Features and Usage
==================

[](#features-and-usage)

*(Only works for REST endpoints.)*

This module is designed as a dependency for developing other modules.

**1. Support for `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded`**
Magento WEBAPI\_REST recognizes `application/json`, `application/xml`, `application/xhtml+xml`, `text/xml` Content-Type out of the box, any others will result in an error message like `"message": "Server cannot understand Content-Type HTTP header media type application/x-www-form-urlencoded"`

However, `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` is commonly used in forms and many third part software could only POST this content type.

**How to use?**
Just make the request normally using `Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded` and add an additional custom header `Use-Deprecated-Content-Type: 1`.
**Note: You MUST include the `Use-Deprecated-Content-Type: 1` header in your request, otherwise it does not work!**

**2. Conditionally modifies JSON output behavior**
When developing a service class(usually a file called someActionManagement.php in Model folder), if it returns an array like below,

```
return [
    'code' => 0,
    'message' => 'Success',
    'data' => [
        'customer_id' => 1
    ]
];

```

Magento encloses the returned data in an array parentheses and property names got stripped out.
Output:

```
[
    0,
    "Success",
    {
        "customer_id": 1
    }
]

```

This may be not what you want.
If the service class returns

```
return [
    'dummy' => [
        'code' => 0,
        'message' => 'Success',
        'data' => [
            'customer_id' => 1
        ]
    ]
];

```

the output becomes

```
[
    {
        "code": 0,
        "message": "Success",
        "data": {
            "customer_id": 1
        }
    }
]

```

Note the outermost `[]`, many third party software expects the output to be an object, though.

**How to use?**
Add `'type' => 'simple_array'` in the output array, i.e.,

```
return [
    'code' => 0,
    'message' => 'Success',
    'data' => [
        'customer_id' => 1
    ],
    'type' => 'simple_array' // Add this key-value pair
];

```

Then output will be

```
{
    "code": 0,
    "message": "Success",
    "data": {
        "customer_id": 1
    }
}

```

**Note: the JSON output will not have `"type": "simple_array"`, it got removed!**
