Description

Uwe Jäger:
if you implement the ViewModel interface you have to have a constructor with a single String argument so the memento can be used for example to fetch some entities.
But right now with 2.0.0-M9 this can not be done directly in the constructor (fetching an entity) since services that have to be injected haven't been injected when the constructor is executed.
For now I have to have an extra action that the user can execute after the ViewModel is created.
Is this by design and is there a way to fetch some entity directly in the view models constructor? There used to be a viewModelInit method which made that possible if I understand correctly.
