php Restler Routes - php

Question

I am using Restler 2.0 and I'm trying to add a new route based on the CRUD example
$o['GET']['author/:name/:email']=array (
'class_name' => 'Author',
'method_name' => 'getLogin',
'arguments' =>
array (
'name' => 0,
'email' => 1,
),
'defaults' =>
array (
0 => NULL,
1 => NULL,
),
'metadata' =>
array (
),
'method_flag' => 0,
);
when I make the url call in the browser http://[host]/author/[name to pull]/[email to pull]
I get the following error:
{
"error": {
"code": 404,
"message": "Not Found"
}
}
my author code has been updated with the following method
function getLogin($name=NULL,$email=NULL) {
print "in author, getting login";
return $this->dp->getLogin($name,$email);
}
I am stumped.

Luracast Restler Auto Routing
Firstly, routes.php is auto generated when you run Restler in production mode
$r = new Restler(TRUE);
which will be overwritten when we call
$r->refreshCache();
or run it in debug mode, so it should not be hand coded.
Restler 2.0 is using auto mapping which is better explained in the updated CRUD Example.
Corrected version of your method should be
function get($name=NULL,$email=NULL) {
print "in author, getting login";
return $this->dp->getLogin($name,$email);
}
which will map to
GET /author/:email/:password
where as your method is currently mapping to
GET /author/login/:email/:password
Luracast Restler Custom Routing
Also note that you can use PHPDoc comment to create custom mappings and you can add more than one. For example
/*
* #url GET /custom/mapping/:name/:email
* #url GET /another/:name/:email
*/
function get($name=NULL,$email=NULL) {
print "in author, getting login";
return $this->dp->getLogin($name,$email);
}
this will create the following routes, and disable auto routing for that method.
GET /author/custom/mapping/:email/:password
GET /author/another/:email/:password
