Guides & Recipes

This section gathers advanced use-cases, integrations with other tools (like Symfony or API Platform), and solutions to common problems.

Framework Integrations

• API Platform & DTOs Learn how to use Jane-generated models as Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) for your API Platform resources, effectively separating your Doctrine entities from your public API.

• Communicating between two Symfony applications A practical guide on generating a client in a Symfony application "A" to consume the API exposed by a Symfony application "B" (useful for microservices or inter-app architecture).

Advanced Features

• Data Validation How to integrate symfony/validator to automatically validate data within your generated objects (adding constraints, validating before serialization).

• Handling Nullable Values Understand the important distinction Jane makes between a missing value (key missing in JSON) and a null value, and how to handle these cases in your PHP code.

Client & HTTP Configuration

• Using a Custom HTTP Client By default, Jane uses PSR-18 auto-discovery. This guide explains how to explicitly inject your own client (e.g., Symfony HttpClient or Guzzle) to handle timeouts, middlewares, or specific logging.

• Elasticsearch Configuration specifics for generating a robust client dedicated to Elasticsearch APIs.
