So, I want to write a restful api. |
| 01:16 |
|
Arahael |
But I want to add search functionality to it - how can I do this while remaining restful? |
| 01:16 |
|
Arahael |
Or is such a search function orthogonal to rest? |

I don't think so - you'd just have a search resource that returns links to other resources. |
| 01:50 |

As orthogonal to REST? |
| 02:00 |
|
talios |
no, as REST. search is just a resource, that happens to return a representation of a query, with links to other resources. |
| 02:01 |
|
Arahael |
But that representation can change - and the client has to construct the uri? |
| 02:02 |
|
talios |
in our system for example, if we GET /api/search?s=talios we return a JSON document linking to matching documents. representations change over time - like all resources. |
| 02:02 |
|
talios |
some other resource might link to your search service with a URI-Template, i.e. Link-Template: <http://localhost/api/search{?term}>; rel="search" |
| 02:03 |
|
talios |
then the client just resolves the template provided by the link-template, indirection and freedom for the server to change its location. Sure, the rel and the template values are fixed... |
| 02:04 |
|
Arahael |
Where can I read about uri templates? |
| 02:10 |
|
Arahael |
(SPecifically, those link templates) |
| 02:10 |
|
talios |
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570 is the RFC for them |
| 02:12 |
|
Arahael |
Sweet, thanks for that. |
| 02:13 |
|
Arahael |
So my REST landing page would probably provide an index to the various resources, including the search resources, and allow the client to start navigating from there. Is that a good approach? |

Does providing an xml representation give any advantage to a REST API? |
| 02:53 |
|
talios |
over JSON? XML is harder to consume nicely from Javascript, or so I hear. |
| 02:53 |
|
talios |
I guess it depends on your target users. XML gives you DTDs/schemas you can exploit - if you care |

Hi all - I've made a load of updates to the vnd.error draft based on feedback thus far... would appreciate anyone with a little time to go through it and pick holes... https://github.com/blongden/vnd.error |
| 14:43 |
|
blongden |
It occured to me that I first created the draft over two years ago. Time flies. |

hey, a resource has prev and next (something like doubly linked list) |
| 19:45 |
|
saml |
if I PUT /resource/2, it might affect up to three resources. /resource/1, /resource/2, /resource/3 (if /resource/1 's next was /resource/3/) does it make sense? |
| 19:46 |
|
saml |
PUT becomes non-idempotent |
| 19:46 |
|
saml |
PUT /resource/2 has side effects |
| 19:47 |

saml: so maintain the order as a separate resource |
| 20:02 |
|
saml |
example? |
| 20:02 |
|
saml |
/resource-orders |
| 20:03 |
|
fumanchu_ |
sure. that can return an array or graph of links to resource/1, /2 etc.. |
| 20:04 |
|
fumanchu_ |
that also allows you a powerful separation between initialization (the PUT to resources/2) and activation (adding it to the array or graph) |
| 20:05 |
|
fumanchu_ |
and allows for multiple orders: per-user, or different indices for different needs |
| 20:19 |
|
saml |
there are over 500k resources like /resource/1 |
