Delete methods: Name field

This rule enforces that all Delete standard methods have a string name field in the request message, as mandated in AIP-135.

Details

This rule looks at any message matching Delete*Request and complains if either the name field is missing, or if it has any type other than string.

Examples

Incorrect code for this rule:

// Incorrect.
message DeleteBookRequest {
  string book = 1;  // Field name should be `name`.
}

// Incorrect.
message DeleteBookRequest {
  bytes name = 1;  // Field type should be `string`.
}

Correct code for this rule:

// Correct.
message DeleteBookRequest {
  string name = 1;
}

Disabling

If you need to violate this rule, use a leading comment above the message (if the name field is missing) or above the field (if it is the wrong type). Remember to also include an aip.dev/not-precedent comment explaining why.

// (-- api-linter: core::0135::request-name-field=disabled
//     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
message DeleteBookRequest {
  string book = 1;
}

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