Detailed Description

A variation on the standard FanniePage using REST principles.

Four methods are available for processing user input and are automatically called based on HTTP request type:

• getHandler
• postHandler
• putHandler
• deleteHandler These methods behave like FanniePage::preprocess; there are just four options automatically

Eight methods are available for displaying the page and are also automatically called based on request type:

• getView
• get_idView
• postView
• post_idView
• putView
• put_idView
• deleteView
• delete_idView These methods behave like FanniePage::body_content; again there are just more options.

A class does not need to implement handlers or views for all request types. Use as few or as many as needed.

PUT and DELETE are simulated by setting a form field named "_method".

$database_connection	SQLManager object
$class	string name of model class
$params	array of column names and values
$find	[optional] string sort column or False

Returns

model object or array or model objects

If called without $find or $find=False returns a single model object. Provided $params must be sufficient to uniquely identify a single record

If called with $find then returns an array of model objects for all records that match $params and sorted by $find.

FannieRESTfulPage::readRoutes

(

)

Member Data Documentation

FannieRESTfulPage::$__routes

protected

Initial value:

= array(
        'get',
        'get<id>',
        'post',
        'post<id>',
        'put',
        'put<id>',
        'delete',
        'delete<id>'
    )

Define available routes Syntax is request method followed by parameter names in angle brackets

method<one><two> should provide a controller function named method_one_twoHandler(). It may optionally provide a view function named method_one_twoView().

controller functions behave like FanniePage::preprocess and should return True or False.

view functions behave like FanniePage::body_content and should return an HTML string
