TYPO3 - Frontend API by LABOR.digital

# TYPO3 - Frontend API

This package provides your TYPO3 installation with extended API capabilities. Create a REST-ful api was never that easy in TYPO3. It provides you with an extended router based on the PHP league's route package (opens new window), it works in tandem with the already existing PSR-7 middleware stack but provides you with the option to register your own middleware specially for API requests. The bundle also has build in support for converting ext-base domain objects into json-api (opens new window) resources using fractal (opens new window).

The main focus while designing the extension was to provide all capabilities to create a Single Page App using TYPO3. For that reason the package comes with endpoints for menus, translations, page content rendering and automatic generation of content element data representations.

Another key-aspect of this package is the easy handling of content elements. You can either use ext-base plugins/content elements, but you can also use powerful template-less content elements that utilize the Better API syntax for TCA definition and registration.

WARNING

This package is freshly released to the public so I'm working on a nice documentation. However, this will take a few weeks until I have something substantial. Bear with me, please.
