Add new selector in apigility
APIGility is a PHP library that provides a simple way to create RESTful APIs. To add a new selector in APIGility, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Create a new selector class
Create a new PHP class that will serve as the selector. This class should extend the Zend\Apigility\Rest\Selector
class. For example, let's create a new selector called MySelector
:
namespace MyNamespace;
use Zend\Apigility\Rest\Selector;
class MySelector extends Selector
{
// Your selector logic goes here
}
Step 2: Define the selector's methods
In your selector class, you need to define the methods that will be used to handle the API requests. These methods should be named after the HTTP methods you want to support (e.g., get
, post
, put
, delete
).
For example, let's add a get
method to our MySelector
class:
public function get($params)
{
// Your get logic goes here
return ['message' => 'Hello, World!'];
}
Step 3: Register the selector with APIGility
To use your new selector with APIGility, you need to register it with the APIGility module. You can do this by creating a new configuration file (e.g., module.config.php
) and adding the following code:
return [
'apigility' => [
'selectors' => [
'my_selector' => MyNamespace\MySelector::class,
],
],
];
Step 4: Configure the API route
Finally, you need to configure the API route to use your new selector. You can do this by adding a new route to your module.config.php
file:
return [
'router' => [
'routes' => [
'my-api' => [
'type' => 'literal',
'options' => [
'route' => '/my-api',
'defaults' => [
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'MyNamespace',
'controller' => 'MyController',
'action' => 'index',
],
],
'may_terminate' => true,
'child_routes' => [
'my_selector' => [
'type' => 'literal',
'options' => [
'route' => '/my-selector',
'defaults' => [
'__NAMESPACE__' => 'MyNamespace',
'controller' => 'MyController',
'action' => 'mySelector',
],
],
],
],
],
],
],
];
In this example, we've created a new route called my-api
that maps to the MyController
controller and the index
action. We've also added a child route called my_selector
that maps to the mySelector
action and uses our new MySelector
class.
That's it! With these steps, you should now have a new selector in APIGility that you can use to handle API requests.
