I am new to Web service and i like to make a web service in Zend Framework 2 using AbstractRestfulController.. Can any one give me a simple example. May be with a single function.

Answer 1

In your config.module.php

'controllers' => array(
    'invokables' => array(
        'My\Controller\ObjectController' => 'My\Controller\ObjectController'
    )
)

In your router

'object' => array(
    'type' => 'segment',
    'options' => array(
        'route' => '/objects[/:object_id]',
        'constraints' => array(
            'object_id' => '[0-9]*'
        ),
        'defaults' => array(
            'controller' => 'My\Controller\ObjectController'
        )
    )
),

Your controller

<?php

namespace My\Controller;

use Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractRestfulController;

class ObjectController extends AbstractRestfulController {

    public function get($id)
    {
        return new JsonModel( ... add Json representation of object with $id ... );
    }

    public function getList()
    {
        return new JsonModel( ... add Json representation of object collection ... );
    }


    ... add other methods that are needed ...

}

That is basically it
