In CakePHP 3 the rest routing doesn't call classes in subnamespace. For example the route "posts/2/comments/10" call App\Controller\CommentsController. I want it to call App\Controller\Posts\CommentsController because comments are not always for posts...
Here is my solution :
$routes->resources('Posts');
Router::scope('/posts/:post_id/',['post_id'=>'[0-9]+','prefix'=>'posts'], function($routes){
$routes->resources('Comments');
});
It works fine but i don't know if it is a good practice.
Thank you
If you want to group controllers by namespace use Router::prefix() or $routes->prefix() instead of $routes->scope()

I am trying to know how to add query parameters to routes in Lumen
this is an example of a route I created
$app->get('/product/{apikey}','ProductController#getProduct');
This works when I use
http://api.lumenbased.com/product/10920918
but I would like to use it like this
http://api.lumenbased.com/product/?apikey=10920918
I tried this
$app->get('/product/?apikey={apikey}','ProductController#getProduct');
But this gives me MethodNotAllowedHttpException
I would like to know how to write routes with query parameters in Lumen ?
Just do:
$app->get('/product','ProductController#getProduct');
and use:
$request->get('apikey')
in the ProductController#getProduct function.
(That said, validating an API key is better done via middleware...)
Hi I'm building REST api for an app, I have a requirement in URL
such that url should be something like this e.g
www.abc.com/api/param1/value1/param2/value2/param3/value3.... and so on
There are cases
case: The number of params are not limited it can change frequent
if today it is something like this
www.abc.com/api/param1/value1/param2/value2/param3/value3
tomorrow it can be like this
www.abc.com/api/param1/value1/param2/value2/param3/value3/param4/value4
Is there a configuration where once you configure the url pattern
and every thing go smooth
and in conrtoller params should contain this kind of key-value pair
{ "param1" => "value1","param2" => "value2","param3" => "value3"...and so on }
any suggestion !! how to achieve this ??
If your params are not fixed you can use wildcard in routing
for e.g
get 'items/list/*specs', controller: 'items', action: 'list'
def list
specs = params[:specs] # e.g, "base/books/fiction/dickens" #split it and place in a hash
end
Rails routing provides a way to specify fully custom routes with static and dynamic segments as explained in the Rails Routing Guide.
Your requirement should be achievable with
get '/api/param1/:param1/param2/:param2/...', to: 'controller#action'
You can use route scoping for this particular kind of problem . In other way it is nested routes
More details : http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#nested-resources
This is a example,
GET /magazines/:magazine_id/ads/:id/edit ads#edit
return an HTML form for editing an ad belonging to a specific magazine
I think this would be helpful for you.
I'm using CakePHP and Backbone.js as a frontend so I want to get CakePHP's REST routing working, but I don't really want to use the default REST routes.
For example, I want to be able to POST to http://example.com/cards/search.json and get a list of results in JSON, however I am getting a 200 status code back, and a blank response which makes me think the routing is not working properly.
I have tested my code using the default REST routes by chagning the search() method of my controller to add(), but I would prefer to be able to properly setup and use custom REST routes.
Router::connect(
"/cards/search",
array(
"[method]" => "POST",
"controller" => "cards",
"action" => "search"
)
);
Router::mapResources('cards');
Router::parseExtensions('json');
The code from my routes.php is above and I'm not entirely sure why it isn't working...either because the documentation on this is a little light, or I just don't understand routing very well.
You can get the json output in this url:
http://localhost:{port}/{api* name in config # app/core}/{controller name}/{things after api_ in function name}/{input parameters}.json
read more in here
You may have to alter the routing to change the name
api
to anything in
Configure::write('Routing.prefixes', array('master', 'api'));
in core.php in app/config
Feel free for a comment and also share your core.php in config for more explanation.
I'm trying to create a custom http method in RESTful API. I was reading the documentation and it is said that you can do it buy adding a simple action in controller and then for example conifg your route with child routes with action => action_name but in the code I have spotted addHttpMethodHandler() method in Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractRestfulController.php so in controller construct method I have added:
$add = function () {
return new JsonModel(array(
'id' => 2222,
));
};
$this->addHttpMethodHandler('someAction', $add);
var_dump($this->customHttpMethodsMap);
With the var_dump I can see that this new function is added but I just wonder how can I call it or maybe I'm missing the point.
Regards,
I actually wrote a blog post on this because I had so much trouble too.
The problem is that in addition to calling addHttpMethodHandler within the abstract restful controller, you also need to make sure that the Zend Request class knows that your http method exists.
Here is a link to a better explanation: http://richardbrock1.wordpress.com/2013/03/23/custom-http-methods-in-zf2/
I am a beginner and I am creating some forms to be posted into MySQL using Zend, and I am in the process of debugging but I don't really know how to debug anything using Zend. I want to submit the form and see if my custom forms are concatenating the data properly before it goes into MySQL, so I want to catch the post data to see a few things. How can I do this?
The Default route for zend framework application looks like the following
http://www.name.tld/$controller/$action/$param1/$value1/.../$paramX/$valueX
So all $_GET-Parameters simply get contenated onto the url in the above manner /param/value
Let's say you are within IndexController and indexAction() in here you call a form. Now there's possible two things happening:
You do not define a Form-Action, then you will send the form back to IndexController:indexAction()
You define a Form action via $form->setAction('/index/process') in that case you would end up at IndexController:processAction()
The way to access the Params is already defined above. Whereas $this->_getParam() equals $this->getRequest()->getParam() and $this->_getAllParams() equals $this->getRequest->getParams()
The right way yo check data of Zend Stuff is using Zend_Debug as #vascowhite has pointed out. If you want to see the final Query-String (in case you're manually building queries), then you can simply put in the insert variable into Zend_Debug::dump()
you can use $this->_getAllParams();.
For example: var_dump($this->_getAllParams()); die; will output all the parameters ZF received and halt the execution of the script. To be used in your receiving Action.
Also, $this->_getParam("param name"); will get a specific parameter from the request.
The easiest way to check variables in Zend Framework is to use Zend_Debug::dump($variable); so you can do this:-
Zend_Debug::dump($_POST);
Zend framework is built on the top of the PHP . so you can use var_dump($_POST) to check the post variables.
ZF has provided its own functions to get all the post variables.. Zend_Debug::dump($this->getRequest()->getPost())
or specifically for one variable.. you can use Zend_Debug::dump($this->getRequest()->getPost($key))
You can check post data by using zend
$request->isPost()
and for retrieving post data
$request->getPost()
For example
if ($request->isPost()) {
$postData = $request->getPost();
Zend_Debug::dump($postData );
}
