# Group Basic Objects
|
|
|
|
# Links
|
|
|
|
Links to other resources in the API are represented uniformly by so called link objects.
|
|
|
|
## Local Properties
|
|
|
|
| Property | Description | Type | Required | Nullable | Default |
|
|
|:---------:| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- |:--------:|:--------:| ----------- |
|
|
| href | URL to the referenced resource (might be relative) | String | ✓ | ✓ | |
|
|
| title | Representative label for the resource | String | | | |
|
|
| templated | If true the `href` contains parts that need to be replaced by the client | Boolean | | | false |
|
|
| method | The HTTP verb to use when requesting the resource | String | | | GET |
|
|
| payload | The payload to send in the request to achieve the desired result | String | | | unspecified |
|
|
|
|
All link objects *must* contain the `href` property, though it might be `null`. Thus the following is a valid
|
|
link object:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"href": null
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
whereas `{ }` is not a valid link object. The meaning of `"href": null` is that **no** resource is referenced.
|
|
For example a work package without an assignee will still have an assignee link, but its `href` will be `null`.
|
|
|
|
If a `title` is present, the client can display the title to the user when referring to the resource.
|
|
|
|
Templated links are links that contain client replaceable parts. Replaceable parts are enclosed in braces. For example
|
|
the link `api/v3/example/{id}` is not complete in itself, but the client needs to replace the string `{id}` itself.
|
|
As of now the API does not indicate the valid replacement values.
|
|
|
|
The `method` indicates which HTTP verb the client *must* use when following the link for the intended purpose.
|
|
|
|
If a `payload` is specified, it needs to be sent as the body of the request to achieve the desired result (e.g. perform the
|
|
action represented by the link). If no `payload` is specified, there is either no payload to send or a valid payload is not specified
|
|
by the link object. A payload might also be templated slightly. If the `templated` property is true, a payload might contain replaceable parts
|
|
in its strings (e.g. `{ "href": "/api/v3/examples/{example_id}" }`).
|
|
|
|
Note: When writing links (e.g. during a `PATCH` operation) only changes to `href` are accepted.
|
|
Changes to all other properties will be **silently ignored**.
|
|
|
|
# Errors
|
|
|
|
In case of an error, the API will respond with an apropriate HTTP status code.
|
|
For responses with an HTTP status of `4xx` and `5xx` the body will always contain a single error object.
|
|
Error objects shall give the client additional details about the cause of an errorneous response.
|
|
|
|
## General errors
|
|
|
|
* Error objects have their `_type` set to `Error`
|
|
* The `errorIdentifier` serves as a unique (and machine readable) identifier for a specific error cause
|
|
* There *may* be multiple possible error identifiers per HTTP status code
|
|
* There *may* be multiple possible HTTP status codes per error identifier
|
|
* The "List of Error Identifiers" defines the possible mappings between HTTP status and error identifier
|
|
* The `message` contains a human readable concise message describing the error
|
|
* It *optionally* includes specific information, for example which permission would have been needed to perform an action
|
|
* It is localized depending on the users preferences
|
|
* It *must not* include HTML or other kind of markup
|
|
* Error messages form complete sentences including punctuation
|
|
|
|
### Example
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"_type": "Error",
|
|
"errorIdentifier": "urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:InternalServerError",
|
|
"message": "An internal server error occured. This is not your fault."
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
## Embedded error information
|
|
|
|
Errors might optionally contain embedded objects that contain further information.
|
|
|
|
### Error details
|
|
|
|
Under the embedded key `details` there might be an object describing the error more verbosely. For example if the
|
|
error affects a specific field, this field could be defined there.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"_type": "Error",
|
|
"errorIdentifier": "urn:openproject-org:api:v3:examples:ExampleError",
|
|
"message": "This is an example error.",
|
|
"_embedded": {
|
|
"details": {
|
|
"_type": "ExampleErrorDetailInformation",
|
|
"errorneousField": "subject"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
### Multiple error objects
|
|
|
|
To ease implementation of basic clients it is guaranteed that the response body always only contains a single error object.
|
|
However it is allowed that an error object *embeds* other error objects under the key `errors`, thereby aggregating them.
