Hey there!
I have had some problems with the K4 panel api and I am not sure if I do something wrong or if it’s a bug.
In some of my plugins I used this.$api to call custom endpoints. I switched that to panel.api for example:
panel.api
.post('komments/verify', {
pageSlug: pageSlug,
kommentId: kommentId,
isVerified: isVerified,
})
In the panel you click a button to trigger the call. The following happens:
- You click the button
- The async call is triggered
- You immediately get redirected to the API url and see a 401 json result
After clicking the button I can see the changes in the markdown file, so the code of the endpoint seems to work. But whatever I do the redirect follows.
It does not matter if it’s a GET or POST call I will be redirected. In this example to:
https://DEVHOSTNAME/api/komments/verify
Okay… so while I am writing this I tried to write a simplified example of the endpoint and figured out, what the problem is!
Until now, the api endpoint ended with a return statement like so:
return json_encode(['message' => 'okay']);
This will end up in that redirect.
Changing it to:
return new Response(json_encode(['message' => 'okay']), 'application/json');
The call is then executed and no redirect follows.
So all the endpoint where I have older code without the Response end with a redirect, the others work.
I will post this anyway, maybe somebody else is stumbling upon the problem and finds this solution.
Also this may be a bug? As long as I return something I wouldn’t expect the redirect behavior.
