SymBlaze HTTP bundle provides a set of tools to build RESTful APIs with Symfony. The following documentation will guide you through the usage of the bundle.
The bundle provides a base controller class to build API controllers. The base controller class
is located at \Symblaze\Bundle\Http\Controller\ApiController. It provides all methods provided by the Symfony's base
controller class and adds some additional methods to help you build your API controllers.
The bundle provides two types of HTTP requests, both of which are based on the Symfony's HTTP request. The first type provides methods to retrieve data from the request in a more simple way. The second type provides an automatic validation of the request data. You can read more about the requests in the HTTP requests documentation.
All exceptions thrown by the bundle are based on \Symblaze\Bundle\Http\Exception\HttpException which extends the
Symfony's Http exception. This makes it easy for you handle all exceptions if required. In Addition,
an \Symblaze\Bundle\Http\Exception\RenderableExceptionInterface interface allows you to render create Http responses
from your exceptions.
The bundle provides two steps of validation. The first step is the validation of the request data that is done by the auto validation of the request. The second step or the second type of validation is the validation of the entities.
