rest - RESTful API and real life example -


we have web application (angularjs , web api) has quite simple functionality - displays list of jobs , allows users select , cancel selected jobs.

we trying follow restful approach our api, that's gets confusing.

getting jobs easy - simple get: /jobs

how shall cancel selected jobs? bearing in mind operation on jobs need implement. easiest , logical approach (to me) send list of selected jobs ids api (server) , necessary procedures. that's not restful way.

if following restful approach seams need send patch request jobs, json similar this: 

patch: /jobs [     {       "op": "replace",       "path": "/jobs/123",       "status": "cancelled"     },     {       "op": "replace",       "path": "/jobs/321",       "status": "cancelled"     }, ]

that require generating json on client, mapping model on server, parsing "path" property job id , actual cancellation. seems convoluted , artificial me.

what general advice on kind of operation? i'm curious people in real life when lot of operations can't mapped restful resource paradigm.

thanks!

if cancelling job mean deleting use delete verb:

delete /jobs?ids=123,321,...

if cancelling job mean setting status field cancelled use patch verb:

patch /jobs content-type: application/json [ { "id": 123, "status": "cancelled" }, { "id": 321, "status": "cancelled" } ]

angular - Is it possible to get native element for formControl? -

i've got angular2 reactive form . created formcontrol s , assigned input fields by [formcontrol]=... . understand creates nativeelement <-> formcontrol link. my question: possible nativeelement formcontrol ? wanna myformcontrol.nativeelement.focus() i can share 1 terrible solution works me. in reactive forms can use either 1) formcontroldirective ts mycontrol = new formcontrol('') template <input type="text" [formcontrol]="mycontrol"> or 2) formcontrolname ts myform: formgroup; constructor(private fb: formbuilder) {} ngoninit() { this.myform = this.fb.group({ foo: '' }); } template <form [formgroup]="myform"> <input type="text" formcontrolname="foo"> </form> so these directives write patch like 1) formcontroldirective const originformcontrolngonchanges = formcontroldirective.prototype.ngonchanges; formcontroldirective.proto

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this
