User login serivce in RESTful

[polinwei]

Hi Sir:

I plan to write a user login service in RESTful . The procedure is after user login , then system generate a new auth_key and return to user.
My code is below, but not work . Could you help me to point where is wrong? thanks!!

1. modules\users\BootstrapApi

// Rules for RESTful
[
	'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
	'controller' => [
		'users/default'
	],
	'extraPatterns' => [
		'POST user/login' => 'users/default/login',
	]
],

2. modules\users\controllers\api\DefaultController

class DefaultController extends ActiveController
{
    public $modelClass = 'modules\users\models\api\User';

    public function actionLogin(){
        $model = new LoginForm();
        $model->email = $_POST['email'];
        $model->password = $_POST['password'];

        if( $model->login()){
            $user = User::findByUsernameEmail($model->email);
            $user->generateAuthKey();
            $user->save();            
            return $user->getAuthKey();
        } else {
            $model->validate();
            return $model;
        }

    }

3. Url http://mysite.com/api/user/login?email=[e-mail]&password=123

Hi!
Well, for starters, you pass parameters by the method of Get and try to get from POST

3. Url http://mysite.com/api/user/login?email=[e-mail]&password=123

$model->email = $_POST['email'];
$model->password = $_POST['password'];

My version:

1. modules\users\BootstrapApi.php

public function bootstrap($app)
{
    $app->getUrlManager()->addRules(
        [
                // Rules for RESTful
                [
                    'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
                    'controller' => [
                        'users/default',
                    ],
                    'pluralize' => false,
                ],
                'GET user/login' => 'users/default/login',
                // @see http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-rest-routing.html
                //'PUT,PATCH user/<id>' => 'users/default/update',
                //'DELETE user/<id>' => 'users/default/delete',
                'GET,HEAD user/<id>' => 'users/default/view',
                //'POST user' => 'users/default/create',
                'GET,HEAD users' => 'users/default/index',
                //'user/<id>' => 'users/default/options',
                //'users' => 'users/default/options',
        ]
    );
    parent::bootstrap($app);
}

2. modules\users\controllers\api\DefaultController

//...
/**
* @return LoginForm
*/
public function actionLogin()
{
    $model = new LoginForm();
    if($model->load(Yii::$app->request->get(), '') && $model->login()) {
        $modelClass = $this->modelClass;
        $user = $modelClass::findOne(Yii::$app->user->identity->getId());
        $user->generateAuthKey();
        if($user->save())
            return 'auth_key: '. $user->auth_key;
    }
    $model->validate();
    return $model;
}
//...

We check:
http://mysite.com/api/users/login?email=[e-mail]&password=123
return new auth key: "t19TwQouZWLtNW232tqd-J3L7iHz6K6D"

I tried the rule also can work as below.

        $app->getUrlManager()->addRules(
            [
                // Rules for RESTful
                [
                    'class' => 'yii\rest\UrlRule',
                    'controller' => [
                        'users/default'
                    ],
                    'pluralize' => false,
                    'extraPatterns' => [
                        'GET login' => 'login',
                    ],
                ],
                // @see http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-rest-routing.html
                //'PUT,PATCH user/<id>' => 'users/default/update',
                //'DELETE user/<id>' => 'users/default/delete',
                'GET,HEAD user/<id>' => 'users/default/view',
                //'POST user' => 'users/default/create',
                'GET,HEAD users' => 'users/default/index',
                //'user/<id>' => 'users/default/options',
                //'users' => 'users/default/options',
            ]
        );

By the way for testing RESTful I'm using a plugin for the Mozilla Firefox browser REST Easy
