My response body looks like this:
{
"code": 200,
"message": Items succesfully retrieved,
"items": [
{
...
}
]
}
I was using $http before so i didn't have this problem but i've decided to switch to ngResource because it seemed better. And i'm sure i'm doing it wrong, so if you could please tell me how to target 'items' (in this example) to be the returned object (same for put, post, ...)
Here is the sample of code i've made to try out ngResource
app.factory("Product", function($resource,APILINK) {
return $resource(APILINK+"/api/v1/products/:id", {id: '#id'}, {
query: {method: 'GET',
isArray: false
},
update: { method: 'PUT' }
});
});
I don't really know if it's a good way to build my REST Api sending the code and message. But it feels much cleaner this way :'(
Do I need to modify the json sent by my REST Api ? Or is there a way to make ngResource ignore "code" and "message" in the response body ?
Setting the status code and message in your data transfer (json) object might not be the way to go. Is it necessary to access the status code?
The documentation on $resource reads as follows:
HTTP GET "class" actions: Resource.action([parameters], [success],
[error])
non-GET "class" actions: Resource.action([parameters],
postData, [success], [error])
non-GET instance actions:
instance.$action([parameters], [success], [error])
So, every $resource call gives us a success and error callback.
For example:
var Product = $resource('/api/as/product');
Product.query(function(items) {
// success handler
}, function(error) {
// error handler
});
You might not be able to read the status code, but you have knowledge about whether or not your call was successful.
Alternatively, you can look into interceptors if getting the status code is a must:
// Resource
var Product = $resource(url, {}, {
get: {
method: 'GET'
interceptor: {
response: function(response) {
var result = response.resource;
result.$status = response.status;
return result;
}
}
}
});
// Caller
Product.get(params, function(result) {
console.log('status code: ' + result.$status);
});
When a call is made with this resource, we will intercept the result, add the status code to it from the response and then return it to the caller.
When you reference your get and put and other REST verbs, you can specify the items object.
GET Example:
var itemList = Product.query({ id: 12345 }).items;
PUT Example:
var MyItemList = {
"code": 200,
"message": "Items succesfully retrieved",
"items": [ { ... }, { ... }, { ... } ]
}
Product.update({ id: 12345 }, MyItemList.items);
Although if you're just sending itemList from the first example, you already have it narrowed down to just the items[] array which won't include the code and message.
I have been reading different posts with similar questions but I cannot get this figured out. I have a Job class that is linked to different tables such as Customer and Employee. The Data is coming back from the Database but I cannot get the Angular Table to display the linked classes. The suggestions have been to use different mods, restangular, angular-activerecord, ModelCore and this method
angular js model relationships
I am not sure the best route to take and what would be the simplest way of doing it.

First of all, this is a work in progress. Your code is very large and to solve this I removed a lot o noise from your plunkr, I left there only what's essential to make it work and only the code involved in it.
Working Demo
First thing to notice, on your JobController you are doing:
////GET Jobs
$scope.jobArray = Job.query();
This worked on previous versions of angular, on the current version there is no automatic promise unwrapping anymore, so you must use the then function:
////GET Jobs
Job.query().then(function(retrievedData){
$scope.jobArray = retrievedData;
});
Notice that on the plunkr I "mocked" the returning of data using $q and a timeout, I actually cleaned the json leaving only the properties that are used on the table, just to make it simpler, you don't need to do that on your code ok? Just keep that part as it is.
Maybe you'll have to modify it just to resolve the promise with the returned data, but this is up to you, the important thing is to return a promise from your query() method and resolve it.
On the HTML I noticed that you are binding the customer name like this:
<td>{{job.Customers.CustomerName}}</td>
But on your Json, the Customers property is an array of customers, so you either return one customer from your api or bind it like this:
<td>{{job.Customers[0].CustomerName}}</td>
I also noticed that there are a lot of jQuery references on your controllers like this:
$('#editJobModal').modal();
This is not recommended and I don't think it will work at all, when dealing with the DOM, always use directives and comunicate with them using bindings, thats the angular way.
Well after all this, my plunkr is showing the table with the 2 fake customers from the Json. Now I suggest you to study that code and apply those principles to your app.
I hope I could help or at least point you at the right direction.
