❔ Get id from query or DTO
Imagine I have the next two entities
class Task{
public int Id {get;set;}
public string Desc {get;set;}
public int AssignmentId {get;set;}
public Assignment Assignment {get;set;}
class Assignment{
public int Id {get; set;}
public ICollection<Task> Tasks {get;set;}
}
What would be the best way to POST a task to an existing assignment?
How would endpoint and incoming DTO look like?
1) /assignments/3/tasks
Receive
TaskDTO1{
string Desc
}
and assignment id to your controller method,
call service method that will retrieve assignment by the id and append a task to its task collection, then save
2) /tasks/
Receive
TaskDTO2{
string Desc,
int AssignmentId
}
in your controller method, call service method that will create a task entity, retrieve a corresponding assignment by id (AssignmentId from dto2) and fill the Task.Assignment with this assignment, then save
Which way looks better to you? Why?
class Task{
public int Id {get;set;}
public string Desc {get;set;}
public int AssignmentId {get;set;}
public Assignment Assignment {get;set;}
class Assignment{
public int Id {get; set;}
public ICollection<Task> Tasks {get;set;}
}
