ui5-restmodel

A "serverside" REST extension of the OpenUI5 JSONModel

Initialize your model as usual, but with a defined service URL, for instance:

var oModel = new RESTModel();
oModel.initServiceURL("http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts");

this.getView().setModel(oModel);

You can CREATE:

// HTTP POST to service url root, i.e. http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
oModel.create({
    title: 'foo',
    body: 'bar',
    userId: 1
},
function(oData) {
    // success
},
function(oError) {
    // error
});

or UPDATE:

// HTTP PUT to for instance http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
oModel.update(1, {
    title: 'foo',
    body: 'bar',
    userId: 1
},
function(oData) {
    // success
},
function(oError) {
    // error
});

or DELETE:

// HTTP DELETE to for instance http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
oModel.delete(1,
function(oData) {
    // success
},
function(oError) {
    // error
});

After a successful response, the model will simply be reloaded from the service URL -- It is therefore the responsibility of the serverside logic to update the data accordingly

All JSONModel methods can be applied as well
