Get Single Item by Id about angular-azure-mobile-service

[JeremyNevill]

Ah, looks like the lookup function in the underlying Azure service could be a winner, I'll see if patching that in does the job.

Instead of the complex query function for the criteria you can also pass an object that has the criteria that you want returned like so:

    Azureservice.query('tableName', {
        criteria: {
                id:1  //or what ever id you want returned
            }
        })
        .then(function(data){
                   ...
        },
         function(err){
            console.log(err);
        })

Let me know if this helps.

Terry,

Thanks for the reply, that looks a bit more straightforward than my first attempt ;-)

Here's what I added to my fork to include the underlying lookup method...

            /*
             Get single item in Azure

             @param string tableName       REQUIRED The name of the table to query
             @param string id              REQUIRED String id of the item to get
             @return promise               Returns a WindowsAzure promise
             */
            getSingleItem: function (tableName, id) {
                if (isNullOrUndefined(tableName)) {
                    console.error('Azureservice.update: You must specify a table name');
                    return null;
                }

                if (isNullOrUndefined(id)) {
                    console.error('Azureservice.update: You must specify the id');
                    return null;
                }

                return wrapAzurePromiseWithAngularPromise(getTable(tableName).lookup(id));
            }, 

Cheers,

Jeremy

I like the idea of having a connivence method for getting a singe item by id and for some reason I over looked the Azure client lookup method. Go ahead a submit a pull request for those changes. Maybe change the method name to getById since there is already a getAll method.

Cool. Will do...
