New in CakePHP 4 4, and API serializers
summary
Hands-on demo of CakePHP 4.4: generated a new app with SQLite, created users and calendar_items via migrations (added product_id and nullable all_day), showed automatic test migrations so PHPUnit runs Phinx migrations instead of static fixture schemas, built a calendar service wired through the DI container, implemented a custom JSON serializer registry with per-entity prepare/serialize/parse methods and incremental includes, wrote controller tests that exercise GET/POST flows, and hooked error reporting to Sentry — integration and tests run successfully after fixes.
