Request — Exclude fields using URL parameters
This issue has been opened because we (as the core team) are looking for contributors to help us co-develop the feature.
Motivations
By default, the generated APIs populate the relational field. Even, if it can be very useful, it can cause performance issues, increase the payload for no reason, etc. That's why with this feature we could remove this default behavior and add a new parameter in the request to include the asked relations.
Tasks
- Find a contributor
- Define the needs
- Discuss a solution and technical implementation
- Ask for design
- Submit RFC
Risks
- Don't follow developers practices
- Over-engineer the parameters system. It must be easy-to-use and human-readable.
