Description
First thanks for the sweet framework, my team and I are big fans of grape. And perhaps this a good opportunity to contribute back.
I was however unable to find any additional information related to the ability to change params required/optional state at runtime/request time.
The use case is that the API based off some values in the request can dynamically enforce optional vs required behavior. Namely a request that looks something like this
{
"required" : "param1,param2,param3",
...
}
As far as I can tell this is currently not possible? Maybe hooking into the pre_validation block?
Could this be added as a validation feature? Perhaps a new type called dynamic that has some matching/parsing convention that can be user defined
Thanks!
