Always return data

[wbashir]

Is there a way to always return the data array instead of the traditional formatted status and data request like so:

"data": [
    {
      "courseCredits": 4,
      "name": "SEIS45",
      "courseCode": "SESI452",
      "description": "Great class",
      "_id": "4a3nYgGSKTvZtbc5u"
    }
  ]

Unfortunately, the only way to alter the response in the collection routes at the moment is to override the individual collection endpoints, which is a terrible solution. The good news is that this is very high on my priority list, and will be resolved in the first update after the Iron Router dependency is removed. What you need is a hook that runs immediately before the response is returned in collection endpoints, allowing you to modify the default response. I'll also allow the default endpoints to be completely overridden, in case you want to do something completely different but want to keep things DRY. This is related to #42, #12 , and #18. I'll keep you posted on any progress.

Hi @kahmali, @wbashir
I have more less same question. I want to receive only data without any status and data prefixes:

{
    "_id": "QjCjP2DwqHqZJq54f"
    "name": "item name",
    "createdBy": "BeNTtaupkj5JfpJcH",
    "createdAt": "2016-06-18T10:00:04.113Z",
    "isPrivate": false,
    "isDeleted": false
}

instead of

{
    "status": "success",
    "data": [
        {
            "_id": "QjCjP2DwqHqZJq54f"
            "name": "item name",
            "createdBy": "BeNTtaupkj5JfpJcH",
            "createdAt": "2016-06-18T10:00:04.113Z",
            "isPrivate": false,
            "isDeleted": false
        }
    ]
}

Maybe somebody have solution?
