# Base assumption Event handlers will always use **publicly available application API's**(services) - already done in Sandbox API by overwriting **SELECT**, **UPDATE**, **READ** and **CREATE** ## Inbound data for validations - req.target plus expand on related data - lazy loading on expand - event facade could have an explicit publishing of specific services or documents (e.g. remote services) - CQN Protocol adapter for subsequent reads --> req.data plus application service calls - what is the CDS subset to put in? - req.data + target-rec (proxy, unloaded) - ORM type lazy loading (dereferenced) - application developer could actually provide custom proxies for specific functions - performance impact of multiple accesses to object graph and multiple DB roundtrips - can static code checking or developer annotations influence what is loaded into a graph? - alternative: Stripped-down SELECT limited to req.target and ID - application service only - access rights of user respected - What about to-many relationships? For compositions essential, for associations to be questioned - Application Service Reads - outbound data for changes - call remote services - register new remote services dynamically - CAP provides an API on remote services - connect doesn't need to be done by extension developer - alternative: declarative remote services plumbing with CDS service facade - model looks like static internal services, remote calls done transparently behind the scenes -Emit Events - choreography of extension points - deep inserts vs. fine grained operations - input validation may be suited for fine grained operations - today not in scope for performance reasons - two different use case: Insert new page to book vs. update order-header with items-constraints in place - reject request, return errors and warnings - suitable for UI, too */ /* Annotations available: Entity level @expression.constraint : [{if: 'expression evaluates to bool'}, on: ['INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE'], error: 'Transaction Rollback and error message', warning: 'Transaction proceeds and warning message'] @expression.computed : [{expression: 'ability to access request payload and modify it', on: ['INSERT, UPDATE']}] @event : [{if: 'expression evaluates to bool', on: ['INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, READ'], when: 'before or after, default before', emit: 'Event Name', to: 'Messaging target, optional'}] @expresion.code :[{file: 'file name', on:['insert', 'update'], when: 'before or after, default before'}, {source: 'each => { if (each.stock > 111) {each.title += `-- 11% discount!`; each.price= each.price*0.9}', on:['insert', 'update'], when: 'before or after'}] Atribute Level @assert.constraint : {if: 'stock>=0 OR stock <1000', error: 'i18n/error102'}; @event : {if: 'expression evaluates to bool', on: ['INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, READ'], when: 'before or after', emit: 'Event Name', to: 'Messaging target, optional' } Functions available: EXISTS(association target) COUNT,AVG,MIN,MAX,SUM: Composition items, arrays etc OLD: before image EACH: loop over composition items Events covered: CRUD --> Longhand and Shorthand supported?
