Great Job on adding Module_Data

[Rich Oren]

Awesome job on getting us a way to Consume the API from the front end. This is what I needed to get a project I have been working on where I can use BC. I would love to have a way to do POST PUT and DELETE but I'll take what I can get for now. I will use the Webforms for that for now.

This allows me to use Modern Dev frameworks like Angular, etc much easier and is a big win for the way I like to Design and Develop.

I create html pages with the Module_Data tag for each part of my API (i.e):

get-customers.html

{module_data resource="customers" version="v3" fields="id,firstName,middleName,lastName" skip="0" limit="10" order="id" collection="customerData"}

then call a function in in my Angular Controller or Service:

function getCustomers() {
      $http.get('/app/api/get-customers.html?json=true').
      success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        // this callback will be called asynchronously
        // when the response is available
        $log.debug(data);
      }).
      error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        // called asynchronously if an error occurs
        // or server returns response with an error status.
      });
    }

Super Easy.

Thank you very much!

Just as a note Richard - top limit of data is 500 per pagination set. Keep that in mind.

Also - Look at the liquid options first, lots of cases where you wont need to the javascript solution now.

Will do - Thank for the tips Liam.
