I am testing boilerplate library for dotnet core with json:api specification from github repo {json:api}. The endpoints for GET (with or without query), POST & DELETE are working as expected when I send from postman. But I couldn't find working examples to change the existing resource with PUT or PATCH. When i send patch request with data, it give me back response "200 OK" but it didn't change in database. Below are my request and response.
Request GET : http://localhost:5000/api/people -> 200 OK Response : [ { "name": "Samuel", "articles": null, "id": 2, "stringId": "2" }, { "name": "John", "articles": null, "id": 3, "stringId": "3" }, { "name": "Robbin", "articles": null, "id": 4, "stringId": "4" } ] Request GET: http://localhost:5000/api/people/2 -> 200 OK Response : { "name": "Samuel", "articles": null, "id": 2, "stringId": "2" } Request GET: http://localhost:5000/api/people/2?include=articles -> 200 OK Response : { "name": "Samuel", "articles": [], "id": 2, "stringId": "2" } Request POST: http://localhost:5000/api/people -> 201 Created Request Body: {"name":"Samuel"} Response : { "name": "Samuel", "articles": null, "id": 2, "stringId": "2" } Request DELETE: http://localhost:5000/api/people/2 -> 204 No Content
How can I update data?
I made a final decision after reading specification documents of JSONAPI and OData. I will just stick to my own format for better understanding of my own code and I recommend Swagger for Api Documentation. It doesn't make sense if the spec doesn't meet my requirement even when people are telling it's the standard.
