eventSourceDataTransform to preprocess event data (such as JSON)

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 2166

Similare to eventDataTransform:

...but given the root object (be it an array of events, or some higher-level object),
and will return an array of events for fullcalendar to use.

Will be a robust solution for solving problems such as Issue 1733

The eventDataTransform does not give me the chance to discard any incoming json objects.

The flow goes like this :
1.you call the server for events, who will have an unknown json structure
2.eventDataTransform kicks in to map the json to fullCalendar eventObjects
3.what if i encounter some events that I want to consider illegal? and discard them?

The eventDataTransform does not do this, it returns a default eventObject if the return
of the transformer is null or false. Ideally the eventDataTransform would not map an
eventObject if the transformer returns false.

@LorenGRX, can you open up a new issue regarding your proposed enhanced behavior about
eventDataTransform? We'll keep this issue focused on eventSourceDataTransform.

This seems to be stale. Do you require help with it? I see this as very useful, since it's a doubful API style to return JSON arrays.

I would love to see this added

i'll get this done for v4. in the meantime, it's rather easy to hack the source code of v3 to get this to work

This issue has been addressed in the latest alpha release (4.0.0-alpha.2)

I'm closing this issue to signify that it's implemented (since v4-alpha2). I'll comment on this thread again when v4 is officially released.

V4 was officially released a few days ago!
