<p>Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for
distributed applications, first described by Roy Fielding in his
2000 PhD dissertation, <a class="reference external" href="https://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm">Architectural Styles and
the Design of Network-based Software Architectures</a>.
That might be a bit of a dry read, and you might find Martin Fowler’s
<a class="reference external" href="https://martinfowler.com/articles/richardsonMaturityModel.html">Richardson Maturity Model</a>
a gentler introduction.</p>
<p>REST has been interpreted, and mis-interpreted, in more ways than most
software architectures, and it might be easier to say that the more
of Roy Fielding’s principles that you embrace in an architecture, the
most “RESTful” your application would be considered.</p>
<p>CodeIgniter makes it easy to create RESTful APIs for your resources,
with its resource routes and <cite>ResourceController</cite>.</p>
<div class="section" id="resource-routes">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Resource Routes</a><a class="headerlink" href="#resource-routes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You can quickly create a handful of RESTful routes for a single resource with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">resource()</span></code> method. This
creates the five most common routes needed for full CRUD of a resource: create a new resource, update an existing one,
list all of that resource, show a single resource, and delete a single resource. The first parameter is the resource
name:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$routes</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">resource</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;photos&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>

<span class="c1">// Equivalent to the following:</span>
<span class="nv">$routes</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;photos/new&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>             <span class="s1">&#39;Photos::new&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$routes</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">post</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;photos&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>                <span class="s1">&#39;Photos::create&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$routes</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">get</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;photos&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span>                 <span class="s1">&#39;Photos::index&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
