Moving Away from CRUD: How Task-based UI and CQRS Work with REST API

🔄Commands and queries can be mapped to resources instead of entities in a task-based UI with a REST API.

🗺️Resources can be composed by fetching data concurrently from multiple boundaries and combining it into a single response on the server side.

🌐UI composition can be done on either the client or server side, depending on the desired approach.

✅HTTP methods can be used to perform actions like updating prices or marking items as available or unavailable.

🔁Task-based UI and CQRS provide a more flexible and scalable solution compared to the traditional CRUD approach.

How do commands and queries work in a task-based UI with a REST API?

—Commands and queries can be mapped to resources, allowing actions and data retrieval to be performed on specific boundaries instead of entities.

Can UI composition be done on the client side?

—Yes, UI composition can be done on the client side by making multiple HTTP calls to different resources and combining the data to build the UI.

Is UI composition on the server side recommended?

—UI composition on the server side can be a more efficient approach, as it allows for concurrent fetching of data from multiple boundaries and provides a single response to the client.

What are the advantages of using task-based UI and CQRS?

—Task-based UI and CQRS provide a more flexible and scalable solution compared to the traditional CRUD approach, allowing for better separation of concerns and improved performance.

How can HTTP methods be used in a task-based UI with a REST API?

—HTTP methods can be used to perform actions like updating prices, marking items as available or unavailable, and performing other operations on specific resources.
