Provide a link to list all the values of enum fields. [DATAREST-179]

Petar Tahchiev opened DATAREST-179 and commented

Hi guys,

in my datamodel I have an Order, and that order has enum value paymentStatus, which can be PAYED, NOT_PAYED or FRAUD_DETECTED. So SDR correctly returns the json as:

"paymentStatus" : "NOT_PAYED",

However, if I want to update the order I have to specify a correct paymentStatus, which I may not know (the code that i'm building is generic for orders, products ... ). So it would be beneficial if every enum values are added as a link, like this:

"links" : [ {
    "rel" : "paymentStatuses",
    "href" : "http://localhost:8111/rest/order/563638457675072/paymentStatuses"
},
...

so then using the RESTShell, or a browser, or whatever I can follow the link and see what the paymentStatuses are, and change it accordingly.

Affects: 2.0 M1 (Codd)
