REQUIREMENTS

This library requires the following:

PHP 7.4+
CodeIgniter 4+
agungsugiarto/codeigniter4-cors
myth/auth

INSTALLATION

Run Composer in your Codeigniter project:

composer require meksiabdou/ci4-restful

CONFIGURATION

Config CORS agungsugiarto/codeigniter4-cors

To allow CORS for all your routes, first register CorsFilter.php filter at the top of the $aliases property of App/Config/Filter.php class:

public $aliases = [
    'cors' => \Fluent\Cors\Filters\CorsFilter::class,
    // ...
];

Restrict routes based on their URI pattern by editing app/Config/Filters.php and adding them to the $filters array,

public filters = [
    // ...
    'cors' => ['after' => ['api/*']],
];

Config Public Token

To access public routes generate token and add $token_app to app\Config\App.php

class App extends BaseConfig {

	public $token_app = ['2ve7Wq9P2QLnzQMlN2uVnBfb10xvOY0NQTuQ7Q'];

   //...

Create a controller to extend `CI4Restful\Helpers\RestServer`,

class Store extends RestServer {}
