HOW to use PUT with ResourceController? - blaasvaer - 12-15-2020
OK, this has been driving me absolutely nuts for a day now.
Can someone please explain to me HOW I could send a PUT request and have it accept an ID and DATA in json-format?
WHAT would the route look like?
WHAT would the update method look like – WHAT parameters does it need in order to JUST WORK with the "built in" update method on the Model (as is claimed in the docs)?
HOW would I SEND the data to the Model in the right format ($request->getRawInput() is of no use at all)?
I simply cannot find this information in a clear an understandable way in the docs, or online for that matter.
Code:
ROUTE: $routes->put('api/(:segment )/(:any)', 'Api::update/$1/$2');Controller method update:
Code:
public function update ($resource = null, $id = null)
{
$data = $this->request->getRawInput();
$this->model->update($id, $data);

I just looked at the IncomingRequest class. The variable $this->body should contain the value returned by 'php://input':
PHP Code:
public function __construct($config, URI $uri = null, $body = 'php://input', UserAgent $userAgent)
{
// Get our body from php://input
if ($body === 'php://input')
{
$body = file_get_contents('php://input');
}
$this->body = ! empty($body) ? $body : null;
In my opinion, getRawInput() should return $this->body without modification, but instead it return the data using parse_str(), which I think is a little weird:
PHP Code:
/**
* A convenience method that grabs the raw input stream(send method in PUT, PATCH, DELETE) and decodes
* the String into an array.
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function getRawInput()
{
parse_str($this->body, $output);
return $output;
}
In your case, getJSON() should return what you want:
PHP Code:
/**
* A convenience method that grabs the raw input stream and decodes
* the JSON into an array.
*
* If $assoc == true, then all objects in the response will be converted
* to associative arrays.
*
* @param boolean $assoc Whether to return objects as associative arrays
* @param integer $depth How many levels deep to decode
* @param integer $options Bitmask of options
*
* @see http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function getJSON(bool $assoc = false, int $depth = 512, int $options = 0)
{
return json_decode($this->body, $assoc, $depth, $options);
}
...if not, try accessing directly $this->request->body
