Negotiating profiles against universis api server

This plugin of universis api server implements content negotiation as described in document https://www.w3.org/TR/dx-prof-conneg/#introduction

Configuration

Register @universis/profiles#ProfileService in application services:

"services": [
    ...,
    {
        "serviceType": "@universis/profiles#ProfileService"
    }
]

Configure CORS to expose Link header:

"settings": {
    ...
    "cors": {
        "exposedHeaders": [
		"Link"
	    ],
	    "methods": "GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE"
    }
}

Get list of profiles

Get all the available student profiles for the context user:

curl --location --head 'http://localhost:5001/api/students/me' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer a-valid-access-token'

This operation is important when a user is connected with more than one student records e.g. an undergraduate and a postgraduate program of studies.

The response header Link contains the available student profiles:

<http://localhost:5001/api/students/me>;rel="canonical";type="application/json";profile="urn:universis:student:profile:33456111";title="Undergraduate study program A",
<http://localhost:5001/api/students/me>;rel="alternate";type="application/json";profile="urn:universis:student:profile:22445523";title="Postgraduate study program B"

Get resource for a specific profile

Use Accept-Profile request header to get a resource for a specific profile:

curl --location --request GET 'http://localhost:5001/api/students/me' \
--header 'Accept-Profile: urn:universis:student:profile:22445523' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer a-valid-access-token'
