REST API customer creation: adding and managing a new parameter

[lrnzsfr]

Hi everyone,

I have a "design" problem and I would like to know your feedback about it.

The problem:

I need to extend the REST API to create a user:

POST /rest/V1/customers

adding an optional parameter.

When the parameter is passed, I need to add some logic to fill an auxiliary table.

I would like to avoid the <preference> approach because this seems an extension that should be possible to make with plugins..or at least I hope so.

Any hints please?

Thanks,

  Lorenzo

Solved with plugins and extension attributes.
