bindData

Purpose

Allows fine 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:

The underlying implementation uses Spring's Data Binding framework. If the target is a domain class type conversion errors are stored in the errors property of the domain class.
