can-connect/data/parse/parse

module

Extract response data into a format needed for other extensions.

`dataParse( baseConnection )`

Overwrites the DataInterface methods to run their results through either parseInstanceData or parseListData.

Parameters

baseConnection {Object}:
The base connection.

Use

data/parse is used to modify the response data of "data interface" methods to comply with what is expected by "instance interface" methods. For example, if a service was returning list data at the /services/todos url like:

{
  todos: [
    {todo: {id: 0, name: "dishes"}},
    {todo: {id: 2, name: "lawn"}}
  ]
}

That service does not return ListData in the right format which should look like:

{
  data: [
    {id: 0, name: "dishes"},
    {id: 2, name: "lawn"}
  ]
}

To correct this, you can configure data-parse to use the parseListProp and parseInstanceProp as follows:

connect([
  require("can-connect/data/parse/parse"),
  require("can-connect/data/url/url")
],{
 parseListProp: "todos",
 parseInstanceProp: "todo"
})
