Starship / RestfullYii
Makes quickly adding a RESTFul API to your Yii project easy. RestfullYii provides full HTTP verb support (GET, PUT, POST, DELETE) for your resources, as well as the ability to offset, limit, sort, filter, etc… . You will also have the ability to read and manipulate related data with ease.
RestfullYii has been lovingly rebuilt from the metal and is now 100% test covered! The new event based architecture allows for clean and unlimited customization.
How it works
RestfullYii adds a new set of RESTFul routes to your standard routes, but prepends '/api' .
So if you apply RestfullYii to the 'WorkController' you will get the following new routes by default.
[GET] http://yoursite.com/api/work (returns all works)
[GET] http://yoursite.com/api/work/1 (returns work with PK=1)
[POST] http://yoursite.com/api/work (create new work)
[PUT] http://yoursite.com/api/work/1 (update work with PK=1)
[DELETE] http://yoursite.com/api/work/1 (delete work with PK=1)
Requirements
- PHP 5.4.0 (or later)*
- YiiFramework 1.1.14 (or later)
- PHPUnit 3.7 (or later) to run tests.
For older versions of PHP (< 5.4) checkout v1.15 or cccssw's amazing 5.3 port: https://github.com/cccssw/RESTFullYii
Installation
Installing Manually
-
Download and place the 'starship' directory in your Yii extension directory.
-
In config/main.php you will need to add the RestfullYii alias. This allows for flexability in where you place the extension.
'aliases' => array(
.. .
'RestfullYii' =>realpath(__DIR__ . '/../extensions/starship/RestfullYii'),
.. .
),
- Include ext.starship.RestfullYii.config.routes in your main config (see below) or copy the routes and paste them in your components->urlManager->rules in same config.
'components' => array(
'urlManager' => array(
'urlFormat' => 'path',
'rules' => require(
dirname(__FILE__).'/../extensions/starship/RestfullYii/config/routes.php'
),
),
)
Composer
Installing With{
"require": {
"starship/restfullyii": "dev-master"
}
}
- In config/main.php you will need to add the RestfullYii alias. This allows for flexability in where you place the extension.
'aliases' => array(
.. .
//Path to your Composer vendor dir plus starship/restfullyii path
'RestfullYii' =>realpath(__DIR__ . '/../../../vendor/starship/restfullyii/starship/RestfullYii'),
.. .
),
- Include ext.starship.RestfullYii.config.routes in your main config (see below) or copy the routes and paste them in your components->urlManager->rules in same config.
'components' => array(
'urlManager' => array(
'urlFormat' => 'path',
'rules' => require(
dirname(__FILE__).'/../../../vendor/starship/restfullyii/starship/RestfullYii/config/routes.php
),
),
)
##Controller Setup Adding a set of RESTFul actions to a controller.
- Add the ERestFilter to your controllers filter method.
public function filters()
{
return array(
'accessControl', // perform access control for CRUD operations
array(
'RestfullYii.filters.ERestFilter +
REST.GET, REST.PUT, REST.POST, REST.DELETE, REST.OPTIONS'
),
);
}
- Add the ERestActionProvider to your controllers actions method.
public function actions()
{
return array(
'REST.'=>'RestfullYii.actions.ERestActionProvider',
);
}
- If you are using the accessControl filter you need to make sure that access is allowed on all RESTFul routes.
public function accessRules()
{
return array(
array('allow', 'actions'=>array('REST.GET', 'REST.PUT', 'REST.POST', 'REST.DELETE', 'REST.OPTIONS'),
'users'=>array('*'),
),
array('deny', // deny all users
'users'=>array('*'),
),
);
}
Making Requests
To understand how to make RestfullYii API requests its best to look at a few examples. Code examples will be shown first in JavaScript* as an AJAX user* and then using CURL.
* JS examples use jQuery
* Default validation for an AJAX user is !Yii::app()->user->isGuest so the user must be logged in for this type of request.
###GET Requests

}
}
Sub-Resources
When working with 'many to many' relations you now have the ability to treat them as sub-resources.
