Some documentation showing how to exposing a resource with "title name/index" [DATAREST-800]

Christian Bongiorno opened DATAREST-800 and commented

I am using spring-data-rest + hal browser by importing the dependency.

It seems to work well enough but there doesn't seem to ba a way to provide details to:

"title | name/index | docs"

In the links section of the browser. I assume these can be discovered resources but quite a bit of sniffing around isn't finding it

Having spent more time on this I am flagging it as a bug because the the controller used to provide the HAL link data doesn't even produce what is needed:

GET /hal HTTP/1.1

{
  "_links" : {
    "schedules" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost:9090/hal/schedules{?page,size,sort}",
      "templated" : true
    },
    "certifications" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost:9090/hal/certifications{?page,size,sort}",
      "templated" : true
    },
    "organizations" : {
      "href" : "http://localhost:9090/hal/organizations{?page,size,sort}",
      "templated" : true
    }
  }
}

I am looking at RepositoryController.listRepositories() and following through this code and there is no property at all being exposed for "title" or "name" or "docs". I imagine "Docs" could be exposed as a org.springframework.data.rest.core.annotation.Description on the repository.

See: org.springframework.hateoas.ResourceSupport

Maybe it's not a bug? Maybe it's a feature request. I see your name on the code so I will let you decide

Affects: 2.4.2 (Gosling SR2)
