The structure of an array response is currently dependant on the query parameters. If
count=true
is specified, then the response is a pagination object wrapping the array and containing count and total. Otherwise, the response is the bare JSON array.The bare array is nice and easy to consume but it may be undesirable in certain situations to lull the developer into expecting a bare array and suddenly realising that once the collection contains so many items, that it will be paginated and the response structure suddenly changes.
This PR proposes to give the deployer of any service using firefly-common to configure it such that the pagination response structure is always used regardless of whether pagination filter was requested or whether or not the total number of records is available.
