All data I found on the Internet is about CakePHP V2. In V3 I can't configure MongoDB with cakePHP 3. I dont know how to configure datasource for mongoDB.
My Default Databse Configuration is as follows:
'Datasources' => [
'default' => [
'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql',
'persistent' => false,
'host' => 'localhost',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'database' => 'users',
'encoding' => 'utf8',
'timezone' => 'UTC',
'cacheMetadata' => true,
'quoteIdentifiers' => false,
]
]
This is not a solution but will give you an insight of cakePHP 3 with mongoDB.
There is no support for mongodb datasource for cakePHP 3 as for now.The most you can do is create a new one Like ichikaway did for cakePHP 2. You can use that if you want Link Here. Fingers are crossed that someone will take an initiative and built one. You can go through the presentation of ichikaway at cakefest and get an insight for the cakePHP 2 plugin for mongodb Video Link
Edit-1: New plugin developed by lewestopher please feel free to checkout the url for further information cakephp-monga. I haven't used it yet but it's worth a try, Nice initiation.
Edit-2: Just an update that another datasource is also available by tiaguinho mongodb-cakephp3

I have implemented API based on advanced template following Yii Rest API documentation. And I want to call API methods from backend controllers. Is it possible to do?
Thanks
So, I finally found a solution.
My Yii2 application has advanced template. I've created api module.
So app has 3 endpoints
api
backend
frontend
And I wanted to call api methods from backend or frontend, It's not important.
So the main goal here that api is the module. You can read about this here
In backend/config/main.php
'modules' => [
'api' => [
'basePath' => '#api/modules/v1',
'class' => 'api\modules\v1\Module'
]
],
And then for example
in backend/UserController/indexAction
$res = Yii::$app->runAction('api/user/index');
That how it works. Hope it will help to someone.
A way could be this .
Assuming that you rest controller is in frontend
In your backend application config you could create an additional 'UrlManager' component name eg: urlManagerForRest
return [
'components' => [
'urlManager' => [
// here is your backend URL rules
],
'urlManagerForRest' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\urlManager',
'baseUrl' => 'http://your_path/frontend/web/index.php',
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
],
],
];
Then you should invoke following to compose URL:
Yii::$app->urlManagerFrontEnd->createUrl();
you can use postman for testing your api.
first download your version of postman then choose your method. then determine your inputs and your url. and finally press send button.
your url might be like
http://yourdomain.com/backend/web/index.php?r=yourController/yourAction
that yourdomain.com is your domain and yourController are controller and yourAction are your action.
Suppose we do have an Apigility URL like localhost:8888/user.
But I do have two API's in a single Apigility project, ApiOne and ApiTwo.
Doing a GET request from localhost:8888/user always returns resources generated by ApiTwo. But when I want to get the same user resource rom ApiOne because it is from a different DB I can't retrieve it. I already tried to supply the Accept media type with the proper version (hoping it would help), to access ApiOne (e.g. Accept application/vnd.apione.v1+json)
I'm guessing based on your question that you've got ApiOne with a route to /user and ApiTwo with a route to /user?
The problem is that they are not different routes. ZF2 is going to use (I believe) the one that is defined last in the combined configuration file. If you want to be able to use both API resources, you'll need to have different routes somehow. This could be literally changing one of them to something like /user1.
You could also theoretically route to two different endpoints for entities if you provide constraints on the id that would make them differentiable. What I mean is you could have both routes like this:
/api/user[/:user_id]
/api/user[/:user_name]
As far as the ZF2 router is concerned, at this point, those routes are identical. The variable parts user_id and user_name could be the same thing.
However, you'd need something else that makes the routes different. Apigility (and ZF2) allow for constraints on the parts of the URL. So you could put a constraint on user_id of [0-9]+ and a constraint on user_name of [a-z]+. These would make the routes mutually exclusive for entities, but the collection version of the routes is still the same.
