--- Comment #16 from Tomás Cohen Arazi <tomasco...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to David Cook from comment #15) > Actually, after reviewing the patches again, I think that I get the idea. > > With an interactive session, we're logging in with username, password, and > target branch. > > However, with an API session, we're logging in using only username and > password, so we don't really have any way of providing a branch. The catch is, the API is stateless. If it being used from a browser with a session cookie, then we're are all set. But the API is not designed with that only use case in mind. > So unless we require people to switch branches using an API endpoint first, > the only other option is to provide that x-koha-library header or I suppose > embed the library ID in the route like you've suggested. Switching branch using a route implies state. > I suppose an alternative would be to pass the target branch in parameters > but that would only work for certain endpoints. The header is a parameter he he. If you mean query parameters, they are expected to be used for filtering purposes in a Restful design. > Hmm feels too abstract at the moment for me to really think of concrete > examples. This dev is actually written to solve a very concrete problem we noticed with extended attributes routes. Extended attributes visibility and setability are by design (in Koha) something that depends on the current library. Look at Koha::Patron::Attributes->filter_by_branch (don't remember the exact name, on the phone). > But I suppose the patch is already pushed so it doesn't really matter > anymore heh. It does! So next time you need to write routes, you can take advantage of it! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list Koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
