Islandora REST Extras

This module was originally named 'islandora_rest_ingester_extras' but was renamed 'islandora_rest_extras' on January 9, 2018.

Introduction

Utility module that provides additional functionality for Islandora's REST interface. Currently, it provides two features:

• a way to regenerate the DC of each ingested object, effectively emulating the behavior of objects ingested using Islandora's web interface or standard batch tools
• a very basic 'describe' REST endpoint that returns the server's configuration value limiting the size of the largest file that can be POSTed; the JSON returned by a requst to islandora/rest/v1/describe is like this, where 500M is the value of the server's PHP 'upload_max_filesize' configuration value:

{
   "max_datastream_file_size":"500M"
}

The /describe endpoint takes no parameters, and only returns a JSON response. If you want to modify the output of /describe, this module provides a hook to do so. See islandora_rest_extras.api.php for more information.
