Hi,

Just installed the plugin, its not clear how to only allow a user to manipulate their own data. Also I was wondering if there was a way to implement custom code to the API endpoints by overwriting the functionality of the 4 provided methods post,get etc...

Thanks

Hi, Thanks for your question/heads up. The plugin provides a feature to allow user's to only update their own data. You configure this on the controller's page > behavoir tab. Select requires permissions and configure your settings according to your needs. See picture below:

With regard to customizing code for the endpoints, you have two options:

1. Override the desired method in the controller. Example:

    public function update(Request $request) {
      // Your custom code
    }

2. Create a trait that implements the desired methods and include it in your controller

   trait CustomAPIController {
       public function store(Request $request) {
           // Your custom code
       }
   }

   Then include the trait in you controller class

   class VoteController extends Controller {
       use \Author\Plugin\CustomAPIController;
   }

Hi again,

Thanks for the reply.

Update worked.

Tried with index() for posts but didn't work, got the following error: Symfony\Component\Debug\Exception\FatalThrowableError: Argument 2 passed to Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse::__construct() must be of the type integer, string given

   public function index(Request $request){
    Log::info("In post");
  }

Also it would be good to have a popup when saving the Controller, informing that any custom code written will be overwritten. Or even better if it wasn't overwritten :D
