Controller is the base class for RESTful API controller classes.
Controller implements the following steps in a RESTful API request handling cycle:
- Resolving response format (see yii\filters\ContentNegotiator);
- Validating request method (see verbs()).
- Authenticating user (see yii\filters\auth\AuthInterface);
- Rate limiting (see yii\filters\RateLimiter);
- Formatting response data (see serializeData()).
For more details and usage information on Controller, see the guide article on rest controllers.

Property Details
Whether to enable CSRF validation for the actions in this controller. CSRF validation is enabled only when both this property and yii\web\Request::$enableCsrfValidation are true.
The configuration for creating the serializer that formats the response data.
Method Details
This method is invoked right after an action is executed.
The method will trigger the EVENT_AFTER_ACTION event. The return value of the method will be used as the action return value.
If you override this method, your code should look like the following:
public function afterAction($action, $result)
{
$result = parent::afterAction($action, $result);
// your custom code here
return $result;
}
public mixed afterAction ( $action, $result ) | ||
$action | yii\base\Action | The action just executed. |
$result | mixed | The action return result. |
return | mixed | The processed action result. |
---|
Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.
Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.
The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:
'behaviorName' => [
'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
'property1' => 'value1',
'property2' => 'value2',
]
Note that a behavior class must extend from yii\base\Behavior. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using getBehavior() or be detached using detachBehavior(). Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.
Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).
public array behaviors ( ) | ||
return | array | The behavior configurations. |
---|
Serializes the specified data.
The default implementation will create a serializer based on the configuration given by $serializer. It then uses the serializer to serialize the given data.
protected mixed serializeData ( $data ) | ||
$data | mixed | The data to be serialized |
return | mixed | The serialized data. |
---|
Declares the allowed HTTP verbs.
Please refer to yii\filters\VerbFilter::$actions on how to declare the allowed verbs.
protected array verbs ( ) | ||
return | array | The allowed HTTP verbs. |
