I'm developing a REST API. I found out a few extensions but the client need is drastically different from what these extensions provide.
I need a separate action for each of the request type in each controller, so I can have the full control to myself.
I'm currently using the following URLmanager rules;
'urlManager'=>array(
'urlFormat'=>'path',
'rules'=>array(
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>'=>'<controller>/<action>',
),
),
Which arranges my URL this way;
http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php/<module>/<controller>/<action>
This can easily service a request like this;
http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php/api/user/register
The problem I'm facing is how to service these type of requests.
http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php/api/user/15/profile
Is there a way I can get 15 (id/pk) and "profile" as two parameters?
Thanks in advance.
You have to define it in urlmanager like so for e.g.:
'rules' => array(
'api/user/<id:\d+>/<mode:\w+>' => 'api/user/someaction',
),
You can then go to http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php/api/user/15/profile and the call goes to api module, user controller, action someaction and passes the $_GET variables "id" and "mode" to it.
actionSomeaction($id, $mode)
{
var_dump($id, $mode);
}
EDIT: to make it dynamic use this:
'rules' => array(
'<module:\w+>/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>/<mode:\w+>' => '<module>/<controller>/<action>',
),
However I would not make everything dynamic since you usually only want to pass the params id
and mode
to user/someaction.
