Hi Bojan,
I want to use the REST Interface for browsing our DSpace repository by
title, date and subject. When trying to sort items I get problems with
the pagination. The _perpage parameter does not work. Using _perpage
alone has no influence on the number of retrieved items. I always get
all items. Using a combination of _perpage and _page delivers strange
results. For example, _perpage=2&_page=1 gives all items,
_perpage=4&_page=1 gives 4 items, and _perpage=4&_perpage=2 is empty.
I have two further questions:
1. The sorting process gives no information about the total number of
items in the repository. Therefore, before starting pagination I have to
request all items and count them, in order to realize the pagination.
Is there a better way to do browsing via REST?
2. The metadata of an item are presented as strings, which is not very
comfortable to handle. I would prefer to have them via tag per metadata
field. Do you plan to realize something like this?
With regards,
Marianna
