omniti-labs / jsend Goto Github PK

I love this, and will use it 'til retirement. I would like to propose a little mod to play better with typing. I would like to replace data with sData and fData, such that I can strongly type the payloads, both sending and receiving.

JSend is a great standard.

Can I use the icon of JSend in any package in any language?

The website of JSend seems to be closed.
I can't find the icon anymore...

We are finding it difficult to agree on the correct jsend status for an HTTP 404 response. Could the spec clarify this somewhat special case?

Two schools of thought here.

• It's the client's fault, so it's fail, with data set to something like {"message": "Route not found"}.
• The client can't change the request params and try again.

I've taken a look at some implementations, and there seems to be some consensus for HTTP 404 being error. However, my reading of the spec is that it should be fail.

One thing that is not immediately clear from the specification is whether the 'data' key of the response should always be either a JSON object or a null, or whether it can be any valid JSON value. Indeed, the examples only show these two options, but other possibilities are not explicitly ruled out.
An example of a different format:

{
    "status": "success",
    "data": "Some string value"
}

If an endpoint specifically returns a single value of a primitive type, I am wondering if packaging that in an additional JSON object would be a bit superfluous?

I think that message attribute could also be a part of fail just as it is with error.

As you describe it, FAIL is:

There was a problem with the data submitted, or some pre-condition of the API call wasn't satisfied

So in case of the former, the "problem with the data submitted" current structure makes perfect sense.
However for "some pre-condition of the API call wasn't satisfied" it does not quite work, and a "message" describing the problem seems to be much more logical. Because this pre-condition may not depend on what data user submitted, but on other conditions outside of it. For example maybe this request only works on certain days of the week?

It also allows to handle both fail and error responses in the same way, by showing an error or warning and message response from the server.

For example, I have this fail response, but the frontend is a multilanguage app.

{
    "status" : "fail",
    "data" : { "username" : "Username already exists" }
}

Should I specify the language on a header and handle it on the backend? I thought that maybe could be a good idea to add a code in a nested object like this

{
    "status" : "fail",
    "data" : {
		"username" : {
			"message": "Username already exists",
			"code": "usernameExists"
    	}
	 }
}

And the frontend should have a dictionary with "userAlreadyExists" to manage multilanguage error messages.

Thankyou for this helpful spec. I would like to request an addition to the spec - an optional key "log" which would be a list of log data generated during any given transaction.

For example:

{
    status : "success",
    data : {
        "posts" : [
            { "id" : 1, "title" : "A blog post", "body" : "Some useful content" }
        ]
     },
    log: [
        "New post created",
        "Editor notified"
    ]
}

I don't think it is needed to specify what the type of itmes in the log key are. For example they could be dictionaries.

{
    status : "success",
    log: [
        {"level": "DEBUG", "message": "Workflow state changed to published"}
    ]
}

Motivation: Particularly in admin interfaces it is helpful to have more detail on actions taken. For example an application could detect that a user is a system admin and generate more information in the return objects.

There may be cases where there may be multiple errors such as validation errors. In such cases, should the 'message' only consider the first error?

We are discussing some changes to specification here: Prestaul/jsend#11
I think, specification need to be updated to define HTTP statuses too.
