How many methods can we apply under resource in raml?
In RAML, you can apply as many methods as you like under a single resource. However, there's an important caveat:
Each HTTP method can only be used once per resource.
This means you can define various functionalities for a resource using different HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, etc. But, you cannot have two methods with the same name (e.g., two GET methods) within the same resource.
Here's a breakdown:
Scenario 1 (Valid):
YAML
/users:
get:
description: Retrieve a list of users
post:
description: Create a new user
In this example, the resource /users allows both GET and POST methods for different functionalities.
Scenario 2 (Invalid):
YAML
/products:
get:
description: Retrieve a list of products
get: # This is not allowed
description: Retrieve a specific product by ID
Here, having two GET methods within the same resource is not allowed.
Here are some alternative approaches to achieve the desired functionality:
Use Path Parameters:
YAML
/products/{id}:
get:
description: Retrieve a specific product by ID
Use Query Parameters:
YAML
/products:
get:
description: Retrieve a list of products
queryParameters:
id: # Filter products based on ID
type: string
By following these guidelines, you can effectively utilize multiple methods within a RAML resource while maintaining clarity and avoiding naming conflicts.
