ic-transform-response - Transform Response attribute

Summary

This attribute is a javascript expression that will be evaluated after a response is received, allowing the client side to transform the given response (e.g. from JSON to HTML)

Syntax

This attribute is a valid javascript expression, evaluated within an isolated scope.

This attribute may be placed on parent elements, allowing you to specify behavior across multiple elements.

Available symbols are:

• content - The string content of the server response
• url - The URL that the content came from
• elt - The element that triggered the request

The ic-transform-response attribute can be placed on an parent element, allowing general request processing for an entire page. Intercooler will find the closest element with this attribute and evaluate it.

Note that, due to the way intercooler evaluates expressions, you must include a return statement in this attribute to return the value.

Example

Here is a simple example, using a poll interval to update a list coming from a JSON end point and ic-transform-response to convert that JSON into HTML:

        <ul ic-get-from="/ips"
            ic-poll="1s"
            ic-transform-response="return jsonToHTML(content)">
          <li>No Data Yet...</li>
        </ul>
