Angularjs resource query() result array as a property

angular-resource, angularjs, javascript

Solution

With the latest Angular version (1.1.2 or later), you can configure the resource with a transformResponse:

var MyResource = $resource(
    '/author.js',
    {},
    {
        'get': {
            method: 'GET',
            transformResponse: function (data) {return angular.fromJson(data).list},
            isArray: true //since your list property is an array
        }
    }
);

Problem

I like the way the `query()` method returns an array of resources, which can be saved to the server again. I am trying to use Angular against the Drupal RestWS module, which returns an object with several "meta" properties and a property called list where the actual data are stored. Is there please a way of telling the resource to take that array instead ? Example : `GET author.json` returns : ``` first: "http://dgh/author?page=0" last: "http://dgh/author?page=0" list: [{id:1, type:author, uid:{uri:http://dgh/user/1, id:1, resource:user}, created:1367770006,…},…] self: "http://dgh/author" ```
