Undelete methods: POST HTTP verb

This rule enforces that all Undelete RPCs use the POST HTTP verb, as mandated in AIP-164.

Details

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

Examples

Incorrect code for this rule:

// Incorrect.
rpc UndeleteBook(UndeleteBookRequest) returns (Book) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    get: "/v1/{name=publishers/*/books/*}:undelete"  // Should be `post:`.
  };
}

Correct code for this rule:

// Correct.
rpc UndeleteBook(UndeleteBookRequest) returns (Book) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    post: "/v1/{name=publishers/*/books/*}:undelete"
    body: "*"
  };
}

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::0164::http-method=disabled
//     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
rpc UndeleteBook(UndeleteBookRequest) returns (Book) {
  option (google.api.http) = {
    get: "/v1/{name=publishers/*/books/*}:undelete"
  };
}

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