Problem/Motivation

@moshe requested this during last week's API-First Initiative meeting. We discussed it at length in Slack, sadly Slack ate the history.

Proposed resolution

From most to least work:

  1. Add ResourceType::getLimitMax() (and perhaps ResourceType::getLimitDefault()). Then update JSON:API Extras to make it configurable.
  2. Add jsonapi.pager.max_size container parameter
  3. Don't provide explicit support for this, instead recommend to create a custom param enhancer or KernelEvents::REQUEST subscriber that runs after \Drupal\jsonapi\Routing\JsonApiParamEnhancer::enhance() and does $request->attributes['_json_api_params']['page'] = new OffsetPage(…, CUSTOM_MAX);.

Concerns for each:

  1. Tying the limit to a resource type means we don't know what the limit would be for mixed bundles ( #2956414: Support mixed-bundle collections (e.g. `/jsonapi/node`) → ) or when dealing with search ( #2991729: Ability to define a "full text search" filter, e.g. using Elasticsearch → ). In other words: this would be a nice fit today, but it likely will get in the way in the future, when expanding JSON:API's capabilities.
  3. Hard. But this is okay, we want to discourage customization, and encourage experience reports to steer tweaking defaults. Moshe's use case is very particular.
