How to $decode an array of strings

[waleedasif322]

First off, I'd like to thank the creators and contributors for this fantastic plugin, I've been using it for a while and it's really robust!

After I call $collection().$fetch() on a model, my server returns an array of strings. I know how to add a mixin to the model to accept an object instead of an array, as I've done before. The problem I'm having now is restmod expects objects inside the array. How do I configure this?

angular.module('app.models')
  .factory('AppointmentSlot', function(restmod) {
    return restmod.model('/appointment_slots').mix({
        // Don't know how to serialize an array of strings like: ["2015-12-04T15:00:00.000Z", "2015-12-04T15:30:00.000Z"]
    });
  });

Record $decode expected an object is the error I get.

Thanks!

I'm having a similar issue, did you find a solution to this in the end?

@waleedasif322 perhaps this will help? #224

Hey, I didn't figure it out yet, but if I do, will post back here. Right now I'm just using angular's $http in place of restmod for this particular API

Thanks for that :-)

You can define your own Model.unpack function to re-formate the response coming straight from the server. If you are still in need of the code, I can post it out here.
