SDRestHookBundle

This bundle allows you to convert any controller, to become an api endpoint.

The purpose of this bundle is to allow re-use of controllers, and simplify creating API end-points.

Simple Example

<?php

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/hello/{name}")
     * @Route("/api/hello/{name}",name="_hello_api",defaults={"_format"="json"},requirements={"_method"="GET"}))
     * @Template()
     */
    public function indexAction($name)
    {
        return array('name' => $name);
    }
}

/hello/{name}

This route will render the template Default::index.html.twig

/api/hello/{name}

This route will output json by default, with no template required

Installation

composer require "sacheen/rest-hook-bundle dev-master"

<?php
// in AppKernel::registerBundles()
$bundles = array(
    // ...
        new SD\RestHookBundle\SDRestHookBundle(),
        new \JMS\SerializerBundle\JMSSerializerBundle()
    // ...
);

Config

#app/config.yml
sd_rest_hook:
    formats: [json,xml]
    route_patterns: [/api/i,/ajax/i]
    json_callback: json_callback
    request_listener_priority: 100

The route_patterns allow for an array of regular expression, if a route matches the pattern, the kernel will intercept the response, and render it as the relevant end point format

The json_callback option allows to specify the string, for a json_callback

The request_listener_priority sets the priority for the intercepting the request

JMSSerializerBundle

The Config allows for formats allowed by JMSSerializerBundle You can learn more about the bundle in its documentation.

Request Interceptor

This feature allows the ability to send json data to the server, and it will convert the json to an http query string that your controller can understand

Exceptions

There is a RestfulException Class, this allows you to set a data [array] variable that will then translate in the content of the response

Final

All controllers must return an array(), to render correctly

Examples

    //sample routes for get/put/post/delete
    * @Route("/api/user",name="_user_get_api",defaults={"_format"="json"},requirements={"_method"="GET"}))
    * @Route("/api/user",name="_user_put_api",defaults={"_format"="json"},requirements={"_method"="PUT"}))
    * @Route("/api/user",name="_user_post_api",defaults={"_format"="json"},requirements={"_method"="POST"}))
    * @Route("/api/user",name="_user_delete_api",defaults={"_format"="json"},requirements={"_method"="DELETE"}))