Consider:
URL Format: http://mysite.com/api/<controller>/<id>/<many_many_relation>/<many_many_relation_id>
Getting player 3 who is on team 1
or simply checking whether player 3 is on that team (200 vs. 404)
GET /api/team/1/players/3
getting player 3 who is also on team 3
GET /api/team/3/players/3
Adding player 3 also to team 2
PUT /api/team/2/players/3
Getting all teams of player 3
GET /api/player/3/teams
Remove player 3 from team 1 (Injury)
DELETE /api/team/1/players/3
Team 1 found a replacement, who is not registered in league yet
POST /api/player
From payload you get back the id, now place it officially to team 1
PUT /api/team/1/players/44
Customization & Configuration
RestfullYii's default behaviors can be easily customized though the built-in event system. Almost all aspects of RestFullYii's request / response handling trigger events. Changing RestfullYii's behaviors is as simple as registering the appropriate event handlers. Event handlers can be registered both globally (in the main config) and locally (at the controller level).
To understand how to do this, lets create a scenario that requires some customization and see how we might accomplish it.
Lets say we have two controllers in our API, WorkController and CategoryController. We would like our API to function in the following ways:
- The API should be accessible to JavaScript via AJAX.
- The API should not be accessible to any external client.
- Only registered users should be allowed to view Work and Category resources.
- Only users with the permission REST-UPDATE should be allowed to update works.
- Only users with the permission REST-CREATE should be allowed to create works.
- Only users with the permission REST-DELETE should be allowed to delete works.
- Create, update and delete on categories should be disallowed for all API users.
Now that we know how we would like our API to function, lets take a look at the list above and determine which features can be implemented globally. Since 1, 2 and 3 effect both of our controllers, we can effect these globally by registering a few callbacks in our config/main.php.
To accomplish 1 & 3 we don't have to do anything as this is RestfullYii's default behavior, so that leaves 2. By default RestfullYii does allow access to external clients which is not what we want. Lets change it!
In the /protected/config/main.php params section we will add the following:
$config = array(
..,
'params'=>[
'RestfullYii' => [
'req.auth.user'=>function($application_id, $username, $password) {
return false;
},
]
]
);
This tells RestfullYii that when the event 'req.auth.user' is handled it should always return false. Returning false will deny access (true grants it). Similarly validating an AJAX user has it's own event 'req.auth.ajax.user' which (as mentioned earlier) allows access to registered users by default.
That takes care of our global config and we can now focus on features 4-7 while taking care not to break feature 3. Since features 4-6 involve the work controller and user permissions, we can accomplish all of those at the same time. Remember RestfullYii's default behavior is to allow all registered users complete API access and again this is not what we want. Lets change it!
We will now register an event handler locally in the WorkController; To do this we will need to add a special public method in the WorkController called 'restEvents'. Then once we have the 'restEvents' method we can use one other special method 'onRest' to register our event handler. We can call 'onRest' using '$this->onRest()'. 'onRest' takes two params the first is the event name and the second is a Callable that will actually handle the event. This Callable is bound to the controller so the $this context inside the Callable always refers to the current controller. This is true for event handlers registered both globally as well as locally.
Now we are ready modify the output of event handler 'req.auth.ajax.user', but this time instead of overriding the default behavior, we will use the post-filter feature to add our additional user validation. The event name of a post-filter event is always the main event name prefixed with 'post.filter.', thus in our case the event name is 'post.filter.req.auth.ajax.user'. The param(s) passed into a post-filter handler are always the value(s) returned from the main event. Take a look:
class WorkController extends Controller
{
.. .
public function restEvents()
{
$this->onRest('post.filter.req.auth.ajax.user', function($validation) {
if(!$validation) {
return false;
}
switch ($this->getAction()->getId()) {
case 'REST.POST':
return Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('REST-CREATE');
break;
case 'REST.PUT':
return Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('REST-UPDATE');
break;
case 'REST.DELETE':
return Yii::app()->user->checkAccess('REST-DELETE');
break;
default:
return false;
break;
}
});
}
.. .
