oData samples without Web API or EF Printed From: IdeaBlade Category: Breeze Forum Name: Community Forum Forum Discription: Build rich JavaScript apps using techniques you already know URL: http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3793 Printed Date: 25-Apr-2025 at 8:24am Topic: oData samples without Web API or EF Posted By: jpirok Subject: oData samples without Web API or EF Date Posted: 13-Nov-2012 at 6:23am I haven't seen any examples of using this framework that don't use Web API.  How would I use breeze against an odata service using only the server's metadata to define the model?  Will the context still be able to handle crud operations to a non web api service? I have seen     // service name is route to the Web API controller     var serviceName = 'api/CarBones';     /*** dataservice proper ***/         // manager (aka context) is the service gateway and cache holder     var manager = new entityModel.EntityManager(serviceName); Can I do something like replacing the serviceName with an oData uri and then continue using breeze as usual?     var serviceName = "http://localhost:1234/Northwind.svc" Thanks for your help!

For OData this would look like breeze.core.config.initializeAdapterInstance("dataService", "OData"); Make sure you make this call before creating your first EntityManager and remember to use an OData uri as the service name. This provides full OData query support.  OData saves have not yet been implemented although they are on the near term roadmap.  If you really need OData save functionality, you might want to vote for it on our Breeze User Voice  https://breezejs.uservoice.com/forums/173093-breeze-feature-suggestions - https://breezejs.uservoice.com/forums/173093-breeze-feature-suggestions . We take that venue seriously in making decisions about what to do next. Note: we changed the "plugin/adapter" model with v 0.70 of Breeze.  Older versions use a now obsolete method breeze.core.config.setProperties( {     remoteAccessImplementation: breeze.entityModel.remoteAccess_odata });
