I need to create a RESTful web api using only CodeIgniter. I can not use any third-party plugins or libraries to do this. I have seen that most people are using https://github.com/chriskacerguis/codeigniter-restserver. Please guide me on writing a REST api only using CodeIgniter. Helpful links and steps are highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
If your are using version 3, you can do this
create a controller users.php
class Users extends CI_Controller {
/**
* @route http://proyect/users
* @verb GET
*/
public function get()
{
echo "Get";
}
/**
* @route http://proyect/users
* @verb POST
*/
public function store()
{
echo "Add";
}
/**
* @route http://proyect/users
* @verb PUT
*/
public function update()
{
echo "Update";
}
/**
* @route http://proyect/users
* @verb DELETE
*/
public function delete()
{
echo "Delete";
}
}
edit (add) in your application/config/route.php
$route["users"]["get"] = "users/get";
$route["users"]["post"] = "users/store";
$route["users"]["update"] = "users/update";
$route["users"]["delete"] = "users/delete";
$route['products/([a-zA-Z]+)/edit/(\d+)'] = function ($product_type, $id)
{
return 'catalog/product_edit/' . strtolower($product_type) . '/' . $id;
};
