Default $resource POST data

Question

That might be strange but I need to specify some default POST data for my $resource using the factory method of the module.

Does anyone have an idea of how to do that in

Answer 1

You can set default fields on your request by using transformRequest option for your $resource's actions that use the POST method.

For example something like this

function prependTransform(defaults, transform) {

 // We can't guarantee that the default transformation is an array
 defaults = angular.isArray(defaults) ? defaults : [defaults];

 // Append the new transformation to the defaults
 return [transform].concat(defaults);
}

ctrl.factory('MyResource', ['$resource', '$http',
function($resource, $http) {
    return $resource('/path/to/myresource/:id', {id : '@id'},
           { 
               create : {
                   method : 'POST',
                   transformRequest : prependTransform($http.defaults.transformRequest,
                      function(data, headers) {
                           return addDefaultField(data);
                      }
                  ),
               },
           });
    }
]);
