Thanks for the great tutorial. My REST client for Firefox is returning the data from the database, but I need to initialize my data before I load app.js.
<script type='text/javascript' src='<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/scripts/js/jquery-1.7.1.min.js'><script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/scripts/js/underscore-min.js'></script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/scripts/js/backbone-min.js'></script>

<script>

var trucks = < I need to get the JSON string from ApiController via api/trucks >

</script>

<script type='text/javascript' src='<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/scripts/js/app.js'></script>

Any help is appreciated.

[mediawiz]

Sorry for responding to my own post, this works, but is there a better way?

<script>
var trucks = [];
$.ajax({
url: "/index.php/api/trucks",
dataType: "json",
method: "GET",
async: false,
success: function(response){
trucks = response;
}
});

</script>
<script type='text/javascript' src='<?php echo Yii::app()->request->baseUrl; ?>/scripts/js/app.js'></script>

In RESTClient, use the 'headers' functionality:
* menu 'Headers'
* 'Custom Header'
* 'Name' : X_ASCCPE_PASSWORD
* 'Value' : emo

And the same with USERNAME.

HTH,

What is the body you get back?
The user emo:emo exists in you User table?
You could put some traces in code (Yii::trace()) and activate logging (see http://www.yiiframew.../topics.logging)

JM.

[carpanta]

Well really I don't know, how to know that user login. I have to create it? or is already in somewhere?

In this web page you address me I didn't found the way to do it sorry.. and I have looking, and I have seen only for enable loggings in the /protected/main.php like this

'log'=>array(
  ...
  'class'=>'CLogRouter',
  'routes'=>array(
    'weblogging'=>array(
      'class'=>'CWebLogRoute',
      'enabled'=>true,
    ),
  ),
),

But I can't figure out how to create a user. I am totally newbie with Yii as you can see.

Thanks in andancce

The user comes from a table in the database. Until you setup this, try following: in the function _checkAuth() (in the protected/controllers/ApiController.php file), that should look like this:

private function _checkAuth() 
{ 
	// Check if we have the USERNAME and PASSWORD HTTP headers set? 
	if(!(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_'.self::APPLICATION_ID.'_USERNAME']) and isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_'.self::APPLICATION_ID.'_PASSWORD']))) { 
		// Error: Unauthorized 
		$this->_sendResponse(401); 
	} 
	$username = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_'.self::APPLICATION_ID.'_USERNAME']; 
	$password = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_'.self::APPLICATION_ID.'_PASSWORD']; 
	// Find the user 
	$user=User::model()->find('LOWER(username)=?',array(strtolower($username))); 
	if($user===null) { 
		// Error: Unauthorized 
		$this->_sendResponse(401, 'Error: User Name is invalid'); 
	} else if(!$user->validatePassword($password)) { 
		// Error: Unauthorized 
		$this->_sendResponse(401, 'Error: User Password is invalid'); 
	} 
} // }}}  

insert following line before the '// Find the user' line:

if ($username === "emo" && $password === "emo") return;

Oh nice, now it works Thanks Jan Marie. Anyway I'm wondering now, coz I have created a new model for my appto manage users with gii tool, and my doubt right now is whether I need add a new model to do that or is expected a own yii model for Users modifying something in it?

Thanks again.

Glad it works!

Sure, if you already have created some kind of user table, tweak the code so as to use your data:

Remove the line I told you to insert (was for test), and adapt the line

$user=User::model()->find('LOWER(username)=?',array(strtolower($username)));

to match your model.

Then modify the password validation (currently 'else if(!$user->validatePassword($password))') to whatever you need.

As an example (yours will probably differ), here is how I modified it (I'm using the Users extension):

        	$identity = new UserIdentity($username, $password);
        	$identity->authenticate();
        	if ($identity->errorCode === UserIdentity::ERROR_NONE) {
                	Yii::app()->user->login($identity, 0);
        	} else {
            	$this->_sendResponse(401, 'Invalid credentials');
        	}

Hi all,
I just followed this tutorial. It's now working on my personal laptop(localhost) but when I try to upload it to the server (godaddy.com) I just doesn't work. I get an error that says 'no input file specified'. 404 Not Found. If i remove the urlFormat It just work perfectly, I means the controller and ActiveRecords ). Doesn't anyone knows why this it?
Thanks a lot.

Hello,


I have written a tutorial about how to implement a REST API with Yii::

http://www.yiiframew...ate-a-rest-api/

Please post your feedback here!


Best Regards,

Joachim

[3amsleep]

THANKS!, I'm just starting on Yii and i was wondering how to implement a REST service on it. Thanks a lot man!

[vladimircape]

Also it will be helpfull if you describe how to do in such case
have 2 URL
site.ru/user/create(for HTML)
and site.ru/user/create.json(for JSON)
but only one controller should be (he will render HTML or JSON

[zeratool]

Does anyone here tried this REST extension -- https://github.com/weavora/wrest ?

I found the syntax very neat. Like you, i want to develop a RESTful app with YII.

Any feedback on this extension is really appreciated.

Thanks.

But it return

Status Code: 401 Unauthorized
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 795
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2012 11:27:53 GMT

Server: Apache/2.4.2 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.4
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.4

When I didn't use $this->_checkAuth();

It's work. I don't know how can I fix it.

I've never used web service before, it's first time for me.

Thank a lot.

I'm using RESTClient Firefox Add-ons

I've set Custom Header.

Name: HTTP_X_ASCCPE_USERNAME
Password: demo

and again another custom header with:
Name: HTTP_X_ASCCPE_PASSWORD
Password: demo

I'm sure that a user with username=demo and password=demo is exist in Database, but I've got this error:

    Status Code: 401 Unauthorized
    Connection: Keep-Alive
    Content-Length: 762
