It _does_ check additional 20 bindings if they are present. 21 22 ## Examples 23 24 **Incorrect** code for this rule: 25 26 ```proto 27 // Incorrect. 28 rpc UpdateBook(UpdateBookRequest) returns (Book) { 29 option (google.api.http) = { 30 put: "/v1/{book.name=publishers/*/books/*}" // Should be `patch:`. 31 body: "book" 32 }; 33 } 34 ``` 35 36 **Correct** code for this rule: 37 38 ```proto 39 // Correct. 40 rpc UpdateBook(UpdateBookRequest) returns (Book) { 41 option (google.api.http) = { 42 patch: "/v1/{book.name=publishers/*/books/*}" 43 body: "book" 44 }; 45 } 46 ``` 47 48 ## Disabling 49 50 If you need to violate this rule, use a leading comment above the method. 51 Remember to also include an [aip.dev/not-precedent][] comment explaining why. 52 53 ```proto 54 // (-- api-linter: core::0134::http-method=disabled 55 // aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --) 56 rpc UpdateBook(UpdateBookRequest) returns (Book) { 57 option (google.api.http) = { 58 put: "/v1/{book.name=publishers/*/books/*}" // Should be `patch:`. 59 body: "book" 60 }; 61 } 62 ``` 63 64 If you need to violate this rule for an entire file, place the comment at the 65 top of the file. 66 67 [aip-134]: https://aip.dev/134 68 [aip.dev/not-precedent]: https://aip.dev/not-precedent
