Installation

# Bower
bower install selfbits-angular-sdk

Include the script:

<script src="bower_components/dist/selfbits-angular.min.js"></script>

Usage

Step 1: App Module

angular.module('MyApp', ['selfbitsAngular'])
    .config(function($sbApiProvider) {
        /* Your App Domain */
        $sbApiProvider.domain = 'YourSbAppDomain';
        /* Your Selfbits App ID */
        $sbApiProvider.appId = 'yourSbAppId';
        /* OPTIONAL: your Selfbits App Secret
           NOTE: on public clients we highly recommend to set Allowed Origins in your Selfbits BaaS Project Dashboard instead of using the Secret
        */
        $sbApiProvider.appSecret = 'yourSbAppSecret';
    })

Step 2: Controller

Note: this example uses vm syntax. Using $scope is just fine.

angular.module('MyApp')
    .controller(function($sbApi, $sbDatabase) {
        var vm = this;
        vm.login = function (user) {
            $sbApi.login(user).then(function() {
                 // DO SOMETHING AFTER LOGIN
                });
        }
        vm.signup = function (user) {
            $sbApi.signup(user).then(function() {
                 // DO SOMETHING AFTER SIGNUP
                });
        }
    })

Parameters

Returns

• $resource an Angular HTTP $resource object

Usage

Angulars <a href='https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource' target='\_blank'>$resource</a> is a powerful to manipulate data in the database in a REST-Style manner. Our API offers the get save update and delete methods to retrieve and edit data in a specific table. In addition you can use sophisticated <a href='http://mongoosejs.com/docs/queries.html' target='\_blank'>Mogoose Querys</a> to retrieve exactly the data you need. Please read the linked docs to get a deeper understanding, as covering all the mechanics here is not possible. Despite, we provide a few examples to demonstrate what's possible.

// Select the active database and bind the resource object to a variable
var todo = $sbDatabase.table('todo');

// retrieve all todos and bind them to the $scope
$scope.myTodos = todo.get();

// retrieve single todo by id and bind it to $scope
$scope.singleTodo = todo.get({_id:"57879806aeb310dc651899ef"});

// retrieve all todos and bind them to the $scope
// but this time also request meta data and deep-linked objects
$scope.myTodos = todo.get({ meta: true, deep: true});

// retrieve all todos and bind them to the $scope
// but this time apply a mongoose filter and
// sort descending (-) by occupation and ascending (+) by _id
$scope.myTodos = todo.get({
  filter: {
      occupation: 'host',
      age: {
          $gt: 17,
          $lt: 66
      },
      likes: {
          $in: ['vaporizing', 'talking']
      }
    },
  sort: '-occupation +_id'  
});

// save a todo object to the database
var newTodo = {
    title: 'Buy Milk',
    description: 'Please get fresh milk from Wholefoods'
}
todo.save(newTodo);

// use custom error and result handling
var newTodo = {
    title: 'Buy Milk',
    description: 'Please get fresh milk from Wholefoods'
}
todo.save(newTodo, function(res){
  //do something with the response
}, function(err) {
  //handle an error
});
