Find One (Blueprint)

Look up the record with the specified id from the database and (if possible) subscribe to the record to hear about any future changes.

GET /:model/:id

The findOne() blueprint action returns a single record from the model (given by :model) as a JSON object. The specified id is the primary key of the desired record.

If the action was triggered via a socket request, the requesting socket will be "subscribed" to the returned record. If the record is subsequently updated or deleted, a message will be sent to that socket's client informing them of the change. See the docs for .subscribe() for more info.

Parameters

Parameter Type Details
model The identity of the containing model.

e.g. 'purchase' (in /purchase/7)
id The desired target record's primary key value

e.g. '7' (in /purchase/7).
callback Optional. If specified, a JSONP response will be sent (instead of JSON). This is the name of the client-side javascript function to call, passing results as the first (and only) argument

e.g. ?callback=myJSONPHandlerFn

Example

Find the purchase with id #1:

GET /purchase/1

Run in Postman

Expected Response
{
   "amount": 49.99,
   "id": 1,
   "createdAt": "2013-10-18T01:22:56.000Z",
   "updatedAt": "2013-10-18T01:22:56.000Z"
 }
