Agreed, good idea. Any chance you could submit a PR? Not sure when I have time for this.—

It would be nice if collection could be a function, allowing the same file to render a collection and an individual member.

Looking into this, I'm not sure if it makes sense to implement the requested feature. I don't think collection() is supposed to return the actual data.

Perhaps something like the following would work (i.e. reuse template for both endpoints)?

var g = require('dyson-generators');

var dummy = {
    path: '/dummy/:id',
    template: {
        id: function(params) {
            return params.id || g.id();
        },
        status: 'OK'
    }
};

var dummies = {
    path: '/dummy/',
    collection: true,
    template: dummy.template
};

module.exports = [dummy, dummies];

Otherwise, what is your specific use case?

It depends on the specific type of API you're mocking, sending back the initial collection data is fairly common.

But yes, I'll send a pull.

So I guess you mean just this (i.e. _.result()):

collection: function(params) {
    return conditionPerhapsUsingParams ? true : false;
}

That should be easy.

@terinjokes I missed your "pull" part, I implemented/released something that hopefully matches your needs. Can we close this?

from dyson.

Released in v0.3.1.
