Angularjs ngResource '@id'

angularjs, javascript, routes, ruby-on-rails-3

Solution

From the AngularJs documentation:

"If the parameter value is prefixed with @ then the value of that parameter is extracted from the data object (useful for non-GET operations)."

This means that when calling a non-GET operation, like POST, you can pass the id as one of the fields of the data object you include in the call.

Problem

I have a quick question. In angular js where (like which object) does the '@id' come from in the following piece of code from a rails app? ``` var User = $resource("/users/:id", {id: '@id'}); ``` I know it sets the default id. Thanks
