I want to integrate apigility into zend framework 3 mvc aplication based on zendframework/ZendSkeletonApplication which use Doctrine as was shown in olegkrivtsov’s book. Why should I use zfcampus/zf-apigility-doctrine for this? Why I can’t just to use doctrine as was shown in the book? I have installed zfcampus/zf-apigility-doctrine into apigility but I don’t understand how to use it, besides I don’t see any changes within admin panel located at \_\_http://0.0.0.0:8080/apigility/ui#/ . Also, I was trying to read a book \_\_http://book.apiskeletons.com/en/latest/ but it doesn’t help me because of leak of a tutorial and examples of applications.

Did somebody use zfcampus/zf-apigility-doctrine ? Can you give me some hints?

I wrote the book at [http://book.apiskeletons.com](http://book.apiskeletons.com) but without reading it I don’t know how I can help you. Though the biggest benefit I get from using Doctrine 2 in an application is Skipper [https://skipper18.com](https://skipper18.com)

Thank you for your reply! I have read a half of your book but I don’t understand how to use your library zfcampus/zf-apigility-doctrine within apigility. It would be great to see a working example or tutorial with source code. That documentation in the book doesn’t help me to understand how to use module and where is doctrine within admin ui after installation of zfcampus/zf-apigility-doctrine. I understand better when I see working example with source code. Documentation doesn’t help to put together all snippets of codes. There are tutorials for that purpose. Is zfcampus/zf-apigility-doctrine some kind of zfcampus/statuslib-example but with doctrine? It would be great to have tutorial like this [https://apigility.org/documentation/intro/first-rest-service](https://apigility.org/documentation/intro/first-rest-service) but with zfcampus/zf-apigility-doctrine .

At API Skeletons I sell API Skeletons. I have a skeleton application for Doctrine in Apigility. Perhaps that’s what you’re looking for?

If you’d like to sponsor more documentation instead that’s fine. Please get in touch: [contact@apiskeletons.com](mailto:contact@apiskeletons.com)
