@antosik excellent. Thanks very much.
Is there a full CRUD Api in the vision?
-
Just wondering what the vision is for this. It would be great to be able to use a REST api for unlimited integration with other services. We want to use NodeBB for our business but we require integration with our CMS - things like user management and statistics. The most flexible way I can see is a full CRUD api.
-
NodeBB is built on a REST API, you can add /api/ after the relative url. So this topic would be:
https://community.nodebb.org/api/topic/2412/is-there-a-full-crud-api-in-the-vision
-
I thought that this didn't include writing to the db as well as reading - would be very happy to be wrong on this one!
-
@babaggeii No, we don't have a write-enabled API yet, but I am working on it.
I'm blocked by gh#2082, but that's very much my fault
closed CSRF should be a middleware #2082
-
@julian excellent news. Best of luck.
-
@julian What is the planned extent of the write-API? I'm just thinking about how to go about integrating our website and booking system into nodeBB (we're using it to deliver discussion-based courses).
Ideally we'd have a full complement of elements (users, categories, sub-categories, permissions, roles, etc.) so that we can manage it all automatically from our system, but I'm not sure what's in the roadmap for this.
-
Ideally, I'd like to introduce feature parity between the write API and NodeBB itself. I suppose for demonstration purposes, the initial release will only support topic and post creation, but it should be easy to extend this to cover everything else.
-
@julian Sounds good - how high up the list of priorities is this?
-
@julian Was the write-enabled REST API ever implemented?
-
"There's a plugin for that"
-
@julian Any update on this feature?
Thanks.
-
@esfandiar Yes, take a look at the write API plugin.
