Groups support for different model views

[pietervogelaar]

Do you guys maybe have an idea about how to implement this in Swagger UI?

zircote/swagger-php#39

I think this would be best done with "tags" in the spec, and letting the UI support grouping based on them. We can log that as a feature request into the spec on swagger-core

[pietervogelaar]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Could you give an example?

Did you also read zircote/swagger-php#39 yet?

[fehguy]

I did read that issue--my take was that the goal is to have different ways of grouping operations for visual purposes. To do that, I suggest we implement a tag feature where different operations can be tagged, which would allow for some sorting in the UI.

This was actually in our first implementation but it was lost when we wrote the actual spec.

Does that make sense or am I getting your request wrong? If so, perhaps a cliff-notes version of the issue in the zircote-php project would be great :)

[pietervogelaar]

Hmm... I think we mean not entirely the same things. The issue at swagger-php is about use a model with its associations for multiple operations. But not every operation shows all the properties of that defined model. Only the defined group (view) of properties.

At the moment this is not possible because the entity model that is displayed as responseClass will show ALL properties the model and all of its associations.

I hope you understand it, it's a bit hard to explain..

Ok I see. Maybe you can join #swagger in irc.freenode.net and we can discuss? It sounds like an implementation issue in the php.

[fehguy]

the 2.0 spec will support this.
