How-to start a service (even at startup) ======================================== At times it is useful to have a service be the first thing a user sees when the application loads. To start a service, dispatch the start service action! This example will start the identify service: .. code:: javascript app.startService('identify'); Adding the above code at the end of the ``app.loadMapbook`` function will have the effect of starting the service at startup. Starting a service with default values -------------------------------------- Field values can be passed into the service and can optionally be executed automatically. With detailed code comments: .. code:: javascript app.startService( // the first parameter is the name of the service // as it is registered in the 'single-search', // second parameter is the startup options { // if `autoGo` is true the service will start autoGo: true, // these values will be mixed-in with the other defaults // defined by the service. defaultValues: { TERM: 'smith' } } ); The short version: .. code:: javascript app.startService('single-search', {autoGo: true, defaultValues: {TERM: 'smith'}}); Adding service-query parameters to startup ------------------------------------------ Add the following at the end of the `loadMapbook` handler: .. code:: javascript app.startServiceFromQuery() With this code in `app.js` it is possible to start a service from the URL when GeoMoose is opened. The following example works with the simple search service: .. code:: javascript http://localhost:4000/examples/desktop/index.html?service=single-search&field:TERM=anders
