README

Yii 1.1 module, drop in and configure to automagically expose resources (CActiveRecord models) through a json:api 1.0 compatible web service.

Thanks yin for being an amazing library and providing the example this module is heavily based on.

Thanks Máté Kocsis for the help and merging of the pull requests.

Supported functions

• GET /{type}/{id}
• GET /{type}/{id}/relationships/{relationship}
• GET /{type}/{id}/{relationship}
• PATCH /{type}/{id}
• POST /{type}
• DELETE /{type}/{id}

Usage

Simply configure the module and you have a fully functional HATEOAS web service for your models.

I like to believe configuration is self-explanatory, the only thing you should watch out for is that you need to configure a type (even with an active methods array) for each exposed relationship type:

• Fix PATCH {"relationship": {"data":null}}
• GET /{resource} paginated
• GET ?include & eager loading for included relationships
• GET ?filter
• Review error codes & messages
• Controller filter to validate requests (see yin-middlewares)
• UUID generator for exposed models (using a behavior)
• Allow use customized of customized repositories, transformers and hydrators
