On that other site that shall not be named, reference request questions are outlawed as "asking for an off-site resource". What do you guys think about such questions? Should they be welcome here?...
Do you need to write this yourself? That is, are you sure there is no library that could do this for you? After all, the angular services generated by the typescript-angular language binding of the...
