Web API中的嵌入式链接

Question

您好，我目前正在从事实施REST API的项目。作为这种情况下的客户端应用程序，我希望在REST调用中具有嵌入式链接。例如，以下是用于获取在Web API C＃-

中编写的ShopController的商店列表的类

[HttpGet]
public List<ShopViewModel> TrendingShops()
{
    List<ShopViewModel> trendingShops;
    using (Entities entities = new Entities())
    {
        try
        {
            trendingShops = (from shops in entities.Shops
                             join reviews in entities.ShopReviews on shops.ShopID equals reviews.ShopID
                             join images in entities.ShopImages on shops.ShopID equals images.ShopId
                             select
                             new ShopViewModel()
                             {
                                 ShopName = shops.ShopName,
                                 Review = reviews.Review,
                                 Description = shops.Description,
                                 SecondaryDescription = shops.SecondaryDescription,
                                 Rating = reviews.Rating,
                                 ReviewId = reviews.ReviewID,
                                 ShopID = shops.ShopID,
                                 ImageID=images.ImageID,
                                 ImageName=images.ImageName,
                                 ImagePath=images.ImagePath
                             }).
                            ToList();


        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

            trendingShops = null;
            throw;

        }
    }

    return trendingShops;
}

下面是ShopViewModel-

public class ShopViewModel
{
    public int ShopID { get; set; }
    public string ShopName { get; set; }
    public long ReviewId { get; set; }
    public string Review { get; set; }
    public Nullable<decimal> Rating { get; set; }
    public String Description { get; set; }
    public String SecondaryDescription { get; set; }
    public int ImageID { get; set; }
    public string ImagePath { get; set; }
    public string ImageName { get; set; }
}

此代码给出以下响应

[
    {
        "ShopID": 1,
        "ShopName": "Shop/Product Name 1",
        "ReviewId": 2,
        "Review": "Good",
        "Rating": 3,
        "Description": "Shop or Product description comes here",
        "SecondaryDescription": "Second line description",
        "ImageID": 1,
        "ImagePath": "IMGURL",
        "ImageName": "TPImage2"
    },
    {
        "ShopID": 2,
        "ShopName": "Shop/Product Name 2",
        "ReviewId": 3,
        "Review": "Good",
        "Rating": 4,
        "Description": "Shop or Product description comes here",
        "SecondaryDescription": "Second line description",
        "ImageID": 2,
        "ImagePath": "IMGURL",
        "ImageName": "TPImage2"
    }
]

现在，无需返回服务器获取上述商店之一的商店详细信息。我想将其包含在上面的响应中。

我想知道最好的方法。请注意，我已经在互联网上搜索了“ HATEOAS”

以下要求的链接是否正确？如果没有，请提出正确的方法。

了解在设计REST API时应在何时何地使用HATEOAS原理也将是一件好事。
