[TYPO3-dev] Register/User Login via REST

[Fabien Udriot]

Hello,

I would go with [EXT:routing](http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/routing) + a custom Controllers of yours. The extension allows to map whatever route (URL) to a Controller according to http methods (GET, POST, ...) , the basics of a REST API! Besides, you would need your own controller such as FrontendUserApiController and define the logic there. I had the occasion to implement something like that for another use case:

* The [routing](https://github.com/visol/ext-easyvote_smartvote/blob/master/Configuration/GlobalRoutes.yaml).
* The [API controller](https://github.com/visol/ext-easyvote_smartvote/blob/master/Classes/Controller/CandidateApiController.php).

Regards,

Fabien
