query string in $resource url

Question

my service has to use a query string due to limitations on the server that runs classic ASP:

angular
  .module(\'myServices\', [\'ng\', \'ngResource\'])
  .f         


        

Answer 1

You can use resource parameters. If you haven't specified placeholders in the path, they would automatically be converted into query string params. Like that:

angular
    .module('myServices', ['ng', 'ngResource'])
    .factory('Item', [
         '$resource',
         function ($resource) {
             return $resource('/api');
     }]);

Item.query({p: 'item/1'});

This would result in a request to /api?p=item/1.

P.S.

I suppose you already know that, but you don't like it. But I still think this is the correct way in your case. Considering the bad API design you are dealing with that back-end you could wrap the AngularJS resources with another service which does this for you.

var deferred = $q.defer();
api.api_name.query({
    'param':param_value
},
    function(response) {
        deferred.resolve(response);
    },
    function(response) {
        deferred.reject(response);
    }
);
//
angular
    .module('module_name')
    .factory('api',function($resource){
        var api_var={};
        api_var.api_name = $resource('url?param_key=:param', {
            param: '@param'
        }, {
            'query': {
                method: 'get'
            }
        });
        return api_var;
    });
