view.prepare(Function)
adds a function to be executed before the view renders.This is the ideal place to prefetch related entities and manipulate the DataStore. The function can be asynchronous, in which case it should return a Promise.
The
prepare
function is invoked using Angular's dependency injection system, with a context offering the following services:query
: the query object (an object representation of the main request query string)datastore
: where the Entries are stored. The dataStore is accessible during renderingview
: the current View objectentry
: the current Entry instance (except in listView)entries
: the current list of Entry instances (only in listView)Entry
: the Entry constructor (required to transform an object from the REST response to an Entry)window
: the window object. If you need to fetch anything other than an entry and pass it to the view layer, it's the only way.Of course, regular Angular services (like Restangular) are also available.
