If I have an entity called job
and there are logs
associated with that job
, would those logs
be considered a relationship resource object and would the relationship self
link reference the relationship resource or the “related” resource? If we had a /jobs/123/relationships/logs
resource, would it only support GET
to retrieve a list of logs references?
Current Resources:
- A
job
is fetched like GET /jobs/123
- Job logs are fetch via
GET /jobs/123/logs
Thanks!
Trying to pick apart some stuff with this.
The self link should refer to the link context in the document which resulted in the message. Meaning the self link will refer to the relationship link from the main resource, using the path example you included /jobs/123/relationships/logs
.
The related link should point to the canonical URI for the resource, which should probably NOT be a sub resource of /jobs
if you have any other resources which may also have a log. However, if it is truly a sub resource then the related link should be /jobs/123/logs/
as stated.
Nothing in the spec requires all resources to support all methods, so supporting whatever methods you want is no problem.
