Interface ResourceInterface.
The interface for data management via RESTful APIs using all correct HTTP methods to manage a resource.
Note: If a resource needs more than one parameter to get URL path information provided by placeholders, in addition to $id, do not implement this interface. But this interface can be a reference because its method names are used in RouteCollection::resource().
