Create a custom resource webservice PrestaShop - php

Question

I create a module for PrestaShop 1.6 where I create a table as following in mymodule/mymodule.php:
class Mymodule extends Module {
// Some code
public function installDb() {
return Db::getInstance()->execute("
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `" . _DB_PREFIX_ . "mytable`(
`id_mdm` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`id_category` INT NOT NULL,
`service` INT NOT NULL,
`title` VARCHAR(300) NOT NULL default '',
`title_font_size` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL default '',
`title_color` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL default '',
`background_color` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL default '',
`border_style` VARCHAR(128) NOT NULL default '',
`position` INT NOT NULL,
`count` INT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id_mdm`), UNIQUE (`id_category`)) ENGINE = InnoDB;");
}
// Some code
}
It works fine, my table is created. Then I override webservice in mymodule/override/classes/webservice/WebserviceRequest.php:
class WebserviceRequest extends WebserviceRequestCore {
public static function getResources() {
$resources = parent::getResources();
$resources['myresource'] = array(
'description' => '',
'class' => 'myresource'
);
ksort($resources);
return $resources;
}
}
I create a new class called myresource in mymodule/override/classes/Myresource.php:
class MyresourceCore extends ObjectModel {
public $id;
public $id_mdm;
public $id_category;
public $service;
public $title;
public $title_font_size;
public $title_color;
public $background_color;
public $border_style;
public $position;
public $count;
public static $definition = array(
'table' => 'mytable',
'primary' => 'id_mdm',
'fields' => array(
'id_category' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),
'service' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),
'title' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
'title_font_size' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
'title_color' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
'background_color' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
'border_style' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING),
'position' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT),
'count' => array('type' => self::TYPE_INT)
)
);
protected $webserviceParameters = array();
}
In the Back office I generate a key for myresource, but when I test in my browser http://mydomain/api/myresource?ws_key=mykey, there is the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'myresource' not found in /path/mydomain/classes/webservice/WebserviceRequest.php on line 502
I don't know why PrestaShop doesn't detect it. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

In Prestashop 1.7, you can use this hook: addWebserviceResources
Example:
include_once dirname(__FILE__) . '/classes/Sample.php';
class myAPISample extends Module {
// ...
public function install() {
return parent::install() && $this->registerHook('addWebserviceResources');
}
// ...
public function hookAddWebserviceResources($params) {
return [ 'samples' => ['description' => 'My sample', 'class' => 'Sample' ] ];
}
//...
}

If you check the PHP error logs, you will notice an error of the type Class not found. In this case it's class "MyResource" not found.
In order to solve this, you need to include your Model class in the constructor of the override method like this
class WebserviceRequest extends WebserviceRequestCore {
public function __construct()
{
include_once(_PS_MODULE_DIR_ . 'myresource' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'classes' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'MyResource.php');
}
public static function getResources()
{
$resources = parent::getResources();
$resources['myresource'] = array(
'description' => '',
'class' => 'myresource'
);
ksort($resources);
return $resources;
}
}
And you need to place the Model Class in /mymodule/classes/MyResource.php
Placing the Model Class in mymodule/override/classes/Myresource.php is not correct cause there is no Myresource class to override. This will give you an error when uninstalling the module - you will not be able to uninstall it

Finally I found an alternative solution without using the native PrestaShop webservice. I created a directory called webservice in mymodule/webservice/mymodule.php. This file will be used to post data to PrestaShop's website. Here is how I did it:
<?php
$currentDirectory = str_replace('modules/mymodule/webservice/', '',
dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) . "/");
$sep = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
require_once $currentDirectory . 'config' . $sep . 'config.inc.php';
require_once $currentDirectory . 'init.php';
$hostnameIp = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if ($hostnameIp == 'AUTHORIZED_IP') {
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {
// Some code
http_response_code(200);
} else {
http_response_code(405);
}
} else {
http_response_code(403);
}
Then I just need to execute a POST request to myresource at the following url: http://mydomain/modules/mymodule/webservice/mymodule.php.
Be careful to do some validation for security, like IP address. If the validation is successful, then your do some treatment to insert or update data to mysql tables.
