Laminas API Tools Admin

🇷🇺 Русским гражданам

Мы, участники Laminas, родились и живем в разных странах. У многих из нас есть друзья, родственники и коллеги как в России, так и в Украине. Некоторые из нас родились в России. Некоторые из нас живут в России. У некоторых бабушки и дедушки сражались с фашистами во Второй мировой войне. Здесь никто не поддерживает фашизм.

У одного из нас есть украинская родственница, которая спаслась из дома вместе с сыном. Поезд задержался из-за бомбежки на дороге впереди. У нас есть друзья, которые прячутся в бомбоубежищах. Мы с тревогой ждем весточки от них после воздушных налетов, которые беспорядочно наносят удары и попадают по больницам, школам, детским садам и домам. Мы не берем это из каких-либо СМИ. Мы наблюдаем это напрямую.

Вы доверяете нам достаточно, чтоб использовать наши программы, и мы просим вас довериться нам вновь. Мы нуждаемся в помощи. Выходите и протестуйте против этой бесполезной войны. Остановите кровопролитие. Скажите "Нет войне!"

🇺🇸 To Citizens of Russia

We at Laminas come from all over the world. Many of us have friends, family and colleagues in both Russia and Ukraine. Some of us were born in Russia. Some of us currently live in Russia. Some have grandparents who fought Nazis in World War II. Nobody here supports fascism.

One team member has a Ukrainian relative who fled her home with her son. The train was delayed due to bombing on the road ahead. We have friends who are hiding in bomb shelters. We anxiously follow up on them after the air raids, which indiscriminately fire at hospitals, schools, kindergartens and houses. We're not taking this from any media. These are our actual experiences.

You trust us enough to use our software. We ask that you trust us to say the truth on this. We need your help. Go out and protest this unnecessary war. Stop the bloodshed. Say "stop the war!"

Introduction

The api-tools-admin module delivers the backend management API and frontend Admin UI used to manage APIs in Laminas API Tools.

NOTE

DO NOT enable this module in production systems.

Requirements

Please see the composer.json file.

Installation

Run the following composer command:

And then run composer install to ensure the module is installed.

Finally, add the module name to your project's config/application.config.php under the modules key:

Typically, this module should be used along with laminas-development-mode in order to conditionally enable the module in your application. When doing so, you will add the module to your project's config/development.config.php.dist file instead of the config/application.config.php file, and enable it via php public/index.php development enable.

Upgrading

We strive to make upgrading as simple as a composer update; however, from time to time, there may be other steps involved. This section documents those.

Initial upgrade to 1.5

If you are upgrading to version 1.5 or higher from a pre-1.5 version, there are a few changes to be aware of.

First, version 1.5 drops the requirement for rwoverdijk/assetmanager. However, in order to use the admin UI, you will need some way to access the public assets provided by the UI and api-tools modules. You have three options:

1. Install rwoverdijk/assetmanager: composer require rwoverdijk/assetmanager. Be aware, however, that as of the time of the 1.5.0 release, this module is not compatible with v3 releases of laminas-mvc. If you are looking for a quick upgrade, and do not care what versions of Laminas components you install, this is the easiest path.

2. Install api-tools-asset-manager. This is a Composer plugin, and operates when installing or uninstalling a package. If you add this, you will need to follow these steps:

   • composer require --dev laminas-api-tools/api-tools-asset-manager
   • rm -Rf ./vendor
   • composer install

   • The additional steps are necessary in order for the plugin to pick up on the assets from the other components.

3. Manually copy or symlink in the assets required to your public directory. As examples:

   • ln -s vendor/laminas-api-tools/api-tools/asset/api-tools public/api-tools
   • ln -s vendor/laminas-api-tools/api-tools-admin-ui/dist/api-tools-ui public/api-tools-ui

Each of the three will accomplish the goal of making the assets publicly available via your application's web server.

Upgrading to v3 Laminas components from 1.5

After upgrading to version 1.5 of this module, you can then upgrade your application to take advantage of Laminas v3 components. The easiest way to do that is to use the provided script:

This script will update your Composer requirements and constraints, update your modules list to list Laminas components and remove unneeded/obsolete components, and then re-install all dependencies.

If you do not wish to use the script, or the script fails, you may manually update your application using the following steps:

• Update your composer.json:
  • Remove:
  • require.zendframework/zendframework
  • require.rwoverdijk/assetmanager
  • require-dev.zendframework/zftool
  • Update:
  • require.laminas/laminas-development-mode constraint becomes ^3.0
  • require-dev.laminas/laminas-developer-tools becomes ^1.0
  • Add:
  • require.laminas/laminas-cache, with a constraint of 2.7.1
  • require.laminas/laminas-log, with a constraint of 2.9
  • require.laminas/laminas-mvc-i18n, with a constraint of 1.0
  • require-dev.laminas-api-tools/api-tools-asset-manager, with a constraint of ^1.0
• Update your config/modules.config.php:
  • Remove:
  • AssetManager
  • Laminas\DevelopmentMode
  • Add, at the top of the list:
  • Laminas\Cache
  • Laminas\Db
  • Laminas\Filter
  • Laminas\Hydrator
  • Laminas\InputFilter
  • Laminas\I18n
  • Laminas\Log
  • Laminas\Mvc\I18n
  • Laminas\Paginator
  • Laminas\Router
  • Laminas\Validator
• Update your config/development.config.php and config/development.config.php.dist files:
  • Remove from the modules list:
  • ZFTool
• Remove composer.lock
• Remove, recursively, the vendor/ subdirectory
• Execute composer install

Development Mode

Prior to 1.5 and running the upgrade script or following the upgrade instructions from above, Laminas API Tools used laminas-development-mode v2 releases, which relied on the Console <-> MVC integration present by default in laminas-mvc v2 releases.

laminas-development-mode v3 operates differently, however, and instead ships as a Composer vendor binary, with no additional requirements. Invocation is now:

and

You can also query for status:

Configuration

Since this particular module is responsible for providing APIs and the Laminas API Tools Admin UI, it has a significant amount of configuration that it requires in order to function in a development environment. Since it is highly unlikely that developers would need to modify the system-level configuration, it is omitted in this README, but can be found within the repository.

