How do I enable a REST resource for a custom content type? 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.
sorry my english is not very good

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 modules, HAL, HTTP Basic Authentication, RESTful Web Services,
Serialization, REST UI.

3) go to the path: / admin / config / services / rest

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

5) 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.

6) 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.
