Post With Collections about dyson

I noticed an issue in setting up the defaults (i.e. not setting a default for size). I've fixed that.

So either you need to set size (as a number of function), or update to the version I just released (0.3.5) and use _.random(2, 10) as the default for size without setting anything for that prop yourself.

Does that help?

Hey thx for the quick reply and bugfix.

It kinda worked but, the way i'm using the POST method is kinda wrong i think.

If i want different content out and be able to switch template depending what request query i supply how do i do that?

This is how i'm doing it right now:

var g = require('dyson-generators');
var faker = require('faker');

var products = {
path: '/api/search',
cache: false,
collection: true,
size: 5,
template: {
id: g.random(5),
Producturl: faker.internet.domainName(),
PicutureUrl: "",
name: "xxxxxx",
stock: {
city: {
name: g.address.city(),
amount: g.random(20)
},
central: g.random(40)
}
},
container: {
layout: 'group',
product: function(params, query, data){
return data;
}
}
};

module.exports = products;

Sorry that was my get. The post is here.

var g = require('dyson-generators');
var faker = require('faker');

var domainName = 'http://www.xxx/';

var outputtemplate = {
ProductUrl: domainName + faker.helpers.randomNumber(555),
ImageUrl: faker.image.imageUrl(30,30,'cats'),
ProductName: faker.company.catchPhraseAdjective(),
ProductSupplierNo: faker.helpers.randomNumber(9999999999)
};

var products = {
path: '/api/search',
collection: true,
size: 5,
template: outputtemplate
};

module.exports = products;

FYI, code is much better readable if you'd put it in code blocks (you can still edit).

I think your question might be answered by saying that most things (the template itself, or individual template properties) can be a function (https://github.com/webpro/dyson#endpoint-configuration), and these functions are invoked with the request parameters and query.
