无法使用 Symfony 5 安装 FOSRestBundle

Question

I was trying to install FOSRestBundle on Symfony 5 using composer but got the following error message:

friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle 2.7.1 requires symfony/config ^3.4|^4.3

Is it possible to manually install FOSRestBundle with Symfony 5; as it seems it will not be updated and instead API Platform will be maintained in future?

I don't want to use API Platform as it has lot of stuff not required by my project.

Answer 1

FOSRestBundle development has not been abandoned.

But Symfony 5 support is not expected until version 3 .

You can check the progress here . As you can see there is no due date yet.

So you either continue using FOSRestBundle with Symfony 4.4 (which is perfectly acceptable, 4.4 it's a long term release and it's not going anywhere), or you need Symfony 5; you either look for alternatives to FOSRestBundle or run a pre-release version (with the risks that it entail).

Thanks GrenierJ, an issue is already open and as per xabbuh , the master now serves for the development of FOSRestBundle 3.0. Its version constraints already allow Symfony 5 components. I tried to install the dev-master using composer require --dev friendsofsymfony/rest-bundle:dev-master and it successfully installed. Its under development so all of its features may not be compatible with Symfony 5.
