Answer 1

I had the same issue at the beginning, but then I realized that I was installing it wrongly.

This happened to me:

When I run composer require yidas/codeigniter-rest in application folder, I got these question:

No composer.json in current directory, do you want to use the one at C:\xampp\htdocs\ci3path? [Y,n]? n

I answered "Y", but I should have answered "n". This way, it will create a vendor folder in application, and not in ci3path.

After this, I just create a controller like this:

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

use yidas\rest\Controller;

class Resource extends Controller {
   public function index() {
      return $this->response->json(['bar' => 'foo']);
   }
}

Now it works.
