    11  # Purge requests: Parent field
    12  
    13  This rule enforces that all `Purge` methods have a `string parent`
    14  field in the request message, as mandated in [AIP-165][], unless the resource is
    15  top-level.
    16  
    17  ## Details
    18  
    19  This rule looks at any message matching `Purge*Request` and complains if
    20  either the `parent` field is missing, or if it has any type other than `string`.
    21  
    22  This rule is skipped for top-level resources, since they have no parent.
    23  
    24  ## Examples
    25  
    26  **Incorrect** code for this rule:
    27  
    28  ```proto
    29  // Incorrect.
    30  // Should include a `string parent` field.
    31  message PurgeBooksRequest {
    32    string filter = 2 [(google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED];
    33  
    34    bool force = 3;
    35  }
    36  ```
    37  
    38  ```proto
    39  // Incorrect.
    40  message PurgeBooksRequest {
    41    // Field type should be `string`.
    42    bytes parent = 1 [
    43      (google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED,
    44      (google.api.resource_reference).child_type = "library.googleapis.com/Book"
    45    ];
    46  
    47    string filter = 2 [(google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED];
    48  
    49    bool force = 3;
    50  }
    51  ```
    52  
    53  **Correct** code for this rule:
    54  
    55  ```proto
    56  // Correct.
    57  message PurgeBooksRequest {
    58    string parent = 1 [
    59      (google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED,
    60      (google.api.resource_reference).child_type = "library.googleapis.com/Book"
    61    ];
    62  
    63    string filter = 2 [(google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED];
    64  
    65    bool force = 3;
    66  }
    67  ```
    68  
    69  ## Disabling
    70  
    71  If you need to violate this rule, use a leading comment above the message (if
    72  the `parent` field is missing) or above the field (if it is the wrong type).
    73  Remember to also include an [aip.dev/not-precedent][] comment explaining why.
    74  
    75  ```proto
    76  message PurgeBooksRequest {
    77    // (-- api-linter: core::0165::request-parent-field=disabled
    78    //     aip.dev/not-precedent: We need to do this because reasons. --)
    79    bytes parent = 1 [
    80      (google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED,
    81      (google.api.resource_reference).child_type = "library.googleapis.com/Book"
    82    ];
    83  
    84    string filter = 2 [(google.api.field_behavior) = REQUIRED];
    85  
    86    bool force = 3;
    87  }
    88  ```
    89  
    90  If you need to violate this rule for an entire file, place the comment at the
    91  top of the file.
