How to access complex REST resources with ExtJS 5 - rest

I am using ExtJS 5 and I want to access complex REST resources as discussed in this similar thread using ExtJS 4.
The REST service that I am accessing exposes these resources:
GET /rest/clients - it returns a list of clients
GET /rest/users - it returns a list of all users
GET /rest/clients/{clientId}/users - it returns a list of users from the specified client.
I have these models:
Ext.define('App.model.Base', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
schema: {
namespace: 'App.model'
}
});
Ext.define('App.model.Client', {
extend: 'App.model.Base',
fields: [{
name: 'name',
type: 'string'
}],
proxy: {
url: 'rest/clients',
type: 'rest'
}
});
Ext.define('App.model.User', {
extend: 'App.model.Base',
fields: [{
name: 'name',
type: 'string'
},{
name: 'clientId',
reference: 'Client'
}],
proxy: {
url: 'rest/users',
type: 'rest'
}
});
I did this:
var client = App.model.Client.load(2);
var users = client.users().load();
And it sent, respectively:
//GET rest/clients/2
//GET rest/users?filter:[{"property":"personId","value":"Person-1","exactMatch":true}]
Questions:
Is there any way that I can send my request to "GET rest/clients/2/users" without updating the user proxy url manually with its clientId?
How can I send above request without losing the original url defined in App.model.User, "rest/users"

I think this essentially the same as this question:
Accessing complex REST resources with Ext JS
I don't think much has changed since it was first asked.

ExtJS: Rest Proxy Post Data Failure

Hy,
I've a Problem by sending data via ExtJs Rest Proxy. When I POST Data I get the Exception
in Chrome: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'clientIdProperty' of undefined
in Firefox: TypeError: clientRecords[0] is undefined
My Store
Ext.define('Test.store.Test', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Store',
requires: [
'Test.model.test',
'Ext.data.proxy.Rest',
'Ext.data.reader.Json'
],
constructor: function(cfg) {
var me = this;
cfg = cfg || {};
me.callParent([Ext.apply({
storeId: 'Test',
model: 'Test.model.test',
proxy: {
type: 'rest',
url: '/resources/php/test.php',
reader: {
type: 'json'
}
}
}, cfg)]);
}
My Model
Ext.define('Test.model.test', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
requires: [

Is there a standard answer from Server?
I hope some one can Help me
Thx for Help
In your reader config, provide a 'root' property.
In ext 4.x it'll be like
reader: {
type: 'json',
root: 'root'
}
And in Ext 5.x, it'll be
reader: {
type: 'json',
rootProperty: 'root'
}
Here's what API doc says -
rootProperty : String The name of the property which contains the data
items corresponding to the Model(s) for which this Reader is
configured. For JSON reader it's a property name (or a dot-separated
list of property names if the root is nested). For XML reader it's a
CSS selector. For Array reader the root is not applicable since the
data is assumed to be a single-level array of arrays.
By default the natural root of the data will be used: the root JSON
array, the root XML element, or the array.
The data packet value for this property should be an empty array to
clear the data or show no data.
Defaults to: ''
For example, if the JSON response from the server is
{
"data": {
"Test": "TEST"
},
"someOtherField": "Some Value"
}
then, your rootProperty/ root will become -
rootProperty: 'data'
- Since data corresponds to your model

OData Jaydata - odata update request returns error 404 (SAPUI5, node)

I'm building a web application with SAPUI5 which makes available a list of services, that are stored in a MongoDB and available as OData.
I followed this guide jaydata-install-your-own-odata-server-with-nodejs-and-mongodb and these are my model.js:
$data.Class.define("marketplace.Service", $data.Entity, null, {
Id: {type: "id", key: true, computed: true, nullable: false},
Name: {type: "string", nullable: false, maxLength: 50},
}, null);
$data.Class.defineEx("marketplace.Context", [$data.EntityContext, $data.ServiceBase], null, {
Services: {type: $data.EntitySet, elementType: marketplace.Service}
});
exports = marketplace.Context;
and server.js:
var c = require('express');
require('jaydata');
window.DOMParser = require('xmldom').DOMParser;
require('q');
require('./model.js');
var app = c();
app.use(c.query());
app.use(c.bodyParser());
app.use(c.cookieParser());
app.use(c.methodOverride());
app.configure(function() {app.use(app.router);});
app.use(c.session({secret: 'session key'}));
app.use("/marketplace", $data.JayService.OData.Utils.simpleBodyReader());
app.use("/marketplace", $data.JayService.createAdapter(marketplace.Context, function (req, res) {
return new marketplace.Context({
name: "mongoDB",
databaseName: "marketplace",
address: "localhost",
port: 27017
});
}));
app.use("/", c.static(__dirname));
app.use(c.errorHandler());
app.listen(8080);
The client is developed by using SAPUI5 and these are the parts of the code relative to the odata model creation:
oModel = sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel("http://localhost:8080/marketplace", false); // connection to the odata endpoint
oModel.setDefaultBindingMode(sap.ui.model.BindingMode.TwoWay);
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oModel);
The various services are correctly showed in a SAPUI5 table and I'm easily able to insert a new service by using the POST OData.request in this way:
OData.request({
requestUri: "http://localhost:8080/marketplace/Services",
method: "POST",
data: newEntry // json object with the new entry
},
function(insertedItem) {
// success notifier
},
function(err) {
// error notifier
}
);
and delete a service by using the SAPUI5 function oModel.remove() in this way (oParams is a json object which contains the alert notification functions):
var serviceId = oTable.getRows()[selectedIndex].getCells()[0].getText();
oModel.remove("/Services('" + serviceId + "')", oParams);
Everything works fine but the update request for a single service. I've tried with the functions provided by SAPUI5 (oModel.update or oModel.submitChanges), by using OData.request ("method: PUT"), by creating an ajax PUT request, I also tried to craft PUT request with Fiddler.
I always get error 404:
Request URL:http://localhost:8080/marketplace/Services('NTMzZDM3M2JlNjY2YjY3ODIwZjlmOTQ0')
Request Method:PUT
Status Code:404 Not Found
Where can be the problem?
I tried with Chrome, IE, and Firefox; same problem...
Thanks
Try to update with MERGE verb and pass the modified fields in JSON format inside the BODY

