Delete methods: DELETE HTTP verb

This rule enforces that all Delete RPCs use the DELETE HTTP verb, as mandated in AIP-135.

Details

This rule looks at any message matching beginning with Delete, and complains if the HTTP verb is anything other than DELETE. It does check additional bindings if they are present.

Examples

Incorrect code for this rule:

// Incorrect.
rpc DeleteBook(DeleteBookRequest) returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    post: "/v1/{name=publishers/*/books/*}"  // Should be `delete:`.
  };
}

Correct code for this rule:

// Correct.
rpc DeleteBook(DeleteBookRequest) returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    delete: "/v1/{name=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::0135::http-method=disabled
//     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
rpc DeleteBook(DeleteBookRequest) returns (google.protobuf.Empty) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    post: "/v1/{name=publishers/*/books/*}"
  };
}

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