Yes, interesting. I like keeping URIs clean too. Will brainstorm a little and get back to you.
from eve.
Support for dynamic versioning implies that the API is aware of different schemas (in Eve jargon, one DOMAIN
per version). And that's not taking global configuration settings (RESOURCE_METHODS
, CACHE_CONTROL
, etc) into account. It's doable, at the inevitable cost of configuration complexity. A couple options come to mind:
Multiple, isolated, settings files, one per version. Users could always use imports to easily replicate common settings.
Or,
One file as it is now, but split the version configuration somehow, maybe with a dictionary. Something like:
{
'v1': {
RESOURCE_METHODS: ['GET'],
...
DOMAIN: {...},
}
{
'v2': {
RESOURCE_METHODS: ['GET'],
...
DOMAIN: {...},
}
}
It gets simpler if we'd only allow for domain deltas between versions:
DOMAIN: {
'v1': {...},
'v2': {...},
}
Of course both designs could be merged:
{
'v1': 'settings-v1.py',
'v2': 'settings-v2.py'
}
The trick is to balance flexibility with complexity. Mind you, I'm just brainstorming in the open, so to speak.

Also, I should add that I'm not too fond of API versioning. I believe that clients should be intelligent enough to deal with API updates transparently, especially since Eve-powered API support HATEOAS.

On second thought I believe that different API versions should be totally isolated instances since so many things would/could be different between versions: caching, URIs, schemas, validation, and so on. For example, since URL mappings are loaded at startup, dynamically handling different mappings would be impossible without a rewrite of the core. Also, URI versioning (http://api.example.com/v1/...
), which is already supported, is build around isolated API instances.
I'm keeping this on hold for the time being.
