Representing options (Radio buttons/drop-down list) #4
Description
Hi Mike,
How would you represent radio options/drop-down menu items within collection-json? My idea is to use links in items like this:
{ "collection" :
{
"version" : "1.0",
"href" : "http://example.org/friends/profile/jdoe",
"links" : [
{"rel" : "feed", "href" : "http://example.org/friends/jdoe/rss"}
],
"items" : [
{
"href" : "http://example.org/friends/profile/edit/jdoe",
"data" : [
{"name" : "Field", "value" : "Occupation", "prompt" : "Occupation"},
],
"links" : [
{"rel" : "options", "href" : "http://examples.org/field/options/occupations", "prompt" : "Available Options in occupations", "render": "link},
]
},
........
By doing this, the client requires making GET calls to the links, which increases transaction overheads. How would you go about representing it? :)
