Member Function Documentation

◆ applyCacheControl()

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

Apply cache control to enforce privacy.

Parameters
ResponseInterface$response

Definition at line 327 of file Handler.php.

References MediaWiki\Rest\ResponseInterface\getHeaderLine(), getRequest(), and MediaWiki\Rest\ResponseInterface\setHeader().

◆ 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.

Parameters
ResponseInterface$response

◆ 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

Returns
ResponseInterface|null

Reimplemented in MediaWiki\Rest\Handler\TransformHandler.

◆ checkSession()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::checkSession ( )

Check the session (and session provider)

Exceptions
HttpExceptionon failed check
Access: internal

Definition at line 240 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.

◆ 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

◆ 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 265 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

◆ 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.

◆ 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 600 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.

◆ getOpenApiSpec()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::getOpenApiSpec ( string  $method)

Returns an OpenAPI Operation Object specification structure as an associative array.

Subclasses may override this to provide additional information.

◆ 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().

◆ hasRepresentation()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::hasRepresentation ( )
protected

◆ needsReadAccess()

MediaWiki\Rest\Handler::needsReadAccess ( )

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 685 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.

◆ 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.
