Re: [xwiki-devs] [vote] improvements for the REST api

While working on a prototype on a HTML5 mobile and desktop application I've hit a few limitations of the REST APIs. This is why I propose some enhancements to the current REST APIs to give more flexibility, particularly: Support for start and order parameter in queries returning large list of pages Support order parameter in page list Adding page version, author information and data information when missing Hidden documents filter activation or deactivation in REST APIs Adding pretty display of title and author names Support queries using XWQL, HQL and Lucene The rendered content should be accessible from REST apis The details of the proposal is here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/RESTApiImprovements A pull request for a prototype implementation of these requirements is available here: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/56/files#r1040052 Not everything has an implementation (hidden docs and rendered content is not implemented yet). Other are not implementing according to this specification as some comments have already been made. Particularly the following votes are required: VOTE to accept supporting "start" and "order" parameters only on queries having only one unique scope VOTE in search queries for just adding the descendent date order or add more order possibilities using order and orderdir param VOTE in page list queries for just adding the descendent date order or add more order possibilities using order and orderdir param VOTE to add page version and author fields to page and other resources VOTE for adding the additional fields with or without a parameter "pagedetails=1" VOTE for adding a parameter to show/hide hidden documents independent of user setting VOTE to add the displayTitle field with or without the pagedetails=1 parameter or with it's own parameter displayTitle=1 VOTE to add the author display names with or without the displayPrettyNames parameter VOTE for supporting the searchQuery API at the wiki level with multi wiki support at the lucene level VOTE for adding rendered content using the withrenderedcontent=1 param VOTE for having absolute URLs in the rendered content using withabsoluteurls=1 param Thanks Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost Founder and CEO Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
