Basic RESTful API with Symfony 2 + FOSRestBundle (JSON format only) + FOSUserBundle + FOSOauthServerBundle

The API we are creating in this gist will follow these rules :

• The API only returns JSON responses
• All API routes require authentication
• Authentication is handled via OAuth2 with password Grant Type only (no need for Authorization pages and such).
• API versioning is managed via a subdomain (e.g. v1.api.example.com)

The API will be written in PHP with the Symfony 2 framework. The following SF2 bundles are used :

Auto-deploying built products to gh-pages with GitHub Actions

This is a set up for projects which want to check in only their source files, but have their gh-pages branch automatically updated with some compiled output every time they push.

A file below this one contains the steps for doing this with Travis CI. However, these days I recommend GitHub Actions, for the following reasons:

• It is much easier and requires less steps, because you are already authenticated with GitHub, so you don't need to share secret keys across services like you do when coordinate Travis CI and GitHub.
• It is free, with no quotas.
• Anecdotally, builds are much faster with GitHub Actions than with Travis CI, especially in terms of time spent waiting for a builder.

It's still a work in progress...

Intro

As William Durand was recently explaining in his SOS, he "didn't see any other interesting blog post about REST with Symfony recently unfortunately". After spending some long hours to implement an API strongly secured with oAuth, I thought it was time for me to purpose my simple explanation of how to do it.

Ok, you know the bundles

You might have already seen some good explanation of how to easily create a REST API with Symfony2. There are famous really good bundles a.k.a. :
