[aerogear-dev] proper way to use AeroGear.Pipeline with parameter fed REST endpoint

[Kris Borchers]

Thanks for trying out AeroGear!

I think what you are looking for are the docs for read (and save). In those methods, you can specify your record ID which will be appended to the URL. The docs are here http://aerogear.org/docs/specs/aerogear-js/AeroGear.Pipeline.adapters.Rest.html#read

In your example, you would want to do something like:

var schoolMenuPipe = AeroGear.Pipeline([ {
			name : "schoolmenu",
			recordId : "someID", //by default this is "id" but you can change it
			settings : {
				baseURL : "/harpsterserver/rest/p1/"
			}
		} ]).pipes.schoolmenu;

This will use schoolmenu as the endpoint. Then, in your read, you would do:

schoolMenuPipe.read( { id: 1 } );

That would give you the record where someID=1.

Hope that makes sense and let us know if you have more questions.