}
Cool! That just leaves feature 7, disallowing create, update, delete on category. Again we will add this change locally, but this time to the CategoryController. Take a look:
class CategoryController extends Controller
{
.. .
public function restEvents()
{
$this->onRest('post.filter.req.auth.ajax.user', function($validation) {
if(!$validation) {
return false;
}
return ($this->getAction()->getId() == 'REST.GET');
});
}
.. .
}
We now have all features implemented!
Defining Custom Routes
Custom routes are very simple to define as all you really need to do is create an event handler for your route and http verb combination (event name = 'req.<verb>.<route_name>.render'). Lets take a look at some examples.
Here is the list of routes we would like to add to our api:
-
[GET] /api/category/active
-
[GET] /api/work/special/<param1>
-
[PUT] /api/work/special/<param1>/<param2>
-
[POST] /api/work/special/<param1>
-
[DELETE] /api/work/special/<param1>/<param2>
Custom Route 1
As you tell from the route the request will be handled by the Category controller. So that is where we will add our event handler.
class CategoryController extends Controller
{
.. .
public function restEvents()
{
$this->onRest('req.get.active.render', function() {
//Custom logic for this route.
//Should output results.
$this->emitRest('req.render.json', [
[
'type'=>'raw',
'data'=>['active'=>true]
]
]);
});
}
}
Custom Routes 2-5
These routes all involve the Work controller. So that is where we will add our event handlers.
class WorkController extends Controller
{
.. .
public function restEvents()
{
$this->onRest('req.get.special.render', function($param1) {
echo CJSON::encode(['param1'=>$param1]);
});
$this->onRest('req.put.special.render', function($data, $param1, $param2) {
//$data is the data sent in the PUT
echo CJSON::encode(['data'=>$data, $param1, $param2]);
});
$this->onRest('req.post.special.render', function($data, $param1) {
//$data is the data sent in the POST
echo CJSON::encode(['data'=>$data, 'param1'=>$param1, 'param2'=>$param2]);
});
$this->onRest('req.delete.special.render', function($param1, $param2) {
echo CJSON::encode(['param1'=>$param1, 'param2'=>$param2]);
});
}
##Overriding & Adding Default Model attributes We can change the attributes outputted by our model(s) in any given request. We can do this using the "model.YOUR_MODEL_NAME_HERE.override.attributes" event. Lets say we have a model named "Work" and we would like to add the non-AR property "url" to our JSON output every time that model is referenced.
$this->onRest('model.work.override.attributes', function($model) {
return array_merge($model->attributes, ['url'=>"http://www.mysite.com/media/{$model->id}.jpg"]);
});
- You could also use this same event to remove or override default AR attributes
##Post Filtering Render Events It is possible to post filter the output of the "req.[get,put,post,delete].[resource, resources].render" events. This will allow you to completely change the output as you see fit.
$this->onRest('post.filter.req.get.resources.render', function($json) {
$j = CJSON::decode($json);
$j['data'] = array_map(function($work_data){
$work = Work::model();
$work->setAttributes($work_data);
$work_data['url'] = $work->url;
return $work_data;
}, $j['data'])
return $j;
});
##CORS Requests (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing)
Making cross origin requests from Javascript is now possible with RESTFullYii! RESTFullYii has several CORS specific events that help making CORS requests easy.
Lets suppose you have the following setup; An API server with the domain http://rest-api-server.back and a client application at the domain http://my-js-client-app.front. Obviously you would like to make requests from your front end client application (my-js-client-app.front) to your backend API server (rest-api-server.back).
#####1) The first thing you will need to do is let RESTFullYii know that my-js-client-app.front is allowed to make requests to a given resource or resources. Lets say we want to allow our app to make requests to the 'Artist' resource only. So lets add an event hook in our ArtistController
class ArtistController extends Controller
{
[...]
public function restEvents()
{
$this->onRest('req.cors.access.control.allow.origin', function() {
return ['http://my-js-client-app.front']; //List of sites allowed to make CORS requests
});
}
}
If you would like to allow my-js-client-app.front to access other resource you simply repeat this process in the appropriate controller(s) or apply it globally in your main config params (see above examples).
