Answer 1

I had this problem for a while I was using a service to add / delete / update categories. While passing in params for get it worked fine but then when deleting it was giving me a ?id=1234 instead of api/resource/1234

I got around this by making the default param a string.

///Controller

Service.delete({categoryId:id}, function(resp){
  console.log(resp)//whatever logic you want in here 
});

//SERVICES

$resource('api/resource/:categoryId', {"categoryId":"@categoryId"}, {
   query:{method:"GET"},
   delete:{method:"DELETE"},

});

Should work and the resulting url will be, originally I had categoryId in the default params as a variable name.

api/resource/1234 etc
