Why does angular $resource add extra objects ($promise, $resolve…) to my data response?

Question

I return a resource with a URL

    $resource(\"http://foo.com/bar.json\").get().
         $promise.then(function(data){ $scope.result = data},

If you look at the angular source here:

https://github.com/angular/angular.js/blob/master/src/ngResource/resource.js#L505

There is a toJSON method on the Resource prototype chain that will accomplish this for you.

For example:

$resource("http://foo.com/bar.json").get(function(res) {
    $scope.result = res.toJSON();
});
