NAME Mojolicious::Plugin::RESTRoutes - routing helper for RESTful operations VERSION version 0.010009 DESCRIPTION This Mojolicious plugin adds a routing helper for REST ful CRUD operations via HTTP to the app. The routes are intended, but not restricted to be used by AJAX applications. METHODS register Adds the routing helper. Is called by Mojolicious. MOJOLICIOUS SHORTCUTS rest_routes Can be used to easily generate the needed RESTful routes for a resource. $self->rest_routes(name => 'user'); # Installs the following routes (given that $r->namespaces == ['My::Mojo']): # GET /api/users --> My::Mojo::User::rest_list() # POST /api/users --> My::Mojo::User::rest_create() # GET /api/users/:userid --> My::Mojo::User::rest_show() # PUT /api/users/:userid --> My::Mojo::User::rest_update() # DELETE /api/users/:userid --> My::Mojo::User::rest_remove() Take care: IDs must be numeric! The target controller has to implement the following methods: * rest_list * rest_create * rest_show * rest_update * rest_remove There are some options to control the route creation: Parameters name The name of the resource, e.g. a "user", a "book" etc. This name will be used to build the route URL as well as the controller name (see example above). readonly (optional) If set to 1, no create/update/delete routes will be created controller (optional) Default behaviour is to use the resource name to build the CamelCase controller name (this is done by Mojolicious::Routes::Route). You can change this by directly specifying the controller's name via the *controller* attribute. Note that you have to give the real controller class name (i.e. CamelCased or whatever you class name looks like) including the full namespace. $self->rest_routes(name => 'user', controller => 'My::Mojo::Person'); # Installs the following routes: # GET /api/users --> My::Mojo::Person::rest_list() # ...