#####2) We need to determine is the types of requests we would like to allow. By default RESTFullYii will allow GET & POST but for our application we would like PUT & DELETE as well.
class ArtistController extends Controller
{
[...]
public function restEvents()
{
$this->onRest('req.cors.access.control.allow.origin', function() {
return ['http://my-js-client-app.front']; //List of sites allowed to make CORS requests
});
$this->onRest('req.cors.access.control.allow.methods', function() {
return ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE']; //List of allowed http methods (verbs)
});
}
}
This is the minimum configuration but there are more available; See (req.cors.access.control.allow.headers, req.cors.access.control.max.age, req.auth.cors)
#####3) Now that our server is set up to allow CORS requests we are ready to send requests from our client @http://my-js-client-app.front
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://rest-api-server.back/api/artist",
headers: {
'X_REST_CORS': 'Yes',
},
success: function( response ){
console.log(response);
},
error: function( error ){
console.log( "ERROR:", error );
}
});
######*Notice the headers object in the jQuery request above. It is required that you send X_REST_CORS: 'Yes'
####That's it! You are making sweet CORS!

req.delete.subresource.render | Yes | Yes | Called when a DELETE request on a sub-resource is to be rendered |
req.render.json | Yes | No | NOT CALLED INTERNALLY. The event exists to allow users the ability to easily render arbitrary JSON. |
req.exception | Yes | No | Error handler called when an Exception is thrown |
Model Events | |||
model.instance | Yes | Yes | Called when an instance of the model representing the resource(s) is requested. By default this is your controller class name minus the 'Controller' |
model.attach.behaviors | Yes | Yes | Attaches helper behaviors to model. Called on all requests (Other then custom) to add some magic to your models. |
model.with.relations | Yes | Yes | Called when trying to determine which relations to include in a requests render. The default is all relations not starting with an underscore. You should most likely customize this per resource controller as some resources may have relations that return large number of records |
model.lazy.load.relations | Yes | Yes | Called when determining if relations should be lazy or eager loaded. The default is to lazy load. In most cases this is sufficient. Under certain conditions eager loading my be more appropriate |
model.limit | Yes | Yes | Called when applying a limit to the resources returned in a GET request. The default is 100 or the value of the _GET param 'limit' |
model.offset | Yes | Yes | Called when applying an offset to the records returned in a GET request. The default is 0 or the value of the _GET param 'offset' |
model.scenario | Yes | Yes | Called before a resource(s) is found. This is the scenario to apply to a resource pre-find. The default is 'restfullyii' or the value of the _GET param 'scenario'. At this point setting the scenario does very little, but is included here so that you may create custom functionality with little modification. |
model.filter | Yes | Yes | Called when attempting to apply a filter to apply to the records in a GET request. The default is 'NULL' or the value of the _GET param 'filter'. The format is JSON: '[{"property":"SOME_PROPERTY", "value":"SOME_VALUE", "operator": =""}]' |
model.sort | Yes | Yes | Called when attempting to sort records returned in a GET request. The default is 'NULL' or the value of the _GET param 'sort'. Rhe format is JSON:[{"property":"SOME_PROPERTY", "direction":"DESC"}] |
model.find | Yes | Yes | Called when attempting to find a single model |
model.find.all | Yes | Yes | Called when attempting to find a list of models |
model.count | Yes | Yes | Called when the count of model(s) is needed |
model.subresource.find | Yes | Yes | Called when attempting to find a subresource |
model.subresource.find.all | Yes | Yes | Called when attempting to find all subresources of a resource |
model.subresource.count | Yes | Yes | Called when the count of sub-resources is needed |
model.apply.post.data | Yes | Yes | Called on POST requests when attempting to apply posted data |
model.apply.put.data | Yes | Yes | Called on PUT requests when attempting to apply PUT data |
model.save | Yes | Yes | Called whenever a model resource is saved |
model.subresources.save | Yes | Yes | Called whenever a sub-resource is saved |
model.delete | Yes | Yes | Called whenever a model resource needs deleting |
model.subresource.delete | Yes | Yes | Called whenever a subresource needs deleting |
model.restricted.properties | Yes | Yes | Called when determining which properties if any should be considered restricted. The default is [] (no restricted properties) |
