[TYPO3-dev] REST api

[g4-lisz at tonarchiv.ch]

Hi Albert,

I wrote this for a client, so it's quite specific and shering is not a
good idea...

But it's really easy to do. The whole trickery is done by realURL:
My REST path looks like this: [hostname]/API/[controller]/[action]/[uid]
e.g. [hostname]/API/shoes/get/34

or [hostname]/API/shoes/list

The action controller returns the JSON encoded obejct(s).

But in my case it is "read only", i.e. i didn't implement any PUT
functionallity.

For the page "API" you should disable any headers in TS. My setup looks
like this:
json = PAGE
json {
  config {
    disableAllHeaderCode = 1
    disablePrefixComment = 1
    additionalHeaders = Content-type:application/json
    xhtml_cleaning = 0
    admPanel = 0
    debug = 0
    no_cache = 1
  }
  10 = TEXT
  10 < styles.content.get
}

tt_content.stdWrap.innerWrap >

Like this you need to put the plugin as a content element.
If you don't need any cOject functionallity, you could also write the
API as e eID module - but then, realURL would not work. So you had to
write your own URL parsing.

My realurl.conf looks like this:
    'fixedPostVars' => array(
        'api' => array (
            array(
                'GETvar' => 'tx_stdapp_api[identifier]',
            ),
            array(
                'GETvar' => 'tx_stdapp_api[type]',
            ),
            array(
                'GETvar' => 'L',
                'valueMap' => array(
                    'de' => '0',
                    'it' => '2',
                    'fr' => '1',
                    'en' => '4',
                ),
                'optional' => TRUE,
            ),
            array(
                 'GETvar' => 'tx_stdapp_api[uid]',
                 'optional' => TRUE,
            ),
        ),

(I use only one domain object, which has the properties identifier and
type. So it's actually [hostname]/API/[indetifier]/[type]/[uid]. Without
uid, it returns the whole list.
It should be easy to extend this using different controllers and actions.)

Hope that helps,
Till
