What versioning strategies does this skill support?

The skill provides implementation patterns for URI-based (recommended), header-based, and query parameter strategies, allowing for flexibility based on your project requirements.

Can I use different DTOs for different API versions?

Yes, this skill includes specific patterns for mapping separate Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) to different versions of the same entity to handle breaking schema changes cleanly.

How does this skill help with API deprecation?

It provides code snippets for adding 'Sunset' and 'Deprecation' headers to responses, as well as marking operations as deprecated in OpenAPI/Swagger documentation.

Does it include testing support for multiple versions?

Yes, it provides standardized test cases using the Symfony API test client to ensure that both legacy and current versions return the correct data formats.

API Development

Implements professional API versioning strategies and deprecation patterns within the Symfony API Platform framework.

About

This skill empowers developers to manage API lifecycles effectively by implementing robust versioning strategies in Symfony API Platform. It provides domain-specific guidance on URI, header, and DTO-based versioning, allowing you to introduce breaking changes while maintaining backward compatibility. From configuring version-specific serialization groups to implementing Sunset headers and migration-focused testing, this skill ensures your API remains maintainable and consumer-friendly as it evolves.

Key Features

Granular serialization group control per API version
Automated deprecation notices and Sunset header management
Version-specific DTO (Data Transfer Object) patterns
URI-based and header-based versioning implementations
21 GitHub stars
Standardized testing patterns for multi-version validation

Use Cases

Introducing breaking schema changes while maintaining legacy support for existing mobile apps
Implementing a scheduled API retirement plan using standard Sunset and Deprecation HTTP headers
Migrating complex data structures from simple primitives to rich objects using versioned DTOs
