Re: [orion-dev] Rest API for project metadata

[John Arthorne <John_Arthorne@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Christian,

The short answer is that there is currently
no HTTP API for this metadata. It is currently a purely client side concept.
Of course it is just json data so you can use the file service to obtain
or change the file contents. I don't think the various aspects of the project
metadata have been formalized or finalized yet. The "Project URL"
is just a project homepage link or the address of the web site you are
building. It is used to show a "thumbnail" view of the project.

We would be curious to know your use
cases for using this metadata, to help us understand how it should evolve.
Can you share any details on what you are looking to do with the metadata
and whether you want to extend it.

John

Rest API for project metadata

Hi,
 
I have questions regarding „projects“
in Orion. I inspected the file “…projectData/project.json” which seems
to be written during project creation. Of course I can read this file to
get info about all projects. But is there a better way?
 
-          Is
there a REST API to list all projects?
-          Is
there a REST API to get the metadata of a certain project
-          Is
there a description of the project metadata. E.g. what is the “Project
URL” – just an informative URL linking e.g. to some project homepage.
Or is this URL further processed in Orion?  
 
Ciao
  Chris
