User login serivce in RESTful

[polinwei]

Hi Sir:

I plan to write a user login service in RESTful . The procedure is after user login , then system generate a new auth_key and return to user. My code is below, but not work . Could you help me to point where is wrong? thanks!!

1. modules\users\BootstrapApi

   // Rules for RESTful
   [
   'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
   'controller' => [
       'users/default'
   ],
   'extraPatterns' => [
       'POST user/login' => 'users/default/login',
   ]
   ],

2. modules\users\controllers\api\DefaultController

   class DefaultController extends ActiveController
   {
   public $modelClass = 'modules\users\models\api\User';
   
   public function actionLogin(){
       $model = new LoginForm();
       $model->email = $_POST['email'];
       $model->password = $_POST['password'];
   
       if( $model->login()){
           $user = User::findByUsernameEmail($model->email);
           $user->generateAuthKey();
           $user->save();            
           return $user->getAuthKey();
       } else {
           $model->validate();
           return $model;
       }
   
   }

3. Url http://mysite.com/api/user/login?email=user@gmail.com&password=123

Hi! Well, for starters, you pass parameters by the method of Get and try to get from POST

3. Url http://mysite.com/api/user/login?email=user@gmail.com&password=123

$model->email = $_POST['email'];
$model->password = $_POST['password'];

My version:

1. modules\users\BootstrapApi.php

   public function bootstrap($app)
   {
   $app->getUrlManager()->addRules(
       [
               // Rules for RESTful
               [
                   'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
                   'controller' => [
                       'users/default',
                   ],
                   'pluralize' => false,
               ],
               'GET user/login' => 'users/default/login',
               // @see http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-rest-routing.html
               //'PUT,PATCH user/<id>' => 'users/default/update',
               //'DELETE user/<id>' => 'users/default/delete',
               'GET,HEAD user/<id>' => 'users/default/view',
               //'POST user' => 'users/default/create',
               'GET,HEAD users' => 'users/default/index',
               //'user/<id>' => 'users/default/options',
               //'users' => 'users/default/options',
       ]
   );
   parent::bootstrap($app);
   }

2. modules\users\controllers\api\DefaultController

   //...
   /**
   * @return LoginForm
   */
   public function actionLogin()
   {
   $model = new LoginForm();
   if($model->load(Yii::$app->request->get(), '') && $model->login()) {
       $modelClass = $this->modelClass;
       $user = $modelClass::findOne(Yii::$app->user->identity->getId());
       $user->generateAuthKey();
       if($user->save())
           return 'auth_key: '. $user->auth_key;
   }
   $model->validate();
   return $model;
   }
   //...

   We check: http://mysite.com/api/users/login?email=user@gmail.com&password=123 return new auth key: "t19TwQouZWLtNW232tqd-J3L7iHz6K6D"

I tried the rule also can work as below.

        $app->getUrlManager()->addRules(
            [
                // Rules for RESTful
                [
                    'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
                    'controller' => [
                        'users/default'
                    ],
                    'pluralize' => false,
                    'extraPatterns' => [
                        'GET login' => 'login',
                    ],
                ],
                // @see http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-rest-routing.html
                //'PUT,PATCH user/<id>' => 'users/default/update',
                //'DELETE user/<id>' => 'users/default/delete',
                'GET,HEAD user/<id>' => 'users/default/view',
                //'POST user' => 'users/default/create',
                'GET,HEAD users' => 'users/default/index',
                //'user/<id>' => 'users/default/options',
                //'users' => 'users/default/options',
            ]
        );

By the way for testing RESTful I'm using a plugin for the Mozilla Firefox browser REST Easy
