Backend module with testbed 

While creating your own RestApi you don't need to use external tools like Postman. All registered endpoints automatically get listed in the backend module. By clicking on the compose-icon you can create your custom request in the backend including Frontend-User authentication and file-uploading.

Search and filter endpoints 

Search for registered endpoints in the backend and hide the default endpoints that come with the nnrestapi-extension.

Automatic documentation 

Use Markdown in your method annotations to automatically create the documentation. This saves a lot of time and keeps code and documentation at one place.

FrontendUser Authentication 

The nnrestapi extensions ships with a Authentication-layer for logging in frontend-users and setting Json Web Tokens (JWT). This allows development from localhost-environments which connect to a external development-server without CORS-problems.

You can test the login / logout from the testbed in the backend module:

FrontendUser Configuration 

Set an API-key for frontend users to authenticate using HTTP basic auth. Alternatively you can use JSON Web Tokens (JWT) or cookies.

Setting the checkbox "admin mode" will allow the frontend user to retrieve hidden records with relations. This would usually only be able for backend users.

Extension Configuration 

Define API-keys for global users (no frontend-user necessary) that can authenticate using HTTP basic auth. Set a session lifetime for your users - or create API-sessions that never expire.

Logging 

Requests and errors can be logged in the backend and simply be replayed for debugging errors.

The log module offers many options for filtering, sorting and viewing the log entries.

Logging Configuration 

Configure logging of API requests and errors in the Extension Manager. Enable request logging for debugging, set up error logging for production monitoring, and control privacy settings like IP anonymization.

CodePens to go wild on 

We've tried to give you as many practical examples for the frontend and backend as possible. Most of the examples are also on CodePen for you to copy, test and modify.
