How to use Hook addWebserviceResources?

[frojha 5]

Hello,

 

is there a code example available of the hook addWebserviceResources? I want to add a custom webservice resource, but all tutorials are outdated and are based on class override (which isn't possible in PrestaShop 1.7).

 

Best regards

Trying this ends in an semi white page:

 

    public function hookAddWebserviceResources($extra_resources)
    {
        $extra_resources['resources']['mypageresource'] = array('description' => 'Manage My Pages', 'class' => 'CMS');
        return $extra_resources;
    }

Hi

 

Not sure how that hook works, but check few things first. Try to enable debug mode and see why you get white page.

 

Also CMS is already available in web service 

 'content_management_system' => array('description' => 'Content management system', 'class' => 'CMS'),

classes/webservice/WebserviceRequest.php line 302.

After inserting some "debug" output in WebserviceRequest.php it seems this is the correct syntax:

    public function hookAddWebserviceResources()
    {
        return array('mypageresource' => array('description' => 'Manage My Pages', 'class' => 'CMS'));
    }

Thanks for sharing.

 

But to ask, you can use custom class, one form module maybe instead CMS ?

Of course it was just a test. Finally I do something like this:
 

require_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'mymodule/classes/customClass.php');
require_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR_.'mymodule/classes/extraClass.php');
 
class MyModule extends Module
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        // Basic module stuff here...
    }

    public function install()
    {
        return parent::install() && $this->registerHook('addWebserviceResources');
    }

    public function hookAddWebserviceResources()
    {
        return array(
            'custom' => array(
                'description' => 'My Custom Resource',
                'class' => 'custom'
            ),
            'extra' => array(
                'description' => 'My Extra Resource',
                'class' => 'extra'
            )
        );
    }
}

mymodule/classes/customClass.php looks like:
 

class custom extends CMS {
    // extend or adjust CMS stuff here
}

That is great share, thank you.

 

Hope other people will find your post as it is really useful.

Does someone know why are the columns class_name, is_module and module_name in the table webservice_account? Can use them somehow with core functions?

@frojha ok, and how do make the actual API call now?

Hello guys!

So far this thread is the only thing i found regarding the API-Hook.

Is there any documentation about this hook? I need to create a very specific JSON-Output when the API is called.

[MikeCodes 3]

i think it's easier to write your own api instead of using that prestashop thing..... 

[SIWA_Fabian 0]

I found out how it works by now and actually its quite easy.

As always the docs are kind of missing, but I'll explain it here as soon as i got time.

Stay tuned
