Render instructions with asynchronous callback

[Juha Mustonen]

Hi,

Is it possible to use asynchronous function when providing rendering instructions to Transparency?

As an example:

var data = [{id: 123}, {id: 422}];

var renderInstructions = {'user': {html: function(){
  var formattedData = 'placeholder';
  // Fetch actual data from backend
  $.getJSON('backend/user', {id: this.id} function(completeData) {
    formattedData = completeData.firstName + ' ' + completeData.lastName;
  }
  return formattedData;
};


// <ul><li class="user"></li></ul>
$('ul').render(data, renderInstructions);

Or what is the suggested approach in these cases?

Br,

Juha

Call render() from $.getJSON() success callback?
