This PR addresses the full suite of list related functions in OKAPI. At this time I will put it into draft state such that the semantics can be reviewed and possibly adjusted accordingly. Let me give some rationalization for the design pattern used:
Description:
In this design pattern, we have adopted a modular and purpose-driven approach to handle various aspects of list management within our webservices. The separation of functionality into distinct services aims to enhance maintainability, extensibility, and clarity in code structure.
1. Create, Update, Delete (CUD) Services: The CUD services (Create, Update, Delete) focus on the fundamental operations related to the creation, modification, and removal of lists. Each service is tailored to handle specific aspects of list metadata, such as name, description, and status. By isolating these operations, we promote a clean and intuitive interface for managing lists.
2. Query Service: The query service provides a dedicated functionality for retrieving information about existing lists. This separation allows for efficient and targeted retrieval of data without the need to mix concerns related to list manipulation.
3. Add and Remove Services: The addition and removal of elements from a list are encapsulated in dedicated services. This decision ensures that the core functionalities of creating and modifying lists remain focused on metadata, while adding and removing elements are treated as distinct operations.
4. Get Service: The get service is designed to fetch the elements associated with a specific list. By returning a well-formatted array of cache codes, we ensure that the response is concise and aligns with the purpose of fetching list elements.
Benefits:
Modularity: Each service encapsulates a specific set of functionalities, promoting modularity and making it easier to understand, extend, and maintain the codebase.
Clarity: The separation of concerns enhances code clarity by clearly defining the responsibilities of each service. This clarity aids in debugging, code reviews, and collaboration among developers.
Scalability: The modular design allows for easier scalability. New features or modifications can be seamlessly added to the system without disrupting existing functionalities.
Ease of Testing: Unit testing becomes more straightforward as each service can be tested independently, ensuring that changes in one area do not inadvertently affect others.
In conclusion, this design pattern aims to strike a balance between simplicity and flexibility, facilitating efficient list management within the webservice while maintaining a clear and scalable code structure. The distinct services cater to specific functionalities, providing a foundation for future enhancements and modifications.
