angular.forEach and objects

Question

The Problem: I'm doing (what I think is but maybe isn't) a simple `angular.forEach` over an array then using `$resource` to make a call based on each value returned. The result of each call is an object, as I'm expecting. But, I can't get these objects to join harmoniously in the way the angular.forEach documentation demonstrates. But first, some code that works and then a look at code that fails. Works: ``` var uniqueIds = {}; angular.forEach(object, function(key, value){ this.push(key.uniqueIds); }, uniqueIds); console.log(uniqueIds) // uniqueIds equals the expected array ``` Fails Here's where things get tricky. Now, in the next sample, inside the `angular.forEach` is a `$resource` call. ``` angular.forEach(array, function(index){ Resource.query({id:index}, function(result){ console.log(result) // returns the expected object, // but, as expected, I can't access the object outside the async call }); console.log(result); // result is undefined }); ``` Given the async-ness, it seems a…

Accepted Answer

Something like this?

```
var promises = [];

angular.forEach(array, function(index) {
  promises.push(Resource.query(...));
});

$q.all(promises).then(function(result1, result2, result3 ...) {
  // do stuff with result1, result2 ... or
  // var results = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments);
});
```
