Creating Responses

How to send a response from your TYPO3 Restful Api

Your REST Api endpoint can return almost anything. The nnrestapi extension will take care of converting your return value to a JSON, no matter if you pass a simple array, a Domain Model or an ObjectStorage.

If no other response header or status code is specified, the nnrestapi will create all headers for a 200 OK HTTP Response. It will also automatically send the correct CORS and Credential-headers like Access-Control-Allow-Credentials etc.

Check this section to see all default headers generated and find out how to remove or add custom headers to the response.
