Help with RESTful Resource Routes - castle - 03-16-2022

Hi,

Reading REST Resource Naming Guide item 2.4. Never use CRUD function names in URIs, I noticed that the example on the CI4 documentation doesn't follow that. Did I understand correctly? Am I missing something?

Thanks.

$routes->resource('photos'); from documentation does that, what your link to REST Guide says it should do (use HTTP request methods)
But with codeigniter you can also easy do eg. deletion with uri segements, like $routes->post('photos/( Confused

egment)/delete' - it depends on the application, personally I don't think its completly wrong this way.

But the CI documentation has a controller route "photos/( Confused

egment)/edit". That doesn't follow the Restful guide, does it?

You're correct.

Strictly speaking,

PHP Code:
photos/(:segment)/edit 

is not needed in REST API.
