Loading other entities

[webdobe]

I was attempting to load a menu entity. I get:

angular.js:13920 TypeError: this[this.ucfirst(...)] is not a constructor
    at Object.jDrupal.entityLoad (http://localhost:9000/bower_components/jdrupal/jdrupal.js:452:16)

It looks like loading other entities besides comments users and nodes is not supported using the jDrupal api?

I added something like this:

jDrupal.Menu = function(machine_name) {

    // Set the entity keys.
    this.entityKeys['type'] = 'menu';

    // Prep the entity.
    jDrupal.entityConstructorPrep(this, machine_name);

    // Set default values.
    if (this.entity) {
        if (!this.entity.title) {
            this.entity.title = [ { value: '' }];
        }
    }

};

/**
 * Extend the entity prototype.
 * @type {jDrupal.Entity}
 */
jDrupal.Menu.prototype = new jDrupal.Entity;

/**
 * Set the constructor.
 * @type {jDrupal.Node|*}
 */
jDrupal.Menu.prototype.constructor = jDrupal.Menu;

Further into this looks like once this in place it doesn't try to get the correct endpoint.

It might be good to have something like:

jDrupal.Entity.prototype.getEntityEndpoint = function() {
  if (this.entityKeys['endpoint']) {
    return this.entityKeys['endpoint'] + '/';
  } else {
    return '';
  }
};

then:

jDrupal.Entity.prototype.load = function() {
  try {
    var _entity = this;
    var entityType = _entity.getEntityType();
    var entityEndpoint = _entity.getEntityEndpoint();
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {

      _entity.preLoad().then(function() {

        var path = jDrupal.restPath() + entityEndpoint +
            entityType + '/' + _entity.id() + '?_format=json';

Well... lol the menu entity didn't give me the tree lol there is a seperate module for that. Good exercise non the less... Still may be a good idea to do things like above.

@webdobe were you able to figure this out, or are you still having an issue here? Thanks.
