Get response after post() and append it to the scope about restangular HOT 13 CLOSED

Hey,

What are you getting in the data? Have you logged it? Or it's not entering in the callback?

from restangular.

The callback is not the response from the server, it looks like its just the post-data. But I need the server-response with id etc.

from restangular.

What Restangular does is the following:

• When making a POST or PUT, if the server returns something, that "something" is used.
• If the server doesn't return anything, then we use the parameter used for the post.

I've just added new test cases testing this:

• https://github.com/mgonto/restangular/blob/master/test/restangularSpec.js#L117
• https://github.com/mgonto/restangular/blob/master/test/restangularSpec.js#L138

As you can see, one uses something from the server, the other one the one as a parameter.

Can you please check that your server is indeed responding something?

Thanks!

from restangular.

Hey :)

As you can see, the server response with a json object:

And what I get on the callback with console.log(data) is this:
http://i.imagebanana.com/img/4lw7jff3/log.png
This is not the server response (id is missing)

from restangular.

Okey, that's weird!

The "magic" is in this line:

https://github.com/mgonto/restangular/blob/master/dist/restangular.js#L282

In there, can you tell me:

• Value of resData?
• Result of calling the responseExtractor method? As you can see there, it does the responseExtractor and if that returns undefined, it uses the object sent as a parameter.

Sorry for all the questions, but I don't really don't know what's going on and it's not happening on me (Typical excuse, huh? hahahaha)

from restangular.

Also, have you added some responseExtractor or responseInterceptor?

from restangular.

Maybe it's because of setResponseExtractor?

var app = angular.module('myTodo', ['ngResource', 'restangular']);

app.config(function(RestangularProvider) {
    RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl('/api/v1');
    RestangularProvider.setListTypeIsArray(false);
    RestangularProvider.setResponseExtractor(function(response, operation) {
        return response.objects;
    });
});

from restangular.

That's the reason. So, for your lists, you want to get the .objects and for the rest you're returning the element itself?

from restangular.

Change the response extractor to:

RestangularProvider.setResponseExtractor(function(response, operation) {
      if (operation === "getList") {
        return response.objects;
      } else {
         return response;
      }
    });

That should work. For collections you return response, for the rest, you return the response itself :)

from restangular.

Yes. It's because the result of django-tastypie looks like this, for example:

{
    "meta": {
        "limit": 20,
        "next": null,
        "offset": 0,
        "previous": null,
        "total_count": 2
    },
    "objects": [{
        "body": "Welcome to my blog!",
        "id": "1",
        "pub_date": "2011-05-20T00:46:38",
        "resource_uri": "/api/v1/entry/1/",
        "slug": "first-post",
        "title": "First Post",
        "user": "/api/v1/user/1/"
    },
    {
        "body": "Well, it's been awhile and I still haven't updated. ",
        "id": "2",
        "pub_date": "2011-05-21T00:46:58",
        "resource_uri": "/api/v1/entry/2/",
        "slug": "second-post",
        "title": "Second Post",
        "user": "/api/v1/user/1/"
    }]
}

from restangular.

Woha! Thanks!!!
It's working now.
Thank you 👍

from restangular.

Okey great!

I think you can use what I sent you before.

For getList you get the "objects" and for the rest, you just return response. Also, maybe you can like this:

if (operation === "getList") {
  var retObject = response.objects;
  retObject.meta = response.meta;
  return retObject;
} else {
  return response;
}

That way you can have an array for all objects and it also has a field for your meta if you need it later :)

from restangular.

Awesome :). I'm glad it work. Check the last response, you might want to save the meta as well for later usage :).

I'm closing this then.

Thanks for using the library!
