Meta and links support

[abdulhaq-e]

Links are useful. They can integrate well with the idea of the store.

However, I have been thinking on how to integrate meta? Meta is supposed to be something per request hence it doesn't help saving it to the store. What are the other options?

[remmeier]

I consider both of them just being more data. The only difference to actual attributes is, that they are not sent back to the server.

As such, I think there is no store logic necessary, they just have to be saved along with the attributes. Preferably in the format received from the server without any changes:

• meta
  ** x
• attributes
  ** y
• links
  ** z

I would just add those the the Document and Resource so that they are available in the api contract.

We use meta data for example to signal security/permission information. Depending on their values, use can or cannot do things (like post, delete, patch). As such we need to bind components to meta data as well next to the attributes.
