Server side paging

When loading a SoftType instance via a GET request and that loaded SoftType instance has one or more arrays of entries, ShareAspace will by default return a maximum of 10 of these entries per array. If there are more than 10 references per array, ShareAspace will provide HAETOAS links for requesting additional pages (in set of 10) for each of the arrays exceeding 10.

Requesting a page for an array is done using the following pattern.

GET https://{fqdn}/api/space/{spaceId}/softtype/page/{softTypeId}/{outputSchemaId}/{arrayPortId}/{objectId}/{pageNumber}
Note

The first page has page number 0.

Example

In this example a SoftType GET request is performed in order to load a SoftType. This SoftType has an array files with a total of 18 entries.

When loading the SoftType we get the first 10 entries back.

In the HAETOAS (link) section there is a page link including the pattern for requesting the additional pages. There is also additional metadata stating that the number of items in total is 18 and that the total number of pages is 2.

Filter Configuration

In the configuration it is possible to define filters for SoftTypes and their array ports. This is done in the SoftType Filter section of the configuration tool.

Configuration of SoftType filters

To use a defined filter and to get the correct filtered information in the HAETOAS links you can provide the filter id as a query parameter when doing the SoftType GET and the page GET.

If you have a filter configuration where you have left the value field blank you also have the ability to pass a dynamic value parameter using the query parameters.

Dynamic value for filter definition

Note

These filters can also be configured to be used by UI controls that displays arrays.
