Is it possible to nest collection list results? about ng-admin HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello,
I don't really understand, you have an API that returns :

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "collection": {
            "results": []
        }
    },
    {
        "id": 1,
        "collection": {
            "results": []
        }
    }
]

And you want the display all elements of results in the list ?
You can use the valueTranformer for that:

.addField(new Field('collection')
    .valueTransformer(function(value) {
        return value && value.results ? value.results: value;
    })
)

I Hope this can help

@manuquentin my apologies, no the api looks like this:

{
    "total": 2,
    "results": [
        {
            "id": 1,
            "name:" "foo"
        },
        {
            "id": 2,
            "name:" "bar"
        }
    ]
}

So I want to have the collection under results be what ng-admin uses. Maybe I can still use a valueTransformer for this?

Thanks for your assistance!

You need an interceptor :

Entity('characters')
    .interceptor(function interceptor(data, operation, what, url, response, deferred){
        if (operation === 'getList') {
            var newResponse = response.results;
            return newResponse;
        }

        return response;
    })

from ng-admin.

This should be added to the wiki here: https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin/blob/master/doc/API-mapping.md

from ng-admin.

and it seems that the way to do it now is:

  RestangularProvider.addResponseInterceptor(function (data, operation, what, url, response, deferred){
      if (operation === 'getList') {
          return data.results;
      }
      return data;
  })

from ng-admin.

Yep, entity.interceptor() is removed in latest versions, and the right way to do it is correctly described in the API-mapping doc.
