Method overloading: return/call plugins
If the plugin is a functor, call it, passing the parameters provided. Otherwise, return the plugin instance.
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $method | string | |
| $params | array |
Returns: mixed
Register a handler for a custom HTTP method
This method allows you to handle arbitrary HTTP method types, mapping them to callables. Typically, these will be methods of the controller instance: e.g., array($this, 'foobar'). The typical place to register these is in your constructor.
Additionally, as this map is checked prior to testing the standard HTTP methods, this is a way to override what methods will handle the standard HTTP methods. However, if you do this, you will have to retrieve the identifier and any request content manually.
Callbacks will be passed the current MvcEvent instance.
To retrieve the identifier, you can use "$id = $this->getIdentifier($routeMatch, $request)", passing the appropriate objects.
To retrieve the body content data, use "$data = $this->processBodyContent($request)"; that method will return a string, array, or, in the case of JSON, an object.
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $method | string | |
| $handler | callable |
Returns: \AbstractRestfulController
Create a new resource
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $data | mixed |
Returns: mixed
Delete an existing resource
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $id | mixed |
Returns: mixed
Delete the entire resource collection
Not marked as abstract, as that would introduce a BC break (introduced in 2.1.0); instead, raises an exception if not implemented.
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $data |
Returns: mixed
Dispatch a request
If the route match includes an "action" key, then this acts basically like a standard action controller. Otherwise, it introspects the HTTP method to determine how to handle the request, and which method to delegate to.
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $request | \Request | |
| $response | null|\Response |
Returns: mixed|\Response
Return single resource
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $id | mixed |
Returns: mixed
Get the attached event
Will create a new MvcEvent if none provided.
Returns: \MvcEvent
Retrieve the event manager
Lazy-loads an EventManager instance if none registered.
Returns: \EventManagerInterface
Retrieve the route match/query parameter name containing the identifier
Returns: string
Return list of resources
Returns: mixed
Transform an "action" token into a method name
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $action | string |
Returns: string
Get plugin manager
Returns: \PluginManager
Get request object
Returns: \Request
Get response object
Returns: \Response
Retrieve HEAD metadata for the resource
Not marked as abstract, as that would introduce a BC break (introduced in 2.1.0); instead, raises an exception if not implemented.
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |

| $id | null|mixed |
Returns: mixed
Basic functionality for when a page is not available
Returns: array
Handle the request
| Parameter Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| $e | \MvcEvent |
Returns: mixed
Respond to the OPTIONS method
Typically, set the Allow header with allowed HTTP methods, and return the response.
Not marked as abstract, as that would introduce a BC break (introduced in 2.1.0); instead, raises an exception if not implemented.
Returns: mixed
Respond to the PATCH method
Not marked as abstract, as that would introduce a BC break (introduced in 2.1.0); instead, raises an exception if not implemented.

Modify a resource collection without completely replacing it
Not marked as abstract, as that would introduce a BC break (introduced in 2.2.0); instead, raises an exception if not implemented.
