So I’ve been able to convert the json method from using a template + a folder and empty text file, to the one shown here, below (it’s divided in three files):
// plugins/api.php
<?php
$prefix = "api/v1";
kirby()->routes([
[
'method' => 'GET',
'pattern' => "{$prefix}/events",
'action' => function() {
// Get the events pages
$events = page('events')->children()->visible();
$data = [];
// Transform for API delivery
foreach ($events as $event) {
$data[] = $event->serialize();
}
return response::json($data);
}
]
]);
?>
// controllers/events.php
<?php
return function ($site, $pages, $page) {
if (get('format') == 'json') {
$data = [
'uid' => $page->uid(),
'title' => $page->title()->toString(),
'text' => (string) $page->kirbytext(),
];
die(response::json($data, 200));
}
}
?>
// models/event.php
<?php
class EventPage extends Page {
public function serialize() {
return [
'uid' => $this->uid(),
'url' => $this->url(),
'title' => $this->title()->html()->toString(),
'text' => $this->text()->kirbytext()->toString()
];
}
}
?>
Everything works.
I now use this other method to expose my json page’s url to Javascript, as suggested here by the person who made _kirby-json-api.
<script type="text/javascript">
/**
* Kirby JavaScript settings object. It contains settings and functions that JavaScript code
* potentially needs to know about when dealing with Kirby
*/
window.Kirby = {
baseUrl: '<?php echo $site->url() ?>',
url: function (path) {
return this.baseUrl + (path && path[0] === '/' ? path : '/' + path);
},
};
</script>
