Exercise

Task: Apply the Pagination pattern to an operation in an API of your choice, effectively repeating Step 2 of Tutorial 0. If you want some change, choose a different pattern variant.

Optionally, you can also try to represent the hyperlinks differently in the implementation. For instance, you can try to use one of the “standard” notations listed as known uses of API Description. JSON API is one of them and features pagination links as one of its examples.

Repetition Questions

1. Does MAP focus a) on microservices infrastructure and middleware or b) on API message content?

3. Which pattern categories exist in MAP?
4. Which problem does the Pagination pattern solve, and which category does it belong to?
5. Does the description of the Pagination qualify as pattern?