|
|
|
|
The `errorIdentifier` of such an object is always `urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:MultipleErrors`. The message can either describe one of the
|
|
embedded errors or simply state that multiple errors occured.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"_type": "Error",
|
|
"errorIdentifier": "urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:MultipleErrors",
|
|
"message": "Multiple fields violated their constraints.",
|
|
"_embedded": {
|
|
"errors": [
|
|
{
|
|
"_type": "Error",
|
|
"errorIdentifier": "urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:PropertyConstraintViolation",
|
|
"...": "..."
|
|
},
|
|
{
|
|
"_type": "Error",
|
|
"errorIdentifier": "urn:openproject-org:api:v3:errors:PropertyConstraintViolation",
|
|
"...": "..."
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|

# Formattable Text
|
|
|
|
OpenProject supports text formatting in Textile. Other text formats *may* be introduced in the future.
|
|
Properties that contain formattable text have a special representation in this API. In this specification their
|
|
type is indicated as `Formattable`. Their representation contains the following properties:
|
|
|
|
| Property | Description | Type | Example | Supported operations |
|
|
|:--------:| -------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------- | -------------------- |
|
|
| format | Indicates the formatting language of the raw text | String | textile | READ |
|
|
| raw | The raw text, as entered by the user | String | `I *am* formatted!` | READ / WRITE |
|
|
| html | The text converted to HTML according to the format | String | `I <strong>am</strong> formatted!` | READ |
|
|
|
|
`format` can as of today have one of the following values:
|
|
|
|
* `plain` - only basic formatting, e.g. inserting paragraphs and line breaks into HTML
|
|
* `textile` - formatting using Textile
|
|
* `custom` - There is no apparent formatting rule that transforms the raw version to HTML (only used for read only properties)
|
|
|
|
More formats might be added in the future.
|
|
|
|
Note that `raw` is the only property supporting the **write** operation. A property of type *Formattable* that
|
|
is marked as **read and write**, will only accept changes to the `raw` property. Changes to `format` and `html` will be **silently ignored**.
|
|
It is thus sufficient to solely provide the `raw` property for changes.
|
|
|
|
If the *Formattable* is marked as **read only**, the `raw` attribute also becomes **read only**.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"format": "textile",
|
|
"raw": "I *am* formatted!",
|
|
"html": "I <strong>am</strong> formatted!"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Dates, Times and Durations
|
|
|
|
Representation of time related values in this API is done according to [ISO 8601](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601).
|
|
In this specification the following terms will be used as type specifiers (e.g. in tables):
|
|
|
|
* `Date` - refers to an ISO 8601 date, e.g. "2014-05-21"
|
|
* `DateTime` - refers to an ISO 8601 combined date and time, e.g. "2014-05-21T13:37:00Z"
|
|
* `Duration` - refers to an ISO 8601 duration, e.g. "P1DT18H"
|
|
|
|
# Colors
|
|
|
|
Colors are represented in RGB using hexadecimal notation as specified in [CSS Color Module Level 3](http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-color/).
|
|
That is a `#` followed by either three or six hexadecimal digits.
|
|
|
|
#### Examples
|
|
|
|
red: #ff0000 or #f00
|
|
green: #00ff00 or #0f0
|
|
black: #000000 or #000
|
|
white: #ffffff or #fff
|
|
|
|
# Digests
|
|
|
|
Digests (or Hashes) are one way functions that map data of arbitrary size to data of a fixed size.
|
|
In OpenProject they are for example used to calculate checksums for (attachment) files.
|
|
The checksum calculated depends on the hashed data and the algorithm used as hash function.
|
|
|
|
Therefore all digests are represented in the following form:
|
|
|
|
| Property | Description | Type | Example |
|
|
|:---------:| -------------------------------------------------- | ------ | ---------------------------------- |
|
|
| algorithm | The algorithm used to compute the digest | String | md5 |
|
|
| hash | The calculated digest in hexadecimal notation | String | 64c26a8403cd796ea4cf913cda2ee4a9 |
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
"algorithm": "md5",
|
|
"hash": "64c26a8403cd796ea4cf913cda2ee4a9"
|
|
}
