Confused about URL rules

Yii 2.0 General Discussions

Hey guys,

I am looking to implement a RESTful controller. I have been following along with this tutorial : http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-rest-quick-start.html.

However, I am trying to use a slightly different directory structure :

–Frontend

[indent]–api[/indent]

[indent][indent]–controllers[/indent][/indent]

[indent][indent][indent]–UserApiController.php[/indent][/indent][/indent]

[indent]–controllers[/indent]

[indent]–models[/indent]

[indent]–etc[/indent]

and I have the following code:




'urlManager' => [

    'enablePrettyUrl' => true,

    'enableStrictParsing' => true,

    'showScriptName' => false,

    'rules' => [

        ['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => 'user'], // <---- I feel like this is what I should be changing, but I want to make sure I am doing this right.

    ],

]

I assume ‘user’ points to the controllers folder by default, can i say ‘frontend\api\controllers\userapi’? (the file is named UserApiController.php)

I appreciate any time spent reviewing this, I really hope I made sense. I will clarify further if needed.

Thanks

UserApiController -> /user-api

If you don’t need special url rules, you can omit ‘rules’ attribute.

That did it, Thanks!