Constraints are added in the route under options like so:
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'your-api.rest.user' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/user[/:user_id]',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'YourApi\\V1\\Rest\\User\\Controller',
),
'constraints' => array(
**'user_id' => '[0-9]+'**,
),
),
),
'your-api.rest.username' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/user[/:user_name]',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'YourApi\\V1\\Rest\\Username\\Controller',
),
'constraints' => array(
**'user_name' => '[a-z]+'**,
),
),
),
),
),
)
In this example, if no user_id or user_name were provided, the Username resource should be called since it is defined last.
Overall though, my recommendation would be that you change the routes so that they are different. The accept header with version is essentially used for versioning, not routing to a different API resource.
I'm using cakePhp to create a Rest api (see http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/fr/development/rest.html) and I need to get nested resources. The documentation tells how to get let's say books implementing a URI /books.json. But does not tell how to get for example reviews for a given book. What I'm trying to make is somthing like this: /books/14/reviews.json that returns Review resources.
Can any one tell me hwo to make this?
See the Custom REST Routing section of the docs you've linked. In case the default routing doesn't work for you, you'll have to create your own custom routes that either replace or extend the default ones.
Your /books/14/reviews.json URL could for example be mapped to BooksController::reviews() likes this:
Router::connect(
'/books/:id/reviews',
array(
'[method]' => 'GET',
'controller' => 'books',
'action' => 'reviews'
),
array(
'id' => Router::ID . '|' . Router::UUID,
'pass' => array(
'id'
)
)
);
When placed before Router::mapResources() it should work fine together with the default routes.
I'm writing an app that makes a daily post as a user, and having benchmarked the PHP code that does this, it seems to take about two seconds per user. I'm dividing the work up in to chunks, and using multiple cron jobs to do each chunk. I'd like to scale to many thousands of users one day, but this kind of work load is just too much. It would take my server literally all day to post to each user one at a time using this method.
How do people normally do this? I've seen other apps that do it. Is there some way of sending all these posts off at once using just one API call? Using individual API calls per user is crazy slow.
Thanks.
On one hand, this is entirely dependent on the API.
However, you could use a multi-threaded or pseudo-parallel approach to this, such that your program sends, say, 100 HTTP POST requests at a time, rather than generating one request after another in series.
Since you're using PHP, multi-threading is out (I think) but this question is very similar to others. For example, see how these folks recommend curl_multi.
You can use batch query to achieve what you need.
The code for batch query is mentioned below. You can refer more about Facebook batch query at : http://25labs.com/tutorial-post-to-multiple-facebook-wall-or-timeline-in-one-go-using-graph-api-batch-request/
$body = array(
'message' => $_POST['message'],
'link' => $_POST['link'],
'picture' => $_POST['picture'],
'name' => $_POST['name'],
'caption' => $_POST['caption'],
'description' => $_POST['description'],
);
$batchPost[] = array(
'method' => 'POST',
'relative_url' => "/{ID1}/feed",
'body' => http_build_query($body) );
$batchPost[] = array(
'method' => 'POST',
'relative_url' => "/{ID2}/feed",
'body' => http_build_query($body) );
$batchPost[] = array(
'method' => 'POST',
'relative_url' => "/{ID3}/feed",
'body' => http_build_query($body) );
$multiPostResponse = $facebook->api('?batch='.urlencode(json_encode($batchPost)), 'POST');
hey all I'm using the Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable Session handler and I was curious if anyone knows how to best add a custom field to the table that it stores the session data in? for example I'd like to be able to log the username of the person in the sessions table.
Anyone know if that's possible with the Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable?
here's my set up code now..
$config = array(
'name' => 'session',
'primary' => 'id',
'modifiedColumn' => 'modified',
'dataColumn' => 'data',
'lifetimeColumn' => 'lifetime'
);
Zend_Session::setSaveHandler(new Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable($config));
Zend_Session::start();
i don' think it's possible, i have been searching for the same thing, but if you look at http://tig12.net/downloads/apidocs/zf/Session/SaveHandler/Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable.class.html i don't see anything one could use,
i guess the way to do it, is to build another table, with session id as one column and any other columns you would want
