Hey Simon Espigolé, happy you liked my post. I'm not familiar with Spring Boot, but the principle is usually the same. If you're using an OR mapper (such as Prisma for example), you can "include" or "expand" related entities and load them from the database in one go.

The flow would roughly look like this:

• API accepts an expand parameter for GET requests
• The expand parameter is interpreted and passed to the OR mapper
• Entities are loaded from the database and passed back as response

Check out the Prisma documentation for more details: prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-client/…

If you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks for your answser Ronald Blüthl. I'm familiar with the concept of resource expansion and how to do it but I'm struggling with the implementation with Spring Boot/Hibernate, especially with lazy-loaded entities (where I only want to join the tables that the client has requested via ?expand=).

Anyway, thanks for the link to Prisma, I didn't know this ORM. Have a nice day !
