README

Convert the application into a powerful API. Install the Gato GraphQL package to convert it into a GraphQL server, and the REST API package to enable adding REST endpoints.

Install

Installing a fully-working API

Follow the instructions under Bootstrap a PoP API for WordPress (even though CMS-agnostic, only the WordPress adapters have been presently implemented).

Installing this library

Via Composer

composer require pop-api/api

Enable pretty permalinks

Apache

Add the following code in the .htaccess file to enable API endpoint /api/:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Rewrite from /some-url/api/ to /some-url/?scheme=api
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/api/?$ /$1/?scheme=api [L,P,QSA]

# Rewrite from api/ to /?scheme=api
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^api/?$ /?scheme=api [L,P,QSA]
</IfModule>

To add pretty API endpoints for the extensions (GraphQL => /api/graphql/), REST => /api/rest/), add the following code to file .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# a. Resource endpoints
# 1 and 2. GraphQL or REST: Rewrite from /some-url/api/(graphql|rest)/ to /some-url/?scheme=api&datastructure=(graphql|rest)
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/api/(graphql|rest)/?$ /$1/?scheme=api&datastructure=$2 [L,P,QSA]

# b. Homepage single endpoint (root)
# 1 and 2. GraphQL or REST: Rewrite from api/(graphql|rest)/ to /?scheme=api&datastructure=(graphql|rest)
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^api/(graphql|rest)/?$ /?scheme=api&datastructure=$1 [L,P,QSA]
</IfModule>

Nginx

Add the following code in the Nginx configuration's server entry, to enable API endpoint /api/. Please notice that the resolver below is the one for Docker; replace this value for your environment.

location ~ ^(.*)/api/?$ {
    # Resolver for Docker. Change to your own
    resolver 127.0.0.11 [::1];
    # If adding $args and it's empty, it does a redirect from /api/ to ?scheme=api.
    # Then, add $args only if not empty
    set $redirect_uri "$scheme://$server_name$1/?scheme=api";
    if ($args) {
        set $redirect_uri "$scheme://$server_name$1/?$args&scheme=api";
    }
    proxy_pass $redirect_uri;
}

To add pretty API endpoints for the extensions (GraphQL => /api/graphql/), REST => /api/rest/), add the following code:

location ~ ^(.*)/api/(rest|graphql)/?$ {
    # Resolver for Docker. Change to your own
    resolver 127.0.0.11 [::1];
    set $redirect_uri "$scheme://$server_name$1/?scheme=api&datastructure=$2";
    if ($args) {
        set $redirect_uri "$scheme://$server_name$1/?$args&scheme=api&datastructure=$2";
    }
    proxy_pass $redirect_uri;
}
