Schema and proxy

[bereachad]

I am trying to create a base model (Ext.data.Model), that defines a schema, namer and proxy. The API that we are using has default endpoints that are pluralized entity names, for example "Shelf" will become "Shelves".

We have a proxy that looks like this defined on the base model but I have noticed that since the framework does a run then replace method, it doesn't work as expected and was wondering if anyone can give some help in terms of trying to get this to work as expected.

proxy:{ 
  type: 'rest', 
  actionMethods:{ 
    create: 'POST', 
    read: 'GET',
    update: 'PUT', 
    destroy: 'DELETE' 
  },
  url: apiURL + Ext.util.Inflector.pluralize('{entityName}'), 
  reader: { 
    type: 'json', 
    dateFormat: 'C', 
    rootProperty: 'data' 
  }
}

The issue we have is that when my entityName is "Shelf", it then pluralizes '{entityName}' to '{entityName}s, and then when entityName is put in the template, it then runs the Inflector on Shelfs, and doesn't turn it into Shelves as expected.

I poked around a bit in the schema and proxy classes to find a better way to do this without having to create more properties on the model, but can't find a better direction. Does anyone have some suggestions?

The problem is that the template formatting doesn't have access to the inflector methods. Try something like this:

Ext.define('MyApp.model.Base', {
        extend: 'Ext.data.Model',

        requires: ['Ext.util.Inflector'],

        schema: {
            namespace: 'MyApp.model',
            proxy: {
                type: 'rest',
                actionMethods: {
                    create: 'POST',
                    read: 'GET',
                    update: 'PUT',
                    destroy: 'DELETE'
                },
                url: '/api/{entityName:inflectorPlural}',
                reader: {
                    type: 'json',
                    dateFormat: 'C',
                    rootProperty: 'data'
                }
            }
        }
    }, function() {
        var I = Ext.util.Inflector;
        Ext.util.Format.inflectorPlural = I.pluralize.bind(I);
    });

    Ext.define('MyApp.model.Shelf', {
        extend: 'MyApp.model.Base'
    });

    console.log(MyApp.model.Shelf.getProxy().getUrl());
