Basic GET example

Here is a basic example of

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

use chriskacerguis\RestServer\RestController;

class Example extends REST_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {
        // Construct the parent class
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function users_get()
    {
        // Users from a data store e.g. database
        $users = [
            ['id' => 1, 'name' => 'John', 'email' => '[email protected]'],
            ['id' => 2, 'name' => 'Jim', 'email' => '[email protected]'],
        ];

        $id = $this->get('id');

        if ($id === null)
        {
            // Check if the users data store contains users
            if ($users)
            {
                // Set the response and exit
                $this->response($users, 200);
            }
            else
            {
                // Set the response and exit
                $this->response([
                    'status' => false,
                    'message' => 'No users were found'
                ], 404);
            }
        }
    }
}
