rewrite POST method on rest api yii2 - rest

Question

I must rewrite post request on rest yii2.
Every time i've post request on url v1/availability
I want to call actionCreate for manage request.
This is my main.php
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
[
'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
'controller' => ['v1/availability'],
'pluralize' => true,
'extraPatterns' => [
'POST v1/availability' => 'v1/availability/create'
]
],
'OPTIONS v1/user/login' => 'v1/user/login',
'POST v1/user/login' => 'v1/user/login',
'POST v2/user/login' => 'v2/user/login',
'OPTIONS v2/user/login' => 'v2/user/login',
],
],
In the v1/controllers/AvailabilityController.php
i've
public function actions()
{
$actions = parent::actions();
unset($actions['view']);
return array_merge(
$actions,
[
'index' => [
'class' => 'yii\rest\IndexAction',
'modelClass' => $this->modelClass,
'checkAccess' => [$this, 'checkAccess'],
'prepareDataProvider' => [$this, 'index']
],
]
);
}
public function actionCreate(){
throw new \yii\web\HttpException(200, 'IT WORKS!', 200);
}
Any idea?

Answer 1

add url rule outside like below.
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
[
'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
'controller' => ['v1/availability']
],
'POST v1/availability' => 'v1/availability/create',
'OPTIONS v1/user/login' => 'v1/user/login',
'POST v1/user/login' => 'v1/user/login',
'POST v2/user/login' => 'v2/user/login',
'OPTIONS v2/user/login' => 'v2/user/login',
],
],
And here you need understand rules of Yii. if you add one rule like below.
['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => 'user'],
this open many urls for clients.
[
'PUT,PATCH users/<id>' => 'user/update',
'DELETE users/<id>' => 'user/delete',
'GET,HEAD users/<id>' => 'user/view',
'POST users' => 'user/create',
'GET,HEAD users' => 'user/index',
'users/<id>' => 'user/options',
'users' => 'user/options',
]
above all urls will open for clients.

So...
there are 2 way to override post.
First #Irfan Ali method
This method permit to declare single call in main.php and work with single function in controller.
Second method is
in main.php declare general call to availability
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'enableStrictParsing' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
[
'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
'controller' => ['v1/availability'],
'pluralize' => true,
],
],
],
for intercept post method you must override in the controller
public function createAction($id){
throw new \yii\web\HttpException(200, 'You receive post or put', 200);
}
and in this function you must intercept if call is post you do anything.
I love first method!
