dynamic resource publishing in restbed

I am using restbed. I have an endpoint where a user can request (POST) to create a new resource. Once this endpoint is called, I would like to publish the resource under a new URI and return it to user, so that he/she can access it.

How should I proceed to achieve dynamic resource publishing in restbed?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Currently we've not implemented this feature. It is however on our road map for the near future.

    Please feel free to have a crack at implementing and submitting a pull-request.

    Top of my head steps required

    1. Remove runtime checking from Service::publish and Service::suppress.
    2. In a thread safe manner update the Service::m_resources.

    If you open a ticket as 'Runtime modifications' we can further discuss this feature.
