In order to make the API work, you have to : ## **1** REST API
1. Edit the configuration file according to your needs (cf. [configuration](#iii-configuration))
2. Implement the Authentication System to manage permissions (cf. [AuthSystem](#1-permissions--authsystem))
3. Implement the code of the methods according to the configuration
In order for the API to catch **URI**, you must use a router. It will allow the API to get the requested URI.
> ## **2** Php requirements *Important*: You must use `$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']` because it will (instead of other methods) keep some useful format.
> ### 1) include the `autoloader` file
```php ```php
<?php require_once '../autoloader.php'; <?php
```
> ### 2) load useful classes require_once '../autoloader.php';
```php
// for API use
use \api\core\Request;
use \api\core\Response;
// for error handling
use \error\core\Err;
```
/* (1) Create the request */
$request = \api\core\Loader::remote($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
/* (2) Process the response (execute your implementation) */
> ## **3** From php internally
> ### 1) create a request
```php
// creates a request @path with params
$request = new \api\core\Request('some/path', [
'param1' => 10,
'param2' => 'somevalue'
], 'POST'); // wanted HTTP method to emulate
```
> ### 2) catch possible errors (optional)
```php
// if error is not Err::Success
if( $request->error->get() !== Err::Success )
'do something';
```
> ### 3) execute the request and catch response
```php
$response = $request->dispatch();
```
> ### 4) catch response errors (optional)
```php
// if error is not Err::Success
if( $response->error->get() !== Err::Success )
'do something';
```
> ### 5) catch response output
```php
// fetch all outputs
$output = $response->getAll();
// fetch specific output
$specific = $response->get('someOutputName');
```
> ## **4** From HTTP requests
In order to setup an automatic bound from HTTP requests to API directly, you must use a **router**.
> ### 1) Format url so it must begin with `/@path`
```php
// let's suppose the url is `/api/@path`
$url = '/api/some/path/1/2/';
$uri = substr($url, strlen('/api'));
// $uri = /some/path/1/2/
```
> ### 2) give the url to the HTTP manager
```php
// create request from HTTP data
$request = \api\core\Loader::remote($uri);
// execute request and catch response
// note that request errors will propagate through response
$response = $request->dispatch(); $response = $request->dispatch();
// return response as HTTP body /* (3) Serialize the response */
die( $response->serialize() ); echo $response->serialize();
``` ```
*Note:* `Request` or `Response` errors will propagate to *serialize()* method into the JSON output.
## **2** Internal use
You can also use the API from within your code (not from URI).
```php
<?php
require_once '../autoloader.php';
Then can handle various kinds of URL : /* (1) Emulate API data */
$emu_uri = '/some/target/uri';
$emu_params = [ 'p1' => 'param1', 'URL0' => 'uri param 0' ];
$emu_method = 'DELETE';
- request and parameters can be in URL (separated by `/`)
- request and parameters can be in `multipart/form-data` or `x-www-form-urlencoded`
- request and parameters of both URL, post data, and form-data are caught
### The following examples can work : /* (2) Create the request */
> 1. `http://www.host.com/@path/{param3}` $request = new \api\core\Request($emu_uri, $emu_params, $emu_method);
```json
"post-data": {
"param1": "{value1}",
"param2": "{value2}"
}
```
> 2. `http://www.host.com/@path/{param1}/{param2}` /* (3) Process the response (execute your implementation) */
```json $response = $request->dispatch();
"post-data": {}
```
> 3. `http://www.host.com/@path/1,` /* (4) [OPTIONAL] Check for errors */
```json if( $response->error->get() != \error\core\Err::Success )
"post-data": { die('encountered error: '.$response->error->explicit());
"param1": "{value1}",
"param2": "{value2}" /* (5) Fetch response data */
} $all_response_fields = $response->getAll();
$specific_response_field = $response->get('specific_field_name');
``` ```

----
The documentation consists of a _chain_ of urls each one containing no or several HTTP method specifications.
## **1** - configuration format
The configuration is a set of `uri` paths that can contain up to 4 method types: **POST**, **DELETE**, **PUT**, **GET** or `uri` subpaths.
For instance the 4 methods directly inside `uri1` will be triggered when the calling URI is `/uri1`, the ones directly inside `uri2` will be triggered when calling `/uri1/uri2` and so on..
