In ruby-jss 2.0 and up, the OAPI spec is used to automatically generate hundreds of 'base' classes in ruby-jss, each with automatically generated attribute getters, setters, validators, and other useful methods. These base classes can then be used as the superclasses of the Jamt Pro API objects we implement for direct use in ruby-jss - and the majority of the coding is already done! The subclasses implementing objects in ruby-jss can then be expanded and customized beyond the simple, auto-generated superclass.

If you want to avoid repeated GET requests to the server when you aren't worried that the resulting data may have changed, you can store the results of `.all` in a variable, and either use it yourself, or pass it in to other methods via the `cached_list:` parameter. Passing in a cached_list wil prevent those methods from calling `.all` and reaching out to the server again.

### No Attribute aliases for Jamf Pro API objects

|
Objects from the Jamf Pro API will no longer define aliases for the attribute names that come from the API itself. This means, e.g., to get the name of a ComputerPrestage or MobileDevicePrestage, you have to ask for its `displayName` not its `name`, since the property comes from the API as `displayName`. To see a list of all the names, you must use `.all_displayNames` not `.all_names`. For objects with a 'name' property (most of them) then you can use `.name` and `.all_names`.

### Use of the term 'api'
|

231
|

|
|
232
|
+
In ruby-jss < 2.0, the term `api` is used with the Classic API in method names, method parameters, instance variables, attributes, and constants. It is used to pass, access, refer to, or hold instances of JSS::APIConnnection, e.g. so a method that talks to the server would use the passed connection rather than the module-wide default connection.
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
The term 'api' is inappropriate because the thing being passed is a 'connection' not an 'api'. Now that there are actually two APIs at play, that usage is even less appropriate.
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236

Going forward, use `cnx` (simpler to type than 'connection') instead. Example:

```ruby
