jsdata_angular.md

• STEP 1: npm install js-data and js-data-angular in that order
• STEP 2: list js-data as a dependency and set default values (DSProvider is the name of the DS object in the config step):

var app = angular.module('nameOfApp', ['js-data'])
  .config(function(DSProvider) {
  
    DSProvider.defaults.basePath = '/api';
    DSProvider.defaults.idAttribute = '_id';
    
  })

• STEP 3: inject the DS object into a factory

  app.factory('Post', function(DS) { })

• STEP 4: start building factories

app.factory('Post', function(DS, $state) {
	
	var Post = DS.defineResource({
		name: 'posts', 
		relations: {
			belongsTo: {
				users: {
					localKey: 'author', 
					localField: '_author'
				}
			}
		}, 
		methods: {
			go: function(){
				$state.go('post', {
					postId: this._id, 
					authorId: this.author
				})
			}
		}
	})

	return Post; 
}).run(function (Post) {})
