Practical APIs with eZ Publish / eZ Platform
summary
Workshop builds a high‑level domain API on top of eZ Publish / eZ Platform: it implements a PHP IPA entity and brewery value objects, a service that loads eZ content and returns those entities, and an extended eZ Platform REST visitor with MIME‑type handling, caching headers (Varnish friendly) and image‑variation URLs. It also solves rich text embeds for alternate outputs (AMP) by adding a Rich Text reducer renderer and a custom matcher for representation‑specific templates. The result works but adds visitor complexity and a small learning curve.