```json ```json
{ {
"uri1" : {
"GET": method.definition,
"POST": method.definition,
"PUT": method.definition,
"DELETE": method.definition,
"{module_name}": { "uri2": {
"GET": method.definition,
"POST": method.definition,
"PUT": method.definition,
"DELETE": method.definition,
"{http_method}::{method_name}": { "uri3": {}
"description": "{method_description}",
"permissions": ["{method_perm}"],
"options": { "download": "{is_downloadable}" },
"parameters": {
"{name_param}": { "description": "{desc_param}", "type": "{type_param}", "optional": "{is_optional}" }
},
"output": {
"{name_output}": { "description": "{desc_output}", "type": "{type_output}" }
} }
} }
}
} }
``` ```
|variable|description|exemple| **Note**: It is possible to trigger the *root uri* (`/`), so you can set methods directly at the root of the JSON file.
|-------|-------|------|
|`{module_name}`|alphanumeric module name|"publications"|
|`{http_method}`|uppercase HTTP method|"POST"|
|`{method_name}`|alphanumeric method name|"article"|
|`{method_description}`|textual description|"Returns a specific article"|
|`{method_perm}`|permission array|`["poster", "admin", "user"]`|
|`{is_downloadable}`|If you want this method to return a file|`true`, `false`|
|`{name_param}`|Your param's name _*_|"id_article"|
|`{desc_param}`|Your param's description|"Wanted article's id"|
|`{type_param}`|Your param's type (cf. Checker)|"Wanted article's type"|
|`{is_optional}`|Whether to make your param _required_|`true`, `false`|
|`{name_output}`|Your output's name|"article"|
|`{desc_output}`|Your output's description|"Article content"|
_*_ If you want URL (GET) parameters, the {param_name} must be `URL_0`, `URL_1` and so on according to the index wanted in the URL. ## **2** - method.definition
> `api/module/method/URL_0/URL_1/URL_2/` ```json
{
"des": method.description,
"per": method.permissions,
"par": method.parameters,
"out": method.output_format,
"opt": method.options
}
```
## **2.1** - method.description
The *description* field must be a **string** containing the human-readable description of what the method does.
## **2.2** - method.permissions
The *permissions* field must be an array. You can manage **OR** and **AND** permission combinations.
- **OR** is applied between each **0-depth** array
- **AND** is applied between each **1-depth** array
For instance the following permission `[ ["a","b"], ["c"] ]` means you need the permissions **a** and **b** combined or only the permission **c**.
## **2.3** - method.parameters
The *parameters* field must be an object containing each required or optional parameter needed for the implementation.
```json
"parameter.name": {
"des": parameter.description,
"typ": parameter.checker_type,
"opt": parameter.is_optional,
"ren": parameter.rename,
"def": parameter.default_value,
}
```
#### parameter.name
The *name* field must be a **string** containing variable name that will be asked for the caller.
Note that you can set any string for **body parameters**, but **GET parameters** must be named `URL#`, where `#` is the index within the URI, beginning with 0.
#### parameter.description
The *description* field must be a **string** containing the human-readable description of what the parameter is or must be.
#### parameter.checker_type
The *checker_type* field must be a **string** corresponding to a `\api\core\Checker` type that will be checked before calling the implementation.
#### parameter.is_optional
The *is_optional* field must be a **boolean** set to `true` if the parameter can be ommited. By default, the field is set to `false` so each parameter is required.
#### parameter.rename
The *rename* field must be a **string** corresponding to the *variable name* given to the implementation. It is useful for **GET parameters** because they need to be called `URL#`, where `#` is the position in the URI.
If ommited, by default, `parameter.name` will be used.
#### parameter.default_value
The *default_value* field must be of any type according to the *checker_type* field, it will be used only for **optional** parameters when ommited by the caller
By default, each optional parameter will exist and will be set to `null` to the implementation.
## **2.4** - method.output_format
The *output_format* field must have the same format as `method.parameters` but will only be used to generate a documentation or to tell other developers what the method returns if no error occurs.
## **2.5** - method.options
The *options* field must be an **object** containing the available options.
The only option available for now is:
```json
"download": true
```
Your implementation must return 2 fields:
- `body` a string containing the file body
- `headers` an array containing as an associative array file headers
If the API is called with HTTP directly, it will not print the **json** response (only on error), but will instead directly return the created file.
*AJAX:* If called with ajax, you must give the header `HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH` set to `XMLHttpRequest`. In that case only, it will return a normal JSON response with the field `link` containing the link to call for downloading the created file. **You must take care of deleting not used files** - there is no such mechanism.

You must register your custom authentification system before each api call with : You must register your custom authentification system before each api call.
For instance, lets suppose your implementation is called `myAuthSystem`.
```php ```php
// let's suppose your auth system class is "AuthSystemDefault" \api\core\Request::setAuthSystem(new myAuthSystem);
\api\core\Request::setAuthSystem(new AuthSystemDefault);
``` ```
**Note**: By default the API will try to find `\api\core\AuthSystemDefault`.
