How pass additional parameters to index action in Rest proxy?

[szimek]

Hi,

I'd like to add a static param to be sent when fetching records using Rest proxy. I tried adding it to "extraParams" in proxy config, but then they are sent on *every* request, while I want them to be sent only on index action.

Also, I'm currently dynamically adding authentication token to every request in "beforeload" and "beforesync" listeners (it sucks that extraParams can't be a function that returns an object).

What's the best way to add custom params just to "index" requests?

Cheers,
Szymon

As the docs state, extraParams will be included in every request so yes, you would have to listen to beforeload/beforesync to add params to the request.

Thanks.

It sucks that extraParams can't be a function, because now I have to set the same thing in beforeload and beforesync handlers. It would be awesome if I could do something like this:

config: {
  extraParams: function () {
    return { auth_token: MyApp.user.getAuthToken() }
  }
}

and then just add additional filtering params to index requests in beforeload handlers.
