REST route for Nette Framework

Route automatically maps CRUD to Presenters and actions in the defined module. And creates parameters which are accessible in Presenter.

• format
• id (autodetected)
• associations (an array with associations)
• data (raw data from the request)
• query (an array of items from the query string)

Format detection:

Variable $format is detected from HTTP header Accept. If header is not present Route try detect format from the URL (.../foo.json). If no format is in the URL Route use a default format json.

Installation:

The best way to install Nette-RestRoute is using Composer:

$ composer require adamstipak/nette-rest-route

Usage:

use AdamStipak\RestRoute;

// $router is an instance of Nette\Application\Routers\RouteList  

// No parameters needed. Presenter name will be generated.
$router[] = new RestRoute;

// With module.
$router[] = new RestRoute('Api');

// With module and xml as a default format.
$router[] = new RestRoute('Api', 'xml');

First parameter is a name of the module where the route will sends an Request. URL prefix will be generated. See examples. ####Examples:

NULL      => /<generated presenter name>
'Api'     => /api/<generated presenter name>
'My:Api'  => /my/api/<generated presenter name>
...

Second parameter is default format. By default the default format is json. RestRoute support only 2 formats:

• json (default)
• xml

Examples

Read all:

URL: /api/users → \ApiModule\UsersPresenter::actionReadAll
HTTP HEADER Accept: application/json
Method: GET
Request body: Empty
Params:

format = json
associations = array(0)
data = ""
query = array(0)

Flag readAll was dropped and Route automatically generate action readAll if no Resource ID was not found in the URL.

Methods PUT, PATCH and DELETE can be overriden via:

HTTP header X-HTTP-Method-Override

Example:

X-HTTP-Method-Override: <PUT|PATCH|DELETE>

Query param __method

Example:

?__method=<PUT|PATCH|DELETE>

##Development

RestRoute is developed in Docker container via docker-compose command.

Example:

$ docker-compose run --rm default install  # install deps via composer
$ docker-compose run --rm default  # runs tests in container

Attach to container:

$ docker-compose run --rm default bash # runs bash in container and attach tty
