在Drupal 7中使用RESTful模块创建用户API

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to create a RESTful API to CRUD the users of a Drupal 7 instance. It would be preferred to use the following module because other parts of the site uses it: https://github.com/RESTful-Drupal/restful If there's a better restful module out there I would be willing to give it a shot.

The documentation shows a little bit of how to use it with articles. What do I need to change to users? Is there a tutorial out there I can follow?

You will get more joy and it will be more secure if you make your own end point in a module, just for registering users.

First, in your module's .module file, make use of the hook_menu function

/*
 * hook_menu
 */
function yourmodule_menu() {
    $items['yourmodule/user/register'] = array(
        'page callback' => 'yourmodule_user_register',
        'access arguments' => array('access content'),
    );
    return $items;
}

Then create the callback function:

/*
 * hook_menu page callback
 */
function yourmodule_user_register() {

    // if you want to send the payload using content type 'application/json'
    $json = file_get_contents('php://input');
    $obj = json_decode($json);
    // otherwise use $_POST

    // if you have autoloader set up
    $register = new YourmoduleUserRegister($obj);
    // otherwise add in your logic here to validate and save user data

}

Once you have validated your user data, using the drupal API methods user_load_by_mail() and user_load_by_name(), use user_save() to register the user. You can whitelist origin URLs and do other security things here too.
