The current 1.1 roadmap includes: - Doctrine-Connected services (zf-apigility-doctrine already exists, but a contributor is working on integration with the admin UI) - DB Autodiscovery (essentially point at a database, and this finds all tables, let's you choose which to expose, and does validations based on the column types -- DB-Connected on steroids, essentially) - HTTP Caching - Mongo-Connected (but only if we can do autodiscovery for it as well) In terms of modules, Apigility is itself created from modules, and any new features we create will be done as modules. The goal is to make it possible to re-use the modules within ZF2 applications. I'm hoping we have very few Apigility-specific modules, TBH, but rather general-purpose modules that we expose in Apigility, but which can also be mixed into existing ZF2 applications to provide features. Undoubtedly, there will be some modules that target functionality specific to the modules that make up Apigility -- e.g., to provide alternative authentication or authorization. However, even there, they are building on modules, and could be picked up in a general ZF2 application. So... same ecosystem. :) > On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 5:46 PM, Matthew Weier O'Phinney <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> On Mon, Jul 28, 2014 at 9:25 AM, Brian Gallagher >> <[email protected]> wrote: >> > I'm starting a new project which will be API centric.
