Getting started with Routes and Controllers

Kvothe

Hey,
I'm trying to get started with Flarum Extensions and am a bit stuck right now.
So basically I'm working through the documentation and currently am at the routes segment.

I set up a very basic extension using ReFlars extension Generator and added 2 things: The HelloWorldController from the Docs and a route directing at it.

But if I try visiting the route I always get an error 500.

It seems very similiar to this thread but I think I did everything that was explained there. I use a path respository like it's explained in the docs and the autoload key should be this part, that's automatically done by ReFlars Generator, right?:
"autoload": { "psr-4": { "Kvothe\\FlarumApiTest\\": "src/" } },

Here's the code I tried it with: https://github.com/oaklinq/FlarumApiTest

I'd appreciate your help.

You have "mapped" Kvote\FlarumApiTest namespace to src/, then every folder is an addition to the namespace as per psr-4, so your HelloWorldController would need the namespace declaration:

namespace Kvote\FlarumApiTest\Api\Controllers;

You are actually using the correct namespace in your extend.php already.

luceos That works. Thank you, especially since a lot of your older posts already helped me a lot wrapping my head around this. You're doing fantastic work here. 😃

Kvothe I'm glad my previous articles and answer are helpful, I'd love to see what you build in due time. If there's anything else, our discord chat has an extend channel dedicated to extension developers.
