Extracting data from angularJS $resource

angularjs, ngresource, rest

Solution

You are not handling the promise that $resource hands back. It needs to be handled like your $http call above.

var Topic = $resource('http://api.discussorama.com/v1/topics/id', { id: '@id'}, {
  query: {
    isArray: false,
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {'X-Api-Secret': 'xxx', 'Authorization': 'xxx', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}
  }
});

var response = Topic.query();
response.$promise.then(function(data){
    $scope.topics = data.topics; //Changed data.data.topics to data.topics
});

Problem

I'm having an issue using Angular's $resource service. Since my API sends back a complete response (headers etc), along with an error field in the data Object, I need to get a specific object from the response. This is fairly simple to do with the $http service but I don't understand where to grab these parameters with the $resource service. Below is the working $http request. ``` $http({ method : 'GET', url : 'http://api.discussorama.com/v1/topics', headers : {'X-Api-Secret': 'xxx', 'Authorization': 'xxx', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} }) .then(function(response) { console.log(response); $scope.topics = response.data.topics; }); ``` And this is my unsuccessful attemt at the same request with $resource: ``` var Topic = $resource('http://api.discussorama.com/v1/topics/:id', {id: '@id'}, { query: { isArray: false, method: 'GET', headers: {'X-Api-Secret': 'xxx', 'Authorization': 'xxx', 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} } }); var response = Topic.query(); $scope.topics = response.topics; console.log(response); ``` EDIT: After updating the above code this is what I get in the console. ``` f {$promise: Object, $resolved: false, $get: function, $save: function, $query: function…} $promise: Object $resolved: true error: false topics: Array[10] __proto__: f ``` However if I change the console log to: ``` console.log(response.topics); ``` The console simply returns: ``` undefined ``` Where am I going wrong with this?
