RESTful API management plugin for OctoberCMS.

This plugin allows you to create RESTful controllers.

In a nutshell, it adds the following scaffold command.

php artisan create:restcontroller Acme.Plugin ControllerName

However, it does more than just that.

If you prefer not to use the http folder and want the APIs to be mixed in the same controller generated by the create:controller command you may do so. In order to use the REST behavior you should add it to the $implement property of the controller class. Also, the $restConfig class property should be defined and its value should refer to the YAML file used for configuring the behavior options.

namespace Acme\Blog\Controllers;

class Categories extends \Backend\Classes\Controller
{
    public $implement = ['Mohsin.Rest.Behaviors.RestController'];
}

You can create as many RESTful controllers as you like. However, these won't work unless you register them with OctoberCMS. You can do this by defining a registerNodes method in your Plugin.php like this:

/**
 * Registers API nodes exposed by this plugin.
 *
 * @return array
 */
public function registerNodes()
{
    return [
        'account/signin' => [
            'controller' => 'Mohsin\User\Http\Account@signin',
            'action'     => 'store'
        ],
        'books' => [
            'controller' => 'Acme\Books',
            'only'       => ['index', 'create', 'show']
        ]
    ];
}
