Help/feature request

I'm writing a new generator for Spring and JSON-API. I'm using the https://github.com/jasminb/jsonapi-converter to generate JSON-API from our models.

JSON-API requires an ID in the payload, the jsonapi-converter uses its @Id annotation to specify which field should be used as the ID in the payload.

Currently I have this hacked solution in place:

        if( property.baseName.endsWith("FOO") ) {
            property.example = "true";
        }

    {{#example}}@Id{{/example}}
    private {{{datatypeWithEnum}}} {{name}} = {{{defaultValue}}};

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

@adhamhf not sure if I understand it correctly, do you mean JSON-API requires @Id in all the payload/object?

[adhamhf]

@wing328 yes, it requires id ( not @id that's just the java annotation ) when you are reading, updating or deleting objects. It is not required for creating new objects.

@adhamhf another way I can think of is using vendor extensions with customized templates.

1. Add vendor extension to the property in the spec (e.g. "x-jsonapi-id")
2. Customize the template as follows

   {{#example}}@Id{{/example}}
   private {{{datatypeWithEnum}}} {{name}} = {{{defaultValue}}};

3. Use the customized templates with the "-t" command
