Overhauled data APIs
In this new version, HAT Data Apis have received a full rebuild to significantly simplify all data operations while at the same time providing more flexible operations
New in this version:
- Overhauled APIs to simplify data input and minimise setup required before data can be saved into a HAT
- Support for linking data records together during saving or afterwards
- Any record can now be updated in a single call or deleted using the right permissions
- Data bundling was adapted for the new model of data storage, allowing for:
- Picking specific data points from within records
- Mixing data from different sources into the same response
- Filtering and searching for specific records
- Data Debits adapted for the APIs and build directly on the Bundles model to accurately specify requested data
- Authentication mechanism extended to include a more flexible user roles' model as well as a notion of "namespaces" within which an application can operate
