Rest Bundle for Pimcore

Please note that this bundle is currently in Version 0.8 and not ready for production yet as some interfaces might change without notice. Version 1.0 is planned to be released on 30th of April 2018.

Many modern Javascript Fronted Frameworks like Ember.js and Angular heavily depend on APIs to retrieve the data from a server. Ember.js for example supports the response to be in JsonAPI or Rest-Json by default. Both of these standards are supported by a variety of adapters available to most Javascript Frontend Frameworks.

This Bundle makes building such APIs based on Pimcore DataObjects extremely easy and automates the process of transforming a data object into a given API Standard like JsonAPI and Rest-Json.

Functional Overview

• Transforms data objects into JsonAPI or Rest-Json format.
• Build a rest API just by using a simple trait and a route.
• Configurable computed properties to hide business logic from the frontend.
• Extendable Normalizer / Denormalizer architecture. New data type? Just build a normalizer for it.
• Extendable filters for the API.
• Extendable context architecture. Building a custom API format is pretty easy.
