PHP typed client DTOs for .NET APIs
Covering the new first class end-to-end typed support for calling .NET APIs with PHP
This episode discusses the addition of PHP as an eleventh supported language for the "Add ServiceStack Reference" feature. This feature allows developers to generate native PHP Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) for accessing ServiceStack APIs, providing a typed API experience for PHP developers.
It then highlights the benefits of using typed DTOs for PHP applications, including the use of promoted constructors and annotations for improved code discoverability and scalability.
It also mentions the availability of a PHP ServiceStack plugin for PhpStorm, which simplifies the development experience and then concludes by emphasizing the use of the JsonServiceClient library, which enables a smooth and consistent typed API development experience for PHP developers.
