POHATEOAS client with AngularJS
text
Body
copied!<p>I was wondering if there were any features hidden in Angular or exposed by some 3rd-party libraries to easily create HATEOAS-compliant Restful clients.</p> <p>On backend side, I am using Spring Data/REST to produce an HATEOAS JSON API. Consuming it, though, is quite another story. </p> <p>For instance, I've got those 3 entities: </p> <ul> <li>Company <code>{name, address}</code> </li> <li>Employee <code>{firstName, lastName, employer[Company]}</code> </li> <li>Activity <code>{rate, day, employee[Employee], client[Company]}</code></li> </ul> <p>and requesting an activity (the most complex entity of the model) produces something like this:</p> <pre><code>{ links: [], content: [{ rate: 456, day: 1366754400000, links: [{ rel: "self", href: "http://localhost:8080/api/activities/1" }, { rel: "activities.activity.client", href: "http://localhost:8080/api/activities/1/client" }, { rel: "activities.activity.employee", href: "http://localhost:8080/api/activities/1/employee" }] }] } </code></pre> <p>My API talks in terms of REST (resources identified by links). An Activity has an Employee for instance. What I really want to use is : <code>{rate: 456, day: 1366754400000, employee: {firstName:"xxx", lastName:"xxx" ...}}</code>.</p> <p>However, as you can see in the first output, my Activity only contains a <em>link</em> to the employee, not its data. Is there anything in Angular or in a 3rd-party library to resolve those links and embed the resulting data instead?</p> <p>Any input on this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
