How can I get my REST requests to hit a controller?

Yii 2.0 REST APIs
1

I am trying to access a REST endpoint GET v1/applications however it does not seem to hit the actionView controller method in the associated controller. I have some dummy code and an XDebug breakpoint set in there, and it’s as if the controller action is skipped entirely before the JSON is returned. Is there a way to get them to hit the controller actions, or will I have to resort back to using a web URL manager and returning JSON instead of rendering a view?

Here is my urlManager config:

'urlManager' => [
        'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
        'enableStrictParsing' => true,
        'showScriptName' => false,
        'rules' => [
            "" => "site/index",
            ['class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule', 'controller' => ['v1/user', 'v1/application', 'v1/flag', 'v1/role']],
        ],
    ],

Here is my controller:

<?php

namespace app\api\v1\controllers;

use app\api\common\controllers\ApplicationController as CommonApplicationController;

class ApplicationController extends CommonApplicationController
{
public $modelClass = ‘app\api\v1\models\Application’;

public function actionCreate()
{
    
}

public function actionDelete($uid)
{
    
}

public function actionIndex()
{

}

public function actionView($uid)
{
    $f = 8;
}

public function actionUpdate($uid)
{
    
}

}

According to the docs, they can be overridden as follows:

public function actions() {
    $actions = parent::actions();
    $actions['index'] = [$this, 'index'];
    $actions['delete'] = [$this, 'delete'];
    $actions['create'] = [$this, 'create'];
    $actions['view'] = [$this, 'view'];
    $actions['update'] = [$this, 'update'];
}

That will point the request to your controller methods actionIndex etc.
