testing API extends REST_Controller codeIgniter

Hi I want to create a Restful API in codeIgniter. So I started with testing chris kacer code (https://github.com/chriskacerguis/codeigniter-restserver), but when i tape

localhost:9090/CodeIgniter/index.php/example/user/id/1

I always get this response:

{"status":false,"error":"Unknown method."}

I don't know where is the problem. i configured my routes.php

($route['default_controller'] = "example";)

and config.php

($config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost:9090/CodeIgniter/';)

and it still not working. Can anyone help me please and thank you.

Looks like you haven't included the REST library class file. If that's the case then adding the lines below should resolve your error,

// including rest api class
require APPPATH . '/libraries/REST_Controller.php';

// use namespace
use Restserver\Libraries\REST_Controller;

When working with rest_codeighniter api the controller logic is kinda different in the sense that ur "methods/public functions" in the ur controller class(the one that extends the rest_controller) are created by combining the RESOURCE name and the HTTP method(e.g get,post,put etc). therefore if ur resource name is "user" and u want to make a "get" http call, ur method/function would be declared as "public function user_get(){ //ur code here } " .
