- Open PRs: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22REST+API+v7%22+sort%3Aupdated-desc
- Merged PRs:
- In Progress tickets / PRs:
- Tickets / PRs requiring review:
- REST Contract tickets blocking other work (High Priority to get unblocked)
- Request to use Spring Data REST "text-uri/list" to manage links between objects (Resources: https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#repository-resources.association-resource and https://www.baeldung.com/spring-data-rest-relationships)
- https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract/pull/34
- https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract/pull/35
- https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract/pull/41
- ACTION: Tim Donohue will reach out to Andrea Bollini (4Science)to understand whether we can move forward with parameters for now, and update this contract/implementation later. It's unclear to the team why these three tickets are blocked for Spring Data REST alignment, while others that involve links/associations (e.g. PR#37 (Item CRUD) and PR#38 (Metadata Registry)) were approved.
- Should we consider fixing all these implementations to better align with Spring Data REST recommendations (perhaps in a future Ticket/PR)?
- ACTION: We need to better document the requirements / best practices for our REST API. Currently alignment with Spring Data REST is not mentioned in our REST Contract README: https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract/blob/master/README.md
- Request to use Spring Data REST "text-uri/list" to manage links between objects (Resources: https://docs.spring.io/spring-data/rest/docs/current/reference/html/#repository-resources.association-resource and https://www.baeldung.com/spring-data-rest-relationships)
