List methods: HTTP URI parent field

This rule enforces that all List RPCs map the parent field to the HTTP URI, as mandated in AIP-132.

Details

This rule looks at any message beginning with List, and complains if the parent variable is not included in the URI. It does check additional bindings if they are present.

Examples

Incorrect code for this rule:

// Incorrect.
rpc ListBooks(ListBooksRequest) returns (ListBooksResponse) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    get: "/v1/publishers/*/books"  // The `parent` field should be extracted.
  };
}

Correct code for this rule:

// Correct.
rpc ListBooks(ListBooksRequest) returns (ListBooksResponse) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    get: "/v1/{parent=publishers/*}/books"
  };
}

Disabling

If you need to violate this rule, use a leading comment above the method. Remember to also include an aip.dev/not-precedent comment explaining why.

// (-- api-linter: core::0132::http-uri-parent=disabled
//     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
rpc ListBooks(ListBooksRequest) returns (ListBooksResponse) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    get: "/v1/publishers/*/books"
  };
}

If you need to violate this rule for an entire file, place the comment at the top of the file.
