Provides a REST endpoint to query the site's navigation tree
Project description
This Plone plugin provides a REST endpoint to query the site’s navigation tree. The endpoint name is @navigationtree, and can be considered an extension to plone.restapi’s @navigation endpoint, since the latter only returns the top level navigation menu items. collective.restapi.navigationtree depends on the webcouturier.dropdownmenu plugin to build the navigation tree, and honors the same configuration settings as webcouturier.dropdownmenu. Thus, the maximum depth of the tree can be set in the webcouturier.dropdownmenu configlet.
Tested on Plone 4.3, 5.0 and 5.1 with Archetypes and Dexterity.
Features
Simply GET @navigationtree
Extends the @navigation endpoint of plone.restapi by building a full navigation tree of the site, instead of limiting itself to just the top level navigation menu.
Depends on webcouturier.dropdownmenu, thus is ideal for sites that already use this plugin for their navigation menu.
Honors all the configuration settings in Plone’s _Navigation_ control panel.
Honors all the configuration settings in @@dropdown-controlpanel.
In particular, you can set the depth of the navigation tree in webcouturier.dropdownmenu’s configlet.
Examples
Getting the navigation tree:
GET /plone/@navigationtree HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/json Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46c2VjcmV0
(Authorization is optional.)
Example response:
{ "@id": "http://localhost:8080/Plone/@navigationtree", "items": [ { "@id": "http://localhost:8080/Plone", "description": "", "items": "", "title": "Home" }, { "@id": "http://localhost:8080/Plone/news", "description": "Site News", "items": [ { "@id": "http://localhost:8080/Plone/news/some-news", "description": "", "title": "Some News" } ], "title": "News" }, { "@id": "http://localhost:8080/Plone/events", "description": "Site Events", "items": [], "title": "Events" }, { "@id": "http://localhost:8080/Plone/Members", "description": "Site Users", "items": [], "title": "Users" } ] }
Installation
Install collective.restapi.navigationtree by adding it to your buildout:
[buildout] ... eggs = collective.restapi.navigationtree
and then running bin/buildout. This will automatically install webcouturier.dropdownmenu and plone.restapi, so you should pin the versions of these add-ons according to the version of Plone you are running.
