Hi all

Is there an angular resource of some sort inside the api that can get prevalues from PropertyTypes?

I noticed the umbraco api has an angular filter called ncNodeName (in umbraco.filters.js). it takes a nodeId and returns the name of the node.

Awesome stuff & easy to use. especially with nested content. Now I want to do the same thing with propertyTypes, only to display the selected prevalue. The related filter does not exist as far as I now, so I attempted to construct it myself. The filter is based on the ncNodeNameFilter. I got the following result:

// Filter to take a propertytype id and grab it's prevalues instead
// Usage: {{ propertyTypeAlias | ncResolveId: aliasName }}

// Cache for node names so we don't make a ton of requests
var ncPropertyTypeCache = {
    prevalues: {}
}

angular.module("umbraco.filters").filter("ncPropertyType", function (dataTypeResource) {

    return function (input, alias) {
        // Check we have a value at all
        if (input === '' || input.toString() === '0') {
            return '';
        }

        // See if there is a value in the cache and use that
        if (ncPropertyTypeCache.prevalues[input]) {
            return ncPropertyTypeCache.prevalues[input];
        }
        // No value, so go fetch one 
        // We'll put a temp value in the cache though so we don't 
        // make a load of requests while we wait for a response
        ncPropertyTypeCache.keys[input] = 'Loading...';
        dataTypeResource.getPreValues(alias, null).then(function (prevalues) {
            console.log(prevalues);
            ncPropertyTypeCache.prevalue[input] = prevalues;
        });        

        // Return the current value for now
        return ncPropertyTypeCache.prevalues[input];
    };

});

The issue here is that dataTypeResource does not return the propertytype. I can only pass things over like 'umbraco.dropdown.flexible', not the ones I created. The returned values are kinda useless. I need to go a level deeper, but at first glance there is no resource available? Am I overlooking something?

Thanks in advance
