Batch Delete methods: Resource field

This rule enforces that all BatchDelete methods have a repeated field in the soft-delete response message for the resource itself, as mandated in AIP-235.

Details

This rule looks at any message matching BatchDelete*Response and complains if there is no repeated field of the resource’s type with the expected field name.

Examples

Incorrect code for this rule:

// Incorrect.
message BatchDeleteBooksResponse {
  // `repeated Book books` is missing.
}

// Incorrect.
message BatchDeleteBooksResponse {
  Book books = 1;  // Field should be repeated.
}

Correct code for this rule:

// Correct.
message BatchDeleteBooksResponse {
  repeated Book books = 1;
}

Disabling

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

// (-- api-linter: core::0235::response-resource-field=disabled
//     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
message BatchDeleteBooksResponse {
  // `repeated Book books` is missing.
}

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