HalDocument

When fetching a list of resources, some other data may be retrieved in the response (ie. pagination information).

Note: HalDocument is opinionated. If behaviours of HalDocument are not fully suitable for your case, you can create an additional class which extends HalDocument and then use that class instead of pure HalDocument class. (TBD this feature still does not exist)

When an instance of HalDocument is created, it gets two parameters in the constructor:

• rawResponse: HttpResponse<any>

  • response retrieved from the API

• modelClass: ModelConstructor<T>

  • model class which will be used for creating models

Once instantiated, HalDocument parses rawResponse and generates models and pagination properties.

Properties

• models: Array<Model>

  • instances of modelClass class which is passed through the constructor

• pagination: Pagination

  • instance of Pagination class, TODO make a way to override Pagination class on DatastoreService level, and on ModelService level
