Returns

{Instance}:

the typed instance created from the passed props object

Usage

The following example makes the connection produce Todo typed objects including a complete method:

var constructor = require("can-connect/constructor/");
var dataUrl = require("can-connect/data/url/");

// define type constructor
var Todo = function(rawData){
  // add raw data to new instance
  Object.assign(this, rawData);
};

// add methods to custom type
Todo.prototype.complete = function(){
  this.completed = true;
}

// create connection
var todosConnection = connect([constructor, dataUrl], {
  url: "/todos",
  instance: function(rawData) {
    return new Todo(rawData);
  }
});

// use connection to get typed instance & use custom method
todosConnection.get({id: 5}).then(function(todo){
  todo.completed; // false
  todo.complete();
  todo.completed; // true
});
