GET data solution_exercise_title (_type and _lang)

[just-Jana]

I want to display the title (and probably the type and language) of the exercise to which a solution belongs. May I get these information by the solutions GET-request?

So you want this by sending one request to the API? By now this is possible by sending another GET request to the /exercise endpoint

No, you have to take the solution_exercise and perform a GET request at the /exercise endpoint with this value as the exercise_id.

The problem is, that you had to perform this GET request for every single element of a solution list, which is highly inefficient. A better approach would be to send the data in the same format as exercise sends it. By sending solution_exercise_value and solution_exercise_name no additional requests would be required.

That's why most programming languages have loops.

Anyway, there is a way to allow one argument being passed multiple times in the URL. Should look something like this exercise_id=1&exercise_id=2&exercise_id=3. We could then query the database for all these values and return all results. You would only need one GET request to the endpoint. Would this suit your needs?

I can try doing this, thanks for your ideas on that :)

Wait... have you already implemented this or offered to do this?

I have not yet implemented this feature. I can get a prototype ready till monday.
