How to read response from angular resource $save() and also keeping original data

Question

I am new to Angular. I am sure I am missing some basic stuff here. I have one object which I post to the server to create it. The Server returns the object Id, which I need to read and update the object I have in the client. The server will only return the object ID, however, at the client side, I have other data which I am not able to use when I perform a callback (I don't have access to the original data).

Following is similar approach for $update.

```
 //keep original data to pass into callback
 var originalProjectObject = angular.copy(project);

 project.$update({ projectid: project._id }, function (projectResponse) 
 {
   originalProjectObject._id = projectResponse._id;
   //update scope
   scope.project = originalProjectObject;                        
 },originalProjectObject);
```
