Usefulness of idProp in selected items array?
I think the selected items array is better off as an array of id values instead of objects with an "id" property.
// Selected items array
[
{
"id": 2
},
{
"id": 1
}
]
vs
[2,1]
The idProp doesn't bring any value for most use cases since theres only 1 property on the object and its consistent. We just end up mapping the selected items array into an array of only values.
If this is a feature that you are still interested in could you please comment. Otherwise I'll close this issue after 2017/02/04
👍 still interested
something along of the lines of flatten-selected-model: true in settings
Has this request been implemented?
edit:
one possible work around to make it work with a REST API is to wrap the requested ids in objects like so:
GET: [1, 2, 3] in $scope: [{id: 1}, {id: 2}, {id: 3}]
$http.get(...) .then(function(data){ $scope.ids = data.ids.map(function(id){ return { id: id }; }; };
when posting the data, you'll have to unwrap the ids:
in $scope: [{id: 1}, {id: 2}, {id: 3}] POST: [1, 2, 3]
$scope.submit = function(){ data = $scope.ids.map(function(idObj){ return idObj.id; }; $http.post(...);
if someone knows a better way, please let me know!
