Installation You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.
The recommended way to install composer packages is:
composer require cakedc/cakephp-api
Ensure the API Plugin is loaded in your config/bootstrap.php file
Plugin::load('CakeDC/Api', ['bootstrap' => true, 'routes' => true]);You can custom the api overwriting the api.php, how? we need to create an api.php file in the config folder. It need to be write in the same standard of the original. You can take a look in CakeDC/Api/config/api.php to know how to write it. In this case API plugin initialization would be a bit diferent.
Plugin::load('CakeDC/Api', ['bootstrap' => false, 'routes' => true]);
Configure::load('api');
We need to have CakeDC/Users plugin installed, because we use it for auth. Below you can see what you need to do with users plugin.
composer require cakedc/users
Configure::write('Users.config', ['users']);
Plugin::load('CakeDC/Users', ['bootstrap' => false, 'routes' => true]);
