REST AND ODATA OBJECT NAVIGATION
According to some embodiments, a method and apparatus are provided to receive a request for a REST or OData object at an input field and suggest a file associated with the REST or OData object.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving a URI associated with a RESTful application at an input field; and
suggesting, via a processor, a plurality of REST or OData objects associated with the received URI.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a request to open one of the plurality of REST or OData objects.
3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
opening the one of the plurality of REST or OData objects
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the suggestion is based on a role of a user providing the URI associated with the RESTful application at the input field.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the suggestion may be associated with an autocomplete function and the results of the autocomplete function may be based on a user definition of objects to display.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the suggested plurality of REST or OData objects is associated with previously opened files.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
navigating a sub-object associated with the one of the plurality of REST or OData objects associated with the received URI based on a convention that is defined by its metadata associated with the one of the plurality of REST or OData objects.
8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
saving the suggested plurality of REST or OData objects associated with the received URI.
9 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a URI at an input field; and
suggesting, via a processor, a plurality of REST or OData objects associated with the received URI.
10 . The medium of claim 9 , the method further comprising:
receiving a request to open one of the plurality of REST or OData objects.
11 . The medium of claim 10 , further comprising:
opening the one of the plurliaty of REST or OData objects.
12 . The medium of claim 10 , wherein the suggestion is based on a role of a user providing the URI associated with the RESTful application at the input field
13 . The medium of claim 10 , wherein the suggestion may be associated with an autocomplete function and the results of the autocomplete function may be based on a user definition of objects to display.
14 . The medium of claim 9 , wherein the suggested plurality of REST or OData objects is associated with previously opened files.
15 . An apparatus comprising:
a processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by the processor perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving a URI at an input field; and
suggesting, via a processor, a plurality of REST or OData objects associated with the received URI.
16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , the method further comprising:
receiving a request to open one of the plurality of REST or OData objects.
17 . The apparatus of claim 16 , further comprising:
opening the one of the plurliaty of REST or OData objects.
18 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the suggestion is based on a role of a user providing the URI associated with the RESTful application at the input field
19 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the suggestion may be associated with an autocomplete function and the results of the autocomplete function may be based on a user definition of objects to display.
20 . The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the suggested plurality of REST or OData objects is associated with previously opened files.
