Rest API for CakePHP 5.x

Configuration

• Some configuration can be done using env variables (search for env( in the project to find usages).

• Some configuration when working with plugins can be done from the main configuration (config/app.php file).

  • Using the key Swagger is optional, but can be helpful to customize some directories (search for read('Swagger for details)
  • As sibling from the main App configuration use the namespace of the plugin followed by the word Plugin.

For example, if your plugin namespace is called Example, create the following config file:

return [
    'debug' => false,
    'App' => [ ... ],
    'Swagger' => [ ... ]
    'ExamplePlugin' => [
        'tablePrefix' => 'example_',
        'routePath' => '/api/v1',
    ],
];

The following configuration can be used:

• tablePrefix: (optional) in case you want to add a prefix for you database tables, e.g. myplugin_users. Can be empty string.
• routePath: Definition for the beginning of the path for all routes in the plugin

Swagger

In order to make swagger UI with openapi description available, a new controller SwaggerJsonController must be created, with the corresponding route definition. The method getContent can be overwritten in this controller in order to add customization for the main spec info (title, description, version, etc.). Swagger generation can be configured as described in the Configuration section above.

In any controller test the function $this->skipNextRequestInSwagger() can be used to do not add the next request.
