ApiChanges/ApiChanges090.php

namespace Your\Bundle\ApiChanges;

use XuruDragon\ApiVersioningBundle\Changes\AbstractChanges,

/**
 * Class ApiChanges090.
 */
class ApiChanges090 extends AbstractChanges
{
    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function apply(array $data = [])
    {
        //short example, but can be more more complex
        unset($data['results']['location']);

        return $data;
    }

    /**
     * {@inheritdoc}
     */
    public function supports(array $data = [])
    {
        //check for the entry column "location" in the results sub-array of $data
        return isset($data['results']) && array_search('location', array_keys($data['results']), true);
    }
    // ...
}

Of course here it's a pretty simple example of delete One entry, the processing could be more more complicated.

Register your version changes class in the configuration

    # Array of version changes that breaks backward compatibility
    # The array should be `desc` ordered.
    # The newest version should be the first and the oldest the last one
    versions:
        # version 0.9.0
        - { version_number: "0.9.0", changes_class: "Your\Bundle\ApiChanges\ApiChanges090"}

Here you are, no more configuration is required.
