Configuration

Firstly, create your Datastore service:

• Extend the JsonApiDatastore class
• Decorate it with @JsonApiDatastoreConfig, set the baseUrl for your APIs and map your models (Optional: you can set apiVersion, baseUrl will be suffixed with it)
• Pass the HttpClient depencency to the parent constructor.

import { JsonApiDatastoreConfig, JsonApiDatastore, DatastoreConfig } from 'angular2-jsonapi';

const config: DatastoreConfig = {
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:8000/v1/',
  models: {
    posts: Post,
    comments: Comment,
    users: User
  }
}

@Injectable()
@JsonApiDatastoreConfig(config)
export class Datastore extends JsonApiDatastore {

    constructor(http: HttpClient) {
        super(http);
    }

}

Then set up your models:

• Extend the JsonApiModel class
• Decorate it with @JsonApiModelConfig, passing the type
• Decorate the class properties with @Attribute
• Decorate the relationships attributes with @HasMany and @BelongsTo
• (optional) Define your Metadata

import { JsonApiModelConfig, JsonApiModel, Attribute, HasMany, BelongsTo } from 'angular2-jsonapi';

@JsonApiModelConfig({
    type: 'posts'
})
export class Post extends JsonApiModel {

    @Attribute()
    title: string;

    @Attribute()
    content: string;

    @Attribute({ serializedName: 'created-at' })
    createdAt: Date;

    @HasMany()
    comments: Comment[];
}

@JsonApiModelConfig({
    type: 'comments'
})
export class Comment extends JsonApiModel {

    @Attribute()
    title: string;

    @Attribute()
    created_at: Date;

    @BelongsTo()
    post: Post;

    @BelongsTo()
    user: User;
}

@JsonApiModelConfig({
    type: 'users'
})
export class User extends JsonApiModel {

    @Attribute()
    name: string;
    // ...
}
