Topic: Returning a created resource on POST
David Hay (Mar 30 2021 at 17:37):
The spec doesn't talk about whether a server should return the created resources using a POST - some do and some don't. If it does, is the response obligated to be the same as that submitted? The server is allowed to modify the resource submitted if it needs to do so for business rules, so I would assume that it is OK to return an altered resource (In fact it could be argued that it is a good thing).
The specific scenario is a server that will automatically accept from known clients where the requested slot is available. We're proposing that the appointment.status is 'proposed' in the request, but 'booked' in the response.

The response is obligated to be what's stored - which might not be the same as what was submitted. What's returned is the basis for subsequent updates.

And yes, changing proposed to booked would be something that could happen. (Though throwing away data elements is more typical.)

How to prepare the resource post data
Shyju K P (Apr 05 2021 at 12:01):
{
"resourceType": "Patient",
"id": "example",
"text": {
"status": "generated",
"active": true,
"name": [
{
"use": "official",
"family": "Chalmers",
"given": [
"Peter",
"James"
]
},
{
"use": "usual",
"given": [
"Jim"
]
},
This is the sample structure of patient resource, how can we understand the structure of each resources.

On the resourcelist you find references to all resources, and you can view for each resource the structured tree view, or if you prefer you can directly switch there to the JSON tab which gives you a template how the resource structure has to be.
