Am I the only one around here who hates the whole PUT PATCH nonsense? When I write APIs, you’re either querying data with a GET, or mutating data with a POST. Everything else is a waste of time.
Everytime i need to plan out an API i stumble into a lengthy PUT/PATCH analysis and read up session that shouldnt really be necessary.
POST should be the only thing needed, if the object already exists, mutate it, if not, create it, in 99% of the times you dont need the “idempotency” argument.
If your application models a remote API in terms of endpoints which are either read-only/GET or read-write/POST, then you're subverting your own interests. There's no reason to constrain yourself in this way.
