The course is very useful. Thanks a lot. I have a question. If we want to create another controller, such as categories. I could not understand how we should follow the actions in Index.php. Can you show a sample code snippet to create another controller?

@dave-hollingworth

Жыл бұрын

You'd have to create the controller class (and the gateway class if necessary) based on the URL segment, in the $parts[1] variable. A simple if-else statement would do the trick. You'd also have to modify the check for displaying a 404 status based on the URL to include another string.

That's a union type, which was introduced in PHP 8 - if you're getting an error, then you're using a version earlier than that. You can either upgrade to PHP 8, or remove those return type declarations.

In the getConnection method why do always create a new instance of a PDO?

To connect to the database - if you're calling the getConnection method more than once in a single request, then you could modify it to always return the same object

Very well explained. The only thing I got a little confused with was the switch case of POST/GET, and then also PATCH and DELETE, between processResourceRequest and processCollectionRequest. These are custom request methods? I guess I have missed something...

These are custom methods, yes. Basically the switch chooses which one to run based on the HTTP request method.

The check for the URL segment is to demonstrate returning a 404 response - to add other routes, you would change this check to include others; or if you have a lot of resources, consider using a router component or something like Slim

@@dave-hollingworth Found the problem: If you declare a __construct function with private parameters, you get the error, so the example would be in the declaration of the Database class. The reason is that this feature of allowing private parameters was only introduced in PHP v8. So anything less than this will generate the error. Now that I know this, I used the following to get the same result. PHP private string $host; private string $name; private string $user; private string $password; public function __construct( string $akahost, string $akaname, string $akauser, string $akapassword) { $this->host=$akahost; $this->name=$akaname; $this->user=$akauser; $this->password=$akapassword; } PHP > v8 public function __construct(private string $host, private string $name, private string $user, private string $password) {}

what is the difference when using core/plain PHP and Laravel to create APIs?

@dave-hollingworth

Laravel does a lot for you, with plain PHP you have to do it all yourself. Plain PHP is simpler though and uses less resources, but Laravel is probably faster to develop once you know the framework, so it's up to you which one you use
