bindData
Purpose
Allows find grained control of binding request parameters from strings onto objects and the necessary types (data binding)Examples
// binds request parameters to a target object
bindData(target, params)
// exclude firstName and lastName (since 0.4)
bindData(target, params, 'firstName', 'lastName')
// only use parameters starting with "author." e.g. author.email (since 0.5.5)
bindData(target, this.params, "author")
bindData(target, this.params, 'firstName', 'lastName', "author")
Description
Usage: bindData(target, params, excludes, prefix)
Arguments:
target
- The target object to bind to
params
- The source parameters, can be either a map or the params object
excludes
- The parameters to exclude
prefix
