A fully RESTful server implementation for CodeIgniter using one library, one config file and one controller.
- PHP 5.2+
- CodeIgniter 2.1.0 to 3.0-dev
Note: for 1.7.x support download v2.2 from Downloads tab
Coming soon. Take a look at application/controllers/api/example.php for hints until the default controller demo is built and ready.
I haven't got around to writing any documentation specifically for this project but you can read my NetTuts article which covers it's usage along with the REST Client lib.
NetTuts: Working with RESTful Services in CodeIgniter
- Added loads of PHPDoc comments.
- Response where method doesn't exist is now "HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed", not "HTTP 404 Not Found".
- Compatable with PHP 5.4.
- Added support for gzip compression.
- Fix the apache_request_header function with CGI.
- Fixed up correctly .foo extensions to work when get arguments provided.
- Allows method emulation via X-HTTP-Method-Override
- Support for Backbone.emulateHTTP improved.
- Combine both URI segment and GET params instead of using one or the other
- Separate each piece of the WWW-Authenticate header for digest requests with a comma.
- Added IP whitelist option.
- Instead of just seeing item, item, item, the singular version of the basenode will be used if possible. Example.
- Re-factored to use the Format library, which will soon be merged with CodeIgniter.
- Fixed Limit bug (limit of 5 would allow 6 requests).
- Added logging for invalid API key requests.
- Changed serialize to serialized.
- Changed all visibility 'private' to 'protected'.
- MIME's with character encodings on the end will now work.
- Fixed PUT arguments. Once again just sending a body query string works. Example
- Fixed up all .foo extensions to work when no get arguments provided, and moved .html to Format library.
- Updated key.php example to use config_item('rest_keys_table') instead of hardcoded 'keys' table name.
- Updated REST_Controller to use config_item('rest_limits_table') instead of hardcoded 'limits'.
- Added support for UTF-8 characters in XML.
- Added JSONP as a return type.
- Loaded the Security lib before use in case it is not loaded in the application.
- Emulate the Request method for MooTools support.
- Upgraded everything to use CodeIgniter Reactor 2.0.0.
- Added the ability to set or override the Auth type per controller / method.
- Adding ability to only accept AJAX requests.
- Upgraded to CodeIgniter 2.0 and stopped supporting CodeIgniter 1.7.2.
- After $this->response() is called the controller will stop processing.
- Added config options to set table names for keys, limits and logs.
- FALSE values were coming out as empty strings in xml or rawxml mode, now they will be 0/1.
- key => FALSE can now be used to override the keys_enabled option for a specific method, and level is now optional. If no level is set it will assume the method has a level of 0.
- Fixed issue where calls to ->get('foo') would error is foo was not set. Reported by Paul Barto.
If my REST Server has helped you out, or you'd like me to do some custom work on it, please sponsor me so I can keep working on this and other CodeIgniter projects for you all.