How to implement ReST services with Sails.js?

I am quite new to Node. I came across Sails.js. I think it is based on WebSocket, which seems to be really good for building real-time applications. I would like to know that whether Sails can be used to implement REST architecture as it uses WebSocket? And if yes, how?
Yes it can. Sails JS allows you to easily build a RESTful API, essentially with no effort to get started. Also, websockets (through socket.io) are integrated by default into the view and api.
To create a fully RESTful app from the ground up, it actually requires no JS. Try:
sails new testapp
cd testapp
sails generate model user
sails generate controller user
cd <main root>
sails lift
The CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) actions are already created for you. No code!
You can create a user in your browser by doing the following:
HTTP POST (using a tool like PostMan) to http://:1337/user/create
{
"firstName": "Bob",
"lastName": "Jones"
}
Next, do a GET to see the new user:
HTTP GET http://:1337/user/
FYI - Sails JS uses a default disk based database to get you going
Done.
sails new testapp
cd testapp
sails generate api apiName
controller
create: function (req, res) {
var payload = {
name:req.body.name,
price:req.body.price,
category:req.body.category,
author:req.body.author,
description:req.body.description
};
Book.create(payload).exec(function(err){
if(err){
res.status(500).json({'error':'something is not right'})
}else{
res.status(200).json({'success':true, 'result':payload, 'message':'Book Created success'})
}
});
},
readone: async function (req, res) {
var id = req.params.id;
var fff = await Book.find(id);
if(fff.length == 0){
res.status(500).json({'error':'No record found from this ID'})
}else{
res.status(200).json({'success':true, 'result':fff, 'message':'Record found'})
}
},
model
attributes: {
id: { type: 'number', autoIncrement: true },
name: { type: 'string', required: true, },
price: { type: 'number', required: true, },
category: { type: 'string', required: true, },

RESTful Model, get rid of the id query param in the GET request

I'm a little bit stuck here. My model code is
Ext.define('MyFancyModel', {
extend: 'Ext.data.Model',
fields: [
{ name: 'id', type: 'string' },
{ name: 'name', type: 'string' }
],
proxy: {
type: 'rest',
url: '/fancymodel',
noCache: false
}
});
When I try to load data by id using
Ext.ModelManager.getModel('MyFancyModel').load('some-id', {});
the request url is /fancymodel/some-id?id=some-id which is obviously not correct. So how can I achieve the right request url: /fancymodel/some-id without any patches or overrides?
EDIT:
jsfiddle
In the developer console you can see failed GET request
http://fiddle.jshell.net/fancymodel/some-id?id=some-id
EDIT:
Thread on the Sencha forum
I haven't found any ExtJS solution, so I have written a small patch (not sure it works in every situations) :
Ext.override(Ext.data.proxy.Rest, {
buildUrl: function (request) {
delete request.params.id;
return this.callParent(arguments);
}
});
The standard way :
Ext.define('MyPatches.data.proxy.Rest', {
override: 'Ext.data.proxy.Rest',
buildUrl: function (request) {
delete request.params.id;
return this.callParent(arguments);
}
});

Ember-data store PUT request

Is there any way to include the 'has many' models in the 'put' request sent using ember data-store REST adapter?
You can have embedded records by defining them on the adapter
Comment = DS.Model.extend({
votes: DS.hasMany(Vote)
});
Adapter.map(Comment, {
votes: { embedded: 'always' }
});
