A Complete REST API Tutorial - Philos - 09-07-2019
Hello, is there a fully completed example project or tutorial?
I'm trying to build REST API test in CI4.
I've tried the steps described here : https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/incoming/restful.html
But unfortunately when I try to reach controller, it's returning as an empty XML file. What do I missing?
I was expecting a JSON file that contains data.
I've never worked with APIs before. So I would be happy if you could explain it simply.
I've used to following code: (I'm connected to database and I can see the raw data with "print_r")
Controller
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Controllers;
use CodeIgniter\RESTful\ResourceController;
class Categories extends ResourceController {
public function __construct() {
$this->modelName = 'App\Models\Categories';
}
public function index() {
$this->respond($this->model->findAll(),200);
}
}
Model
PHP Code:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use CodeIgniter\Model;
class Categories extends Model {
protected $table = 'categories';
}
Routes
PHP Code:
$routes->resource('categories');

No full tutorial yet, sorry.
It's on my to-do list, though ... https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/issues/2186

You need set JSON response in your request. From the browser it will always be XML.
You can JSON only leave in app/Config/Format.php, comment line 23 and 39:
PHP Code:
'application/xml', // machine-readable XML
'application/xml' => \CodeIgniter\Format\XMLFormatter::class

Hello, you can use the cli-create plugin.
Using this plugin you will be able to create rest-ful api controller and any files in the command line.
After my testing, in the Codeigniter current version v4.0.2 will be able to automatically create a functioning APIs.
Click-me to visit github.
