SUBCLASSING
To change how the API provides access to the data in your database, you can create a custom controller. To do so, you should extend this class and override the desired methods to provide the desired functionality.
package MyApp::Controller::CustomYancyAPI;
use Mojo::Base 'Yancy::Controller::Yancy::API';
sub list_items {
my ( $c ) = @_;
return unless $c->openapi->valid_input;
my $items = $c->yancy->backend->list( $c->stash( 'collection' ) );
return $c->render(
status => 200,
openapi => $items,
);
}
package main;
use Mojolicious::Lite;
push @{ app->routes->namespaces }, 'MyApp::Controller';
plugin Yancy => {
api_controller => 'CustomYancyAPI',
};
For an example, you could extend this class to add authorization based on your own requirements.
