ir.controller.configure(,{customMethods},) should get "this" assigned to the controller

[ax1]

When any method is defined in the controller, the this object is the controller itself ir.controller().myMethod=funct(){//this===controller}

This behavior should be the same for the custom methods that are executed after REST calls, that is, these functions should get the controller as this object (currently, this=>the object containing the customMethods, that is useless)

Possible solutions

• don't define in the controller any function but use in the controller the names of the functions to be used. Example the read() method can have beforeRead() and afterRead(), so if no funct is defined, nothing happens but the inside the read() code there are statements to check that if these functions exist, they should be invoked.
• other options, the first one is enough simple to understand for any developer so it is preferred

don't forget to update documentation on create read update remove...

[ax1]

Custom methods now have the implicit this object assigned to the controller.

Note: the custom functions can be declared either as function() {} or as arrow () => {} but the first is preferred for these functions since the arrow assigns the this in runtime and it could be a different object than the controller.

See controller for examples.