Additionally, the module defines the following module-specific configuration, under the top-level key api-tools-admin:

Key: path_spec

By default, api-tools-admin will create new Laminas API Tools modules using PSR-0 directory structure. You can switch to PSR-4 using the api-tools-admin.path_spec configuration, which accepts one of the following values:

• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ModulePathSpec::PSR_0 ('psr-0')
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ModulePathSpec::PSR_4 ('psr-4')

Routes

This module exposes HTTP accessible API endpoints and static assets.

API Endpoints

All routes are prefixed with /api-tools by default.

api/api-tools-version

• Errors: application/problem+json

The minimum structure for creating a new REST service will appear as follows:

API Models

The following is a list of various models either returned via the API endpoints listed above, or expected for the request bodies.

authentication

HTTP Basic authentication:

HTTP Digest authentication:

OAuth2 authentication:

authentication2

HTTP Basic authentication:

HTTP Digest authentication:

OAuth2 authentication (with PDO):

OAuth2 authentication (with MongoDB):

authorization

REST services have an entry for each of their entity and collection instances. RPC services have an entry per action name that is exposed (this will typically only be one). Each service has a list of HTTP methods, with a flag. A false value indicates that no authorization is required; a true value indicates that authorization is required.

Note: If the deny_by_default flag is set in the application, then the meaning of the flags is reversed; true then means the method is public, false means it requires authentication.

db-adapter

Additionally, any other properties used to create the Laminas\Db\Adapter\Adapter instance may be composed: e.g., "username", "password", etc.

inputfilter

An input filter may contain any number of inputs, and the format follows that used by Laminas\InputFilter\Factory as described in the [Laminas input filter documentation] (https://getlaminas.org/manual/2.3/en/modules/laminas.input-filter.intro.html).

Currently, we do not allow nesting input filters.

module

Additionally, the module resource composes relational links for RPC and REST resources; these use the relations "rpc" and "rest", respectively.

rpc

rest

Laminas Events

Listeners

Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Module

This listener is attached to MvcEvent::EVENT_RENDER at priority 100. It is responsible for conditionally attaching a listener depending on if the controller service result is that of an entity or that of a collection. If either is detected, the listener is attached to the Laminas\ApiTools\Hal\Plugin\Hal events renderEntity and renderCollection.entity, which ensures they will be dispatched when the HAL plugin has an opportunity to start rendering.

Laminas Services

Models

Many of the model services provided by api-tools-admin either deal with the generation and modification of PHP code, or the generation and modification of PHP based configuration files.

• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\AuthenticationModel - responsible for creating and modifying the authentication specific configuration of HTTP Basic, HTTP Digest and OAuth2 strategies. Sensitive information will be written to local configuration files while structural information is written to global and module files.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\AuthorizationModelFactory - responsible for writing the authorization specific details (the ACL matrix of allow/disallow rules) to the module configuration file.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ContentNegotiationModel - responsible for writing custom content-negotiation selectors to the global configuration file.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ContentNegotiationResource - REST resource that consumes the ContentNegotiationModel in order to expose an API endpoint for content-negotiation configuration management.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\DbAdapterModel - responsible for writing database adapter specific configuration between application level global and local configuration files. Sensitive information is written to local configuration files.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\DbAdapterResource - REST resource that consumes the DbAdapterModel in order to expose an API endpoint for database adapter configuration management.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\DbConnectedRestServiceModel - responsible for writing the required configuration information necessary to expose a database table as a REST resource.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\DocumentationModel - responsible for writing a special named file in the module's configuration directory that will contain all custom API documentation for requests, responses, and all other documentable elements of an API.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\InputFilterModel - responsible for writing the input filter specification configuration for each module.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\FiltersModel - responsible for providing, through the API, a list of built-in filters and their metadata.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\HydratorsModel - responsible for configuring and managing the global list of hydrator service names.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ModuleModel - responsible for aggregating module information including REST and RPC services and exposing this information through the API. Additionally, when creating a new module, this will create the code artifacts necessary for an Laminas API Tools-enabled module.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ModuleResource - responsible for exposing the ModuleModel as a REST resource in the Laminas API Tools API.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\RestServiceModel - responsible for presenting REST services, as they are defined in api-tools-rest in a way that can be created and modified, to be used in the Admin UI.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\RestServiceResource - responsible for consuming RestServiceModel and exposing this model as a REST resource in the Laminas API Tools API.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\RestServiceModelFactory - responsible for creating RestServiceModels.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\RpcServiceModel - responsible for presenting RPC services, as they are defined in api-tools-rpc in a way that can be created and modified, to be used in the Admin UI.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\RpcServiceResource - responsible for consuming RpcServiceModels and exposing this model as a REST resource in the Laminas API Tools API.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\RpcServiceModelFactory - responsible for creating RpcServiceModels.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ValidatorsModel - responsible for providing, through the API, a list of available validators.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ValidatorMetadataModel - responsible for providing metadata about validators provided through, and in conjunction with, the ValidatorModel and validator API.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\VersioningModel - responsible for modeling the workflow and module code creation artifacts that are required to provide a new version of a particular Laminas API Tools-based REST or RPC service.
• Laminas\ApiTools\Admin\Model\ModuleVersioningModelFactory - responsible for creating ModuleVersioningModels.
