REST API, is CI for me? |
Just came across CodeIgniter this morning and I am intrigued by it, I am wondering if I could use it to "improve" upon my manual coding of php "REST" functions like the following?
PHP Code: <?php I am calling it in a mobile app using ajax: Code: function addToCart($menuID, $price, $clientID) From my initial understanding, CI seems to be a "complete" package where I could create my "frontend" and "backend", is that correct? Could I not use it for "backend" purposes only? Like exposing a "Web Service" or "REST" API that I could call either in mobile or a "web" application? TIA
Yes, you don't need to have a front-end. It could just be an API. I would suggest that you have a go with CodeIgniter 4 RC4, as it provides a nice way of building RESTful routes.

Thank you guys, I need to wrap my head on this, looks like there is a learning curve involved as of now. Are there any downloadable sample projects out there?
