RESTful middleware service provider for [**Silex 2.0+**](http://silex.sensiolabs.org/) micro-framework.

> This project is a part of [`silex-tools`](https://github.com/lokhman/silex-tools) library.

Installation
----------------------------------------------------

[](#installation)

You can install `silex-restful` with [Composer](http://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require lokhman/silex-restful

```

Documentation
------------------------------------------------------

[](#documentation)

Registering `RestfulServiceProvider` will easily extend your application routing with JSON request/response methods, error handing and JSON parameter acceptance. It works in the same way as Silex routing binding (`get`, `post`, etc), supports own `controllers_factory` and `mount` functionality.

```
use Lokhman\Silex\Provider\RestfulServiceProvider;

$app->register(new RestfulServiceProvider());

// response is transformed to JSON string
$app['restful']->get('/api', function() {
    return ['version' => '1.0'];
});

// can mount controller collections
$app['restful']->mount('/api/v2', function($api) {
    // accepts parameters from "application/json" body
    $api->post('/submit', function(Request $request) {
        return ['params' => $request->request->all()];
    });
});

// can mount controller providers
class ApiBundle implements ControllerProviderInterface {

    function connect(Application $app) {
        $factory = $app['restful.controllers_factory'];

        $factory->get('/', function() {
            // will modify all exceptions to JSON compatible responses
            throw new GoneHttpException('API v3 is not supported anymore.');
        });

        return $factory->getControllerCollection();
    }

}

$app->mount('/api/v3', new ApiBundle());

```
