I'm building a custom Drupal 8 Module. I created a controller with several methods and then I linked a module.routing.yml to call these methods, which receives requests via REST API from external systems and proceed them and then responds. Pretty usual use-case.



I found some implementation which uses a ResourceBase to achieve REST API endpoint. My question is, if I should create a plugin extending DrupalResourceBase class or is above described approach fine? If I understand it correctly when I create a plugin extending DrupalResouceBase I can handle only one request (specified on my "uri_paths")



Now I'm dealing with user authentication. The module enables user to create content of specified content-type, but this needs to be protected in future. So anonymous users can't view or create content. I read ResourceBase documentation and saw that it has build in user authentication.



So the final question is: Should I keep my controller to handle request (GET & POST) or should I implement it as Plugin?



If anyone could give me an example or something of 'correct' way to do this, I'd be glad.
