Hi,
While I was playing with scaffolding and tried to build a
simple Blog Application with Aerogear I faced the current
situation :
I have a Post object which contains many Comment
objects. Now I want to call my Post pipe to retrieve the
related comments, I have currently 2 options :
/posts/1 -> assuming comments will be
implicitly retrieved (eager loading)
/comments/?postid=1
But regarding our model the correct form should be :
/posts/1/comments
+1
that is the ideal way to model URIs for "nested" resources.

But, AFAIK, with the current API, it is not possible to
define this last pattern (at least for JS and iOs,

will always be append to the endpoint.
Well, it is possible - but in a very (IMO) ugly way:
IMO, we should be able to support this pattern but for
now I'm not really sure how to specify this in our API, so
if you have any ideas feedback this thread has been made for
you !
Suggestion: Enhance the read function - example:
