Get (required) attributes from API

pwFoo

I build a module which uses the api to create / update / delete resources (posts, discussions, users,...) and try to get the (minimum) required attributes to create a new resource.

Discussions and users should work with the following minimal attributes.

Create discussion
- title
- content
- (tags optional)

Create user (but activation via api doesn't work)
- username
- email
- password

Is there a way to get the required and optional attributes by an api call?

pwFoo documented
You can call its explicitly
Go to file
/vendor/flarum/core/src/Core/Command/RegisterUserHandler.php

$user->activate();
Add this line after
$user = User::register($username, $email, $password);

It looks like we haven't documented them yet.

Until then, though, you can figure out the validation rules from the existing validator classes.

Hello @sinalkar
I won't change the source code and try to register and activate the user by an API call.

pwFoo
you are right , But for to migrate old user we have to register them without any activation mail that why i called like this

Thanks

Yes, it's a workaround and solution for user migration, but I need to build one user registration process for website and Flarum.

It's easier and more flexible to build with the used CMS / CMF. That's why Register, login (sso?) and logout should be eine via API call.

As admin you should be able to activate a user through the api. You just need to set attributes.isActivated, see:

https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/master/src/Core/Command/RegisterUserHandler.php#L128

I noticed that isActivated fails when set to false with API. See ticket #1250 on Github.

tcheko you just have to leave it out. The api request property is not copied if you look at the source code.
