Windchill REST API custom function return collection of custom type

How to modify the bellow example such that the custom function returns a collection of custom complexType records as JSON instead of only a single record?

 

rest/custom/domain/ToastsDomain.json

 

{
	"name": "ToastsDomain",
	"id": "ToastsDomain",
	"description": "ToastsDomain Domain",
	"nameSpace": "CUSTOM.ToastsDomain",
	"containerName": "Windchill",
	"defaultVersion": "1"
}

 

 

 

 

rest/custom/domain/ToastsDomain/v1/complexType/Toast.json

 

{
    "name": "Toast",
    "collectionName": "Toasts",
    "description": "No description.",
    "attributes": [
        {
            "name": "key",
            "type": "String"
        },
        {
            "name": "value",
            "type": "String"
        }
    ]
}

 

 

 

 

rest/custom/domain/ToastsDomain/v1/import.json

 

{
	"imports": [
		{"name": "PTC", "version": "3"}
	],
    "includeImportedEntitySets":false,
    "usePropertyPaths":true,
    "functions": [
        {
            "name": "GetToasts",
            "importName": "GetToasts",
            "description": "No description.",
            "includeInServiceDocument": false,
            "parameters": [
                {

                    "type": "String",
                    "isNullable": false
                }
            ],
            "returnType": {
                "type": "CUSTOM.ToastsDomain.Toast",
                "isCollection": false
            }
        }
    ]
}

 

 

 

 

rest/custom/domain/ToastsDomain/v1/import.js

 

function function_GetToasts(data, params) {
	var input = params.get('input').getValue();
	
	var ComplexValue = Java.type('org.apache.olingo.commons.api.data.ComplexValue');
	var complexValue = new ComplexValue();
	var Property = Java.type('org.apache.olingo.commons.api.data.Property');
	var ValueType = Java.type('org.apache.olingo.commons.api.data.ValueType');
	complexValue.getValue().add(new Property("String", "key", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, 'msg'));
	complexValue.getValue().add(new Property("String", "value", ValueType.PRIMITIVE, input));

	var EntityAttribute = Java.type('com.ptc.odata.core.entity.property.EntityAttribute');
	var PropertyValueType = Java.type('com.ptc.odata.core.entity.property.PropertyValueType');
	var entity = new EntityAttribute(null, 'Toast', PropertyValueType.COMPLEX, complexValue);
	return entity;
}
