I am also in favour of clarifying this.
Do we agree that, as a client, I can update from / to dates even if the
vacation is not enabled ?
As such, I can first disable the vacation by sending an update with :
{
isEnabled : false,
fromDate : null,
toDate : null
}
Then modify the dates :
{
fromDate: "date in one week",
toDate : "date in two weeks"
}
After this I will get this as a result from the GetVacationResponse :
{
isEnabled: false,
fromDate: "date in one week",
toDate : "date in two weeks",
textBody : "My so desired vacation text"
}
Now, if I sended this as an update :
{
isEnabled: true,
fromDate: "date in one week",
toDate : "date in two weeks"
}
I will end up with the exact same result, as we are out of the date range,
so isEnabled is false. We can no more differenciate a vacation in one week
from a vacation that will never happen, but happen to have some fromDate
and toDate specified.
With such a specification, the client can just know if the vacation is
active right now. But can not know about not yet active vacations. UX
scenari like displaying the vacation in a calendar are no more possible...
That's why I am reluctant to modify the isEnabled value, and propose to add
an other value (isActivated) that prevents from this ambiguity.
Regards,
Benoit
