Hi,
I'm using Catalyst-Controller-DBIC-API to provide some RESTful webservices
- at the moment it is set up as per the cpan docs:
/api/rest/superfamily # lists all "superfamily" objects
/api/rest/superfamily/1.10.8.10 # list a single "superfamily" object
/api/rest/domain # lists all "domain" objects
/api/rest/domain/1abcA01 # list a single "domain" object
NB: a "domain" belongs to a "superfamily".
I also want to set up some chained uris to make common queries more
readable and avoid typos, e.g.
# list all the domains in superfamily "1.10.8.10"
/api/rest/superfamily/1.10.8.10/domain
I couldn't see any docs that specifically deal with this - so at the moment
I'm working on the basis that I need create an end point for the above path
and turn it into a request for:
/api/rest/domain?search.superfamily_id=1.10.8.10
Since I need to mess with the request params I figured I need to do this
via a full SubRequest - something like...
package MyApp::Controller::API::REST::Superfamily::Domain;
use Moose;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller' }
sub base :Chained( '/api/rest/superfamily/base_with_id' ) PathPart(
'domain' ) CaptureArgs(0) {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
}
sub list :Chained( 'base') PathPart('') Args(0) {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
my $res = $c->subreq_res(
$c->uri_for_action( '/api/rest/domain/list_objects'
)->path,
{},
{
'search.superfamily_id' =>
$c->stash->{superfamily_id},
});
$c->response->headers( $res->headers );
$c->response->body( $res->body );
}
However, this seems a bit messy (although perhaps marginally less messy
then overwriting the current request params, then forwarding) - is there a
better way of achieving this kind of thing?
Many thanks,
