Problem/Motivation

Let's assume we have a rest route on /node similar to what #2293697: EntityResource POST routes all use the confusing default: use entity types' https://www.drupal.org/link-relations/create link template if available does.
Currently views overrides this route on /node with its own internal controller no matter what

Proposed resolution

Just add it, if needed.

Remaining tasks

Figure out whether we want to filter by more than request verb. What about _format etc.

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

Figure out whether we want to filter by more than request verb. What about _format etc.

I think that can happen in a follow-up. This solves a big frustration/WTF.

This actually was an incredibly incomplete fix. This was a small step in the right direction, but me saying in #5 that we could defer the _format stuff was actually a mistake now. (Although it did make the situation better in some cases.) We really need to fix that.

I'd reclose this, but this really should be committed cherry-picked to 8.1 also.

I agree to be honest. Its quite a clusterfuck for actual sites.

#16: we just need to cherry-pick the commit from 8.2 to 8.1, we don't want to change it here I think?

Well, I guess i'm a bit stricter with my own patches, but sure, we should just cherry pick, I haven't seen that.

Cherry picked to 8.1.x.

Agreed on the strict comparison - I'd have asked for that if I'd spotted it. Let's do that in a follow-up though.
