Member Function Documentation

◆ applyConditionalResponseHeaders()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::applyConditionalResponseHeaders ( ResponseInterface $response )

Apply verifier headers to the response, per RFC 7231 §7.2.

This is called after execute() returns.

For GET and HEAD requests, the default behavior is to set the ETag and Last-Modified headers based on the values returned by getETag() and getLastModified() when they were called before execute() was run.

Other request methods are assumed to be state-changing, so no headers will be set per default.

This may be overridden to modify the verifier headers sent in the response. However, handlers that modify the resource's state would typically just set the ETag and Last-Modified headers in the execute() method.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

ResponseInterface $response

Definition at line 291 of file Handler.php.

◆ checkPreconditions()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::checkPreconditions ( )

Check the conditional request headers and generate a response if appropriate.

This is called by the Router before execute() and may be overridden.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: ResponseInterface|null

Definition at line 261 of file Handler.php.

◆ checkSession()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::checkSession ( )

Check the session (and session provider)

Exceptions

HttpException on failed check

Access: internal

Definition at line 216 of file Handler.php.

◆ execute()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::execute ( )

abstract

Execute the handler.

This is called after parameter validation. The return value can either be a Response or any type accepted by ResponseFactory::createFromReturnValue().

To automatically construct an error response, execute() should throw a \MediaWiki\Rest\HttpException. Such exceptions will not be logged like a normal exception.

If execute() throws any other kind of exception, the exception will be logged and a generic 500 error page will be shown.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: mixed

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\SimpleHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\UserContributionsHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\TransformHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\SearchHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\ParsoidHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\ContributionsCountHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\CompareHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\ActionModuleBasedHandler.

◆ getAuthority()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getAuthority ( )

Get the current acting authority.

The return type declaration causes it to raise a fatal error if init() has not yet been called.

Since: 1.36

Returns: Authority

Definition at line 157 of file Handler.php.

◆ getBodyValidator()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getBodyValidator ( $contentType )

Fetch the BodyValidator.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

string $contentType Content type of the request.

Returns: BodyValidator

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\UpdateHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\CreationHandler.

Definition at line 325 of file Handler.php.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Rest\Validator\Validator\validateBody().

◆ getConditionalHeaderUtil()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getConditionalHeaderUtil ( )

protected

Get a ConditionalHeaderUtil object.

On the first call to this method, the object will be initialized with validator values by calling getETag(), getLastModified() and hasRepresentation().

Returns: ConditionalHeaderUtil

Definition at line 241 of file Handler.php.

References MediaWiki\Rest\ConditionalHeaderUtil\setValidators().

◆ getConfig()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getConfig ( )

Get the configuration array for the current route.

The return type declaration causes it to raise a fatal error if init() has not been called.

Returns: array

Definition at line 168 of file Handler.php.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\AbstractContributionHandler\postInitSetup(), and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\SearchHandler\postInitSetup().

◆ getETag()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getETag ( )

protected

The subclass should override this to provide an ETag for the current state of the requested resource.

This is called before execute() in order to decide whether to send a 304. If the request is going to change the state of the resource, the ETag returned must represent the state before the change. In other words, it must identify the entity that the change is going to be applied to.

For GET and HEAD requests, this ETag will also be included in the response.

Handlers that modify the resource and want to return an ETag header representing the new state in the response should set the header in the execute() method. However, note that responses to PUT requests must not return an ETag unless the new content of the resource is exactly the data that was sent by the client in the request body.

This must be a complete ETag, including double quotes. See RFC 7231 §7.2 and RFC 7232 §2.3 for semantics.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: string|null

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHistoryHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaLinksHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaFileHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\LanguageLinksHandler.

Definition at line 424 of file Handler.php.

◆ getHookContainer()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getHookContainer ( )

protected

Get a HookContainer, for running extension hooks or for hook metadata.

Since: 1.35

Returns: HookContainer

Definition at line 358 of file Handler.php.

◆ getHookRunner()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getHookRunner ( )

protected

Get a HookRunner for running core hooks.

Access: internal: This is for use by core only. Hook interfaces may be removed without notice.

Since: 1.35

Returns: HookRunner

Definition at line 370 of file Handler.php.

◆ getLastModified()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getLastModified ( )

protected

The subclass should override this to provide the maximum last modified timestamp of the requested resource.

This is called before execute() in order to decide whether to send a 304. If the request is going to change the state of the resource, the time returned must represent the last modification date before the change. In other words, it must provide the timestamp of the entity that the change is going to be applied to.

For GET and HEAD requests, this value will automatically be included in the response in the Last-Modified header.

Handlers that modify the resource and want to return a Last-Modified header representing the new state in the response should set the header in the execute() method.

See RFC 7231 §7.2 and RFC 7232 §2.3 for semantics.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: bool|string|int|float|DateTime|null

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHistoryHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHistoryCountHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaLinksHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaFileHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\LanguageLinksHandler.

Definition at line 396 of file Handler.php.

◆ getParamSettings()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getParamSettings ( )

Fetch ParamValidator settings for parameters.

Every setting must include self::PARAM_SOURCE to specify which part of the request is to contain the parameter.

Can be used for validating parameters inside an application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data POST body (i.e. parameters which would be present in PHP's $_POST array). For validating other kinds of request bodies, override getBodyValidator().

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: array[] Associative array mapping parameter names to ParamValidator settings arrays

Definition at line 146 of file Handler.php.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Rest\SimpleHandler\execute().

◆ getResponseFactory()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getResponseFactory ( )

		$queryParams = `[]`
	)

protected

Get the URL of this handler's endpoint.

Supports the substitution of path parameters, and additions of query parameters.

This will raise a fatal error if init() has not been called.

Returns: Session

Definition at line 190 of file Handler.php.

◆ getValidatedBody()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getValidatedBody ( )

Returns: mixed Value returned by the body validator, or null if validate() was not called yet, validation failed, there was no body, or the body was form data.

Definition at line 348 of file Handler.php.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\CreationHandler\getActionModuleParameters(), MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\UpdateHandler\getActionModuleParameters(), and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\CreationHandler\getTitleParameter().

Returns: array Array mapping parameter names to validated values

Exceptions

Definition at line 336 of file Handler.php.

◆ hasRepresentation()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::hasRepresentation ( )

protected

The subclass should override this to indicate whether the resource exists.

This is used for wildcard validators, for example "If-Match: *" fails if the resource does not exist.

In a state-changing request, the return value of this method should reflect the state before the requested change is applied.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: bool|null

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHistoryHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaLinksHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaFileHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\LanguageLinksHandler.

◆ init()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::init	(	Router	$router,
		RequestInterface	$request,
		array	$config,
		Authority	$authority,
		ResponseFactory	$responseFactory,
		HookContainer	$hookContainer,
		Session	$session
	)

final

Initialise with dependencies from the Router.

This is called after construction.

Parameters

Router	$router
RequestInterface	$request
array	$config
Authority	$authority
ResponseFactory	$responseFactory
HookContainer	$hookContainer
Session	$session

Access: internal

Definition at line 75 of file Handler.php.

References MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\postInitSetup().

◆ needsReadAccess()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::needsReadAccess ( )

Indicates whether this route requires read rights.

The handler should override this if it does not need to read from the wiki. This is uncommon, but may be useful for login and other account management APIs.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: bool

Definition at line 455 of file Handler.php.

◆ needsWriteAccess()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::needsWriteAccess ( )

Indicates whether this route requires write access.

The handler should override this if the route does not need to write to the database.

This should return true for routes that may require synchronous database writes. Modules that do not need such writes should also not rely on primary database access, since only read queries are needed and each primary DB is a single point of failure.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: bool

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\SearchHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHistoryHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHistoryCountHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaLinksHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\MediaFileHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\LanguageLinksHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\EditHandler.

◆ postInitSetup()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::postInitSetup ( )

protected

The handler can override this to do any necessary setup after init() is called to inject the dependencies.

Stability: stable: to override

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\SearchHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\AbstractContributionHandler.

Definition at line 501 of file Handler.php.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\init().

◆ postValidationSetup()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::postValidationSetup ( )

protected

The handler can override this to do any necessary setup after validate() has been called.

This gives the handler an opportunity to do initialization based on parameters before pre-execution calls like getLastModified() or getETag().

Stability: stable: to override

Since: 1.36

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionSourceHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\RevisionHTMLHandler, MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageSourceHandler, and MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\PageHTMLHandler.

Definition at line 512 of file Handler.php.

◆ requireSafeAgainstCsrf()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::requireSafeAgainstCsrf ( )

Indicates whether this route can be accessed only by session providers safe vs csrf.

The handler should override this if the route must only be accessed by session providers that are safe against csrf.

A return value of false does not necessarily mean the route is vulnerable to csrf attacks. It means the route can be accessed by session providers that are not automatically safe against csrf attacks, so the possibility of csrf attacks must be considered.

Stability: stable: to override

Returns: bool

Definition at line 491 of file Handler.php.

◆ urlEncodeTitle()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::urlEncodeTitle ( $title )

protected

URL-encode titles in a "pretty" way.

Keeps intact ;$!*(),~: (urlencode does not, but wfUrlencode does). Encodes spaces as underscores (wfUrlencode does not). Encodes slashes (wfUrlencode does not, but keeping them messes with REST paths). Encodes pluses (this is not necessary, and may change).

See also: wfUrlencode

Parameters

string $title

Returns: string

Definition at line 129 of file Handler.php.

References $title.

Referenced by MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\CreationHandler\mapActionModuleResponse().

◆ validate()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::validate ( Validator $restValidator )

Validate the request parameters/attributes and body.

If there is a validation failure, a response with an error message should be returned or an HttpException should be thrown.

Stability: stable: to override

Parameters

Validator $restValidator

Exceptions

HttpException On validation failure.

Member Data Documentation

◆ PARAM_SOURCE

const MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::PARAM_SOURCE = 'rest-param-source'

(string) ParamValidator constant to specify the source of the parameter.

Value must be 'path', 'query', or 'post'. 'post' refers to application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data encoded parameters in the body of a POST request (in other words, parameters in PHP's $_POST). For other kinds of POST parameters, such as JSON fields, use BodyValidator instead of ParamValidator.
