I have a very simple address application in AngularJS. It connects to an API using $resource.
The ID I use is the mobilephone number of the person (I know it's not the best way to do it, but it's just an sample application to show a 3-tier application setup) So I've 2 pages with the same form:
The problem i'm facing is that it uses the same $resource for saving a new address and saving an edited address. When iḿ saving a new address it has to use the url http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/contacts/ without an id appended on it (the new ID it will get on the api/database side is the filled in mobile phone number)
When I edit an existing address and click the save button it has to use another url; http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/contacts/#mobilePhone.
So i've read the angular documentation on https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource which states that you can override your paramDefaults in your actions. So that is what I try to do using this code:
$resource('http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/contacts/:id',{id:'#mobilePhone'},{
get: {
method: 'GET'
}, update: {
method: 'PUT'
}, save: {
method: 'POST',
id:''
}
},{});
which seems to be correct given the information. It appends the mobilePhone number on every GET and every PUT the get and update method respectively. When it calls the save method it should override the :id with an empty string, but it doesn't do that.
Clearly i'm doing something wrong.
If you need more code snipets let me know, I tried to keep it as clean as possible.
Update:
This is how I call the save method:
....
.controller('MovieCreateController',function($scope,$state,$stateParams,Movie){
$scope.movie=new Movie();
$scope.addMovie=function(){
$scope.movie.$save(function(){
$state.go('movies');
});
}
}
And this is the edit method:
....
.controller('MovieEditController',function($scope,$state,$stateParams,Movie){
$scope.updateMovie=function(){
$scope.movie.$update(function(){
$state.go('movies');
});
};
$scope.loadMovie=function(){
$scope.movie=Movie.get({id:$stateParams.id});
};
$scope.loadMovie();
});
There is not much code in your question, so I'll try to explain what you should do to use $resource.
Have a look at following code:
// The $resource service is a helper to create a 'constructor' function
// Contact below is a function
var Contact = $resource('http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/contact/:id',{id:'#mobilePhone'}, {
get: {
method: 'GET' // You don't need to override the GET
}, update: {
method: 'PUT'
}, save: {
method: 'POST'
}});
// Be sure to create an 'entity' from the Contact $resource
// The 'new' will create a $resource instance with $update, $save methods overridden methods
var contact = new Contact({name: 'foobar'});
contact.$save(); // Will send a POST request
contact.mobilePhone = 2; // This is your id !
contact.$update(); // Will send a PUT request
If your resources always have a RESTful representation, I suggest that you use, as per suggested at angular discussion on issue#9807:
resource.prototype.$save = function() {
if (this.id) {
return this.$update();
} else {
return this.$create();
}
};
..rather that always overriding your $resource methods.
This is how you need to call your save method
$scope.movie=new Movie();
$scope.addMovie=function(){
$scope.movie.$save(function(){
$state.go('movies');
});
}
This is how you need to call your edit method
$scope.movie=new Movie();
$scope.updateMovie=function(){
$scope.movie.$update({ "mobilePhone": $stateParams.id},function(){
$state.go('movies');
});
};
For that you need to create a factory for $resource.which is always recommendable
Try this
.factory('movie', ['$resource', function ($resource) {
return $resource('http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/contacts/:id',{id:'#mobilePhone'},{}, {
update: { method: 'PUT' },
query: {
method: 'GET',
isArray: false
}
})
}])
Inject your factory in your controller
.controller('MovieCreateController',['$scope','$state','$stateParams','movie',function($scope,$state,$stateParams,Movie){
}]);
I have been reading different posts with similar questions but I cannot get this figured out. I have a Job class that is linked to different tables such as Customer and Employee. The Data is coming back from the Database but I cannot get the Angular Table to display the linked classes. The suggestions have been to use different mods, restangular, angular-activerecord, ModelCore and this method
angular js model relationships
I am not sure the best route to take and what would be the simplest way of doing it.
app.factory('Job', function ($resource) {
return $resource('/api/apiJob/:id',

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:
$('#editJobModal').modal();
This is not recommended and I don't think it will work at all, when dealing with the DOM, always use directives and comunicate with them using bindings, thats the angular way.
Well after all this, my plunkr is showing the table with the 2 fake customers from the Json. Now I suggest you to study that code and apply those principles to your app.
I hope I could help or at least point you at the right direction.
I am trying to use ngResource to consume a firebase rest API. This API uses slightly different URLs for retrieving collections vs individual records. For example, I have a collection that I access with:
https://angular-resource-test.firebaseIO.com/systems.json
But if I want to access an individual system I use:
https://angular-resource-test.firebaseIO.com/systems/1.json
How do I specify a parameter-based URL for this in the resource declaration?
Normally I would do something like
app.factory('System', ['$resource', function($resource) {
var System = $resource(
'https://angular-resource-test.firebaseIO.com/systems/:id.json',
{id: "#id"},
{update: {method: "PUT"}}
);
return System;
}]);
But that fails for the collection because it lacks the trailing .json. Alternatively, when I specify a URL that works for the collection, the case of selecting individual rows fails. See this jsfiddle for an example:
http://jsfiddle.net/D5E6w/15/
There are 2 methods that send an HTTP GET in a resource.
get : Expect to receive an object
query : Expect to receive an array
Your api isn't very restful and because of this, you will need 2 resources to do what you want since they use different URI (see Carl's answer). I dont know if you can edit your REST service, but the good way to do it would be :
https://angular-resource-test.firebaseIO.com/systems/ for a query (expect an array)
https://angular-resource-test.firebaseIO.com/systems/:id for a get. (expect an object)
With this service, you could use your resource :
var System = $resource(
'https://angular-resource-test.firebaseIO.com/systems/:id',
{id: "#id"},
{update: {method: "PUT"}}
);
You would do your calls like this :
var systems = System.query({});
var system = System.get({id:1});
Your problem should be solved by using isArray: true for your query and get methods for System and SystemType. It has to do with how your json is formatted on the server-side. See angular docs for expanded discussion. http://jsfiddle.net/D5E6w/24/
{
update: { method: "PUT" },
query: { method: "GET", isArray: true },
get: { method: "GET", isArray: true }
}
Here is a working example with both a collection of systems and a single record. Note the isArray value for each. http://jsfiddle.net/D5E6w/51/
here is my solution with replacing the entire $resource URL. I needed that because I am using HAL Rest response and when paginating for instance, I wanted to replace the entire URL and not only params in it.
app.factory('$rest', ['$resource', 'HALParser', function($resource, HALParser) {
return function($url) {
$url = ($url == null) ? 'http://localhost:8000/:type' : $url;
return $resource($url, {type: ''}, {
update: { method:'PUT' },
get : {
method: 'GET',
transformResponse: [function(data) {
return (new HALParser()).parse(angular.fromJson(data));
}]
}
});
}
}]);
and then,
app.controller('VendorsController', ['$scope', '$rest',
function($scope, $rest) {
$scope.data = $rest().get({type: 'vendors'});
$scope.create = function() {
$rest().save({type: 'vendors'}, {name: $scope.item});
};
$scope.load = function($item) {
console.log($item);
};
$scope.page = function($url) {
$scope.data = $rest($url).get();
};
}]);
I simply wrapped $resource return from my service info a function with an argument URL.
