class Apple
boolean deleted - this flag should be part of the public API of the object.

GET /apples?includeDeleted=boolean
- by default, should not include deleted apples
- because deleted apples may be referenced elsewhere, UIs may still need them for labels, etc., so include a flag to return deleted apples, too

GET /apples/id
- always return this item regardless of deletion status so references do not break

POST /apples
- should not be able to create an apple in a deleted state (deleted always = false)

POST /apples/id
- should be able change the deleted flag if you can update the object

DELETE /apples/id or DELETE /apples?id=x
- sets deleted = false and that's it

  • No labels
