You Can Handle APIs: Introducing API Handler
Speaker: Tim Lytle
You Can Handle APIs: Introducing API Handler

Level: Intermediate (some prior knowledge necessary)
Length: Standard (50 minutes)

Description:
This session is a 'no slides, just code' introduction to a newly open sourced pattern that has changed the way we think about API development. No, it's not yet another framework. It's a PSR-15 compatible middleware implementation paired with a set of intuitive interfaces designed to streamline API construction. For legacy applications, the interfaces allow easy integration into your existing codebase, eliminating the usual configuration headaches of API frameworks. And if you're on the path of crafting something new, imagine building a core stack that's feather-light, powered by nothing more than PSR-7 and PSR-15 implementations. In this hands-on session you'll see firsthand how to implement this pattern in various scenarios, from breathing new life into old systems to laying the foundations of modern, lightweight applications.
