As a Data Browser user I want that the data coming from referenced calls are marked, to understand which calls I have to do to get the data I see.

The Data Browser user should be notified about the data that are shown in the Table or Detail view, but are not included in the original JSON but are coming from a second API call (e.g. the municipality name that comes from a second call to the municipality API). This issue includes:

• the implementation of a switcher that activates/deactivates the rendering of referenced data coming form additional calls;
• the mark of the data that are coming from additional calls;
• the rendering in the export menu tab the list of API calls needed to render all data shown.

Hi @gappc 😊

I'm trying to understand how to determine if an attribute should be considered referenced. Where can I find this information? I’ve noticed that some fields have a "Self" property in the API response. Should I use this value in the view and base the referenced value on it?

Thanks!

Hi @a-crea

I think that there is no real criteria in the API response / OpenAPI declaration, that shows when a field is referenced - at least not as of now. @RudiThoeni maybe the Self property is such one?

Be that as it may, my first idea was to use the dataset configuration and then have one or many components like the InputReferenceCell. That component knows how to load and show referenced data.

When e.g. the TableView sees that a column should be rendered with one of those dedicated components, it can apply a special color / border / ... to that column. Same goes for the DetailView / EditView.

You should also be able to infer from the configuration if there is any field / column at all that is a referenced value and which fields those are. That should enable you to render additional information e.g. in the Toolbox.

I hope you got the idea, how does it sound to you? Let me know if you have any further question or if you want to discuss solutions in a meeting :+1:

@gappc here we need a meeting with Rudi, to finalize everything. Do I'm right?
