I've created a bunch of custom content types like "Car Makes" and "Car Models", but I can't seem to figure out how to enable a REST resource for them. In my REST settings page, I see the default content, content type, user, user registration enabled and a lot of disabled types below it. This list doesn't contain any of my custom created types.

If I go to the permissions page, under "RESTful Web Services", I only see "Administer REST resource configuration" and "Access POST on User registration resource". How can I enable "Car Makes" as a REST resource and directly GET/POST with it?

I saw this screenshot, but I don't get anything like this in Drupal 8.4:

In this screenshot, Todo is a custom resource, which requires writing a plugin. Do I have to write a plugin module just to expose each of my custom content types in REST?

I can work directly with the content endpoints, i.e. POST /node/123, but I would like to POST /carmakes, for example.

If you want to access these types of content separately, you must do the following:

  1. download the module restui: https://www.drupal.org/project/restui/releases/8.x-1.x-dev

  2. Go to Extend, activate the modules, HAL, HTTP Basic Authentication, RESTful Web Services, Serialization, and REST UI.

  3. go to / admin / config / services / rest

  4. Edit the RESOURCE NAME Content, and mark all the checkboxes.

  5. Then you should perform a test in the browser with the following path: drupal8 / node / 1? _format = json

note: if the information is displayed, it means that the rest server is set correctly.

  1. Create a view and select the type of content you want to display and in the "REST EXPORT SETTINGS" section mark the "Provide a REST export" checkbox and in "REST export path" type "car_makes".

This way if you go to the route: / drupal8 / en / car_makes you will see that it will show the information in json format.

  • I have already done this. It is only for viewing the resource. I would also like to POST, PATCH and DELETE this resource.

  • You can use the gerenal view "/ drupal8 / car_makes" to display the content related to this type of content. To do the "post, get, path, delete" you must use the path: "drupal8 / node / 1? _format = json" I made a video in Spanish, in which I do the "post, get, path delete". The video has a subtitle in English. youtube.com/… Oct 26, 2017 at 15:15

    That's the same as the answer above.
