JSON API

1. # Register Resources
2. # Post Types
3. # Taxonomies
4. # Custom Resources

TypeRocket comes with a JSON API that can be used to create, update, and destroy resources. You can access this API using the following URI scheme:

/tr_json_api/v1/{resource_id}/{item_id}

Also, the Form object has quick access to the JSON API via the useJson() method.

tr_form('book', 'create')->useJson();

The JSON API passes through the Kernel middleware for enhanced security. Modifications made to the Kernel will impact the JSON API.

If you encouter issues keep in mind the TypeRocket JSON API requires strict adherence to the controller action naming scheme: showRest, create, update, and destroy.

#Register Resources

By default, TypeRocket registers its custom post types and taxonomies and the default post and page post types to the JSON API automatically. However, if you have custom post types or taxonomies registered outside of TypeRocket and you want to use the REST API you register those resources.

To register a post type need to do so using Registry::addPostTypeResource() or Registry::addTaxonomyResource().

#Post Types

To register a post type use the Registry::addPostTypeResource() method.

Registry::addPostTypeResource('book', [
        'book', // singular
        'books', // plural
        '\App\Models\Book', // Model class
        '\App\Controllers\BookController', // Controller class
]);

#Taxonomies

To register a taxonomy use the Registry::addTaxonomyResource() method.

Registry::addTaxonomyResource('publisher', [
        'publisher', // singular
        'publishers', // plural
        '\App\Models\Publisher', // Model class
        '\App\Controllers\PublisherController', // Controller class
]);

#Custom Resources

If you want to access your custom resource using the TypeRocket JSON API register is using the Registry::addCustomResource() method.

Registry::addCustomResource('test', [
        'test', // singular
        'tests', // plural
        '\App\Models\Test', // Model class
        '\App\Controllers\TestController', // Controller class
]);
