Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now, utilities that want to use the /catalog endpoint often need to aggregate each module's versions into a list. For example, the /catalog endpoint returns this:
{
"modules": [
{
"module":"github.com/arschles/assert",
"version": "v1.0.0"
},
{
"module": "github.com/arschles/assert",
"version": "v1.1.0"
}
]
}
Many programs will find it more convenient to get a response similar to this:
{
"modules": {
"github.com/arschles/assert": ["v1.0.0", "v1.1.0"]
}
}
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like us to add a V2 of the catalog API that responds this way. This could possibly be exposed as a /catalog/v2 endpoint.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Clients can always aggregate in their own code
Additional context
- There will be non-trivial work on the storage systems to achieve this
- There are two projects I know of that could benefit from this change:
