instance

Use

If you have a special type with helper functions you'd like to have available, you can convert raw data to that type in instance. The following makes it so .get resolves to objects with a complete method.

Todo = function(props){
  Object.assign(this, props);
};
Todo.prototype.complete = function(){
  this.completed = true;
}

var todosConnection = connect([
  require("can-connect/constructor/constructor"),
  require("can-connect/data/url/url")
], {
  url: "todos",
  instance: function( props ) {
    return new Todo(props);
  }
});

This allows:

todosConnection.get({id: 5}).then(function(todo){
  todo.complete();
});
