For the sake of simplicity, in this example we used public properties (except for the ID, see below). API Platform (as well
as Symfony and Doctrine) also supports accessor methods (getters/setters), use them if you want to.
We used a private property and a getter for the ID to enforce the fact that it is read only (we will let the DBMS generate it). API Platform also has first-grade support for UUIDs. [You should
probably use them instead of auto-incremented IDs](https://www.clever-cloud.com/blog/engineering/2015/05/20/why-auto-increment-is-a-terrible-idea/).
