Question

I working with Luracast Restler API frame work and cannot figure out how to specify a default behavior for the root directory. For example:

webroot/user – will invoke the class User method get() by default

webroot/ – return a 404

Is there a catch all class/method for the base path?

Answer 1

Creating default class and default action to map it as the root

on your index.php (gateway)

require_once '../../restler/restler.php';
require_once 'say.php';
$r = new Restler();
//blank string as the second param removes class_name from the URL
$r->addAPIClass('Say','');
$r->handle();

This makes Say as the default class, mapped to the root
Next on your API class (Say) define an index method, it can also be a get method

class Say {
    function index($to='world') {
        return "Hello $to!";
    }
}

then calling

GET index.php

will return Hello World!
