hydrus can't show nested collections

I’m submitting a

• bug report.
• feature request.

Current Behaviour:

hydrus can’t show nested collections. (eg. collection of comments on a particular issue/article)

Expected Behaviour:

Quoting @Mec-iS

we possibly want to return a hyperlink to the collection, not the full collection. same we did for nested object in Flock-Demo.

Possible approach

we can have a hyperlink to the endpoint of nested collection something like

{ 
"@type": "Article", 
"@id": "api/articles/id", 
... 
"comments": "api/articles/id/comments", 
... 
} 

Steps to reproduce:

Run hydrus with real-world-app API Doc I submitted at https://github.com/HTTP-APIs/hydrus-real-world-app/pull/2 (The API Doc is not complete but can be used to reproduce this issue by adding an article and trying to get/retrieve comments related to that article)

Do you want to work on this issue?

Yes

Am I getting it right or missing something?

Exactly. Please prioritise this #386 and #302 for your first weeks Also for @Guttz, we need these implemented before starting anything with the demo or the client.

Couldn’t agree more, that way we can avoid over-engineering, and utilize these Spec based features directly for adding any extra functionality.

Please take some time to map and list everything we are missing from the spec.

If I am not missing something then it will require us to create a new resource named NestedCollection or something, mapped with api/<Collectiontype>/<ID>/<NestedCollectiontype> and having only get responder.

Exactly! You can then parse and use the child ids of item Collectiontype/<ID> to create a partial collection that will have the type of <NestedCollectiontype>
