Services

Introduction

Services are simply data providers or managers. Instead of calling the API server directly from your controller or library, you should call the API via a service. Your controllers and libraries may use data from the API, but they should not take care of how to obtain it – that's for the service.

How to use

Services are located in app/services/*.js and must be added to the autoload part of config.js to be loaded. Controllers would be able to access the following service's method via app.services.myService.getData(function(data) { ... }).

app.services.myService = function() {
    this.getData = function(callback) {
        app.core.api.get('/get/data', callback);
    };
};
