<p>We find <a href="http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource.%24resource">$resource</a> to be a great way to go. The <a href="http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngMock.%24httpBackend">$httpBackend</a> service allows for easy testing as well. We have something like the following and it works well for us. You can always drop back to the <a href="http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.%24http">$http</a> service if you want a little more control.</p> <p><strong>View</strong></p> <pre><code><!DOCTYPE html > <html ng-app="myApp"> <head> </head> <body ng-controller="CustomerController"> <form name="form" novalidate> <input type="text" ng-model="customer.name" required /> <input type="text" ng-model="customer.address" required /> <button ng-click="add(customer)">Save</button> </form> <script src="~/Scripts/angular.js"></script> <script src="~/Scripts/angular-resource.js"></script> <script src="~/Scripts/app/app.js"></script> <script src="~/Scripts/app/services/customerResource.js"></script> <script src="~/Scripts/app/controllers/CustomerController.js"></script> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p><strong>Service:</strong></p> <pre><code>myApp.factory('customerResource', function($resource){ var resource = $resource('/data/customer/:id', { id: '@id' }, { 'put' : {method:'PUT' } }); return { getAll : function(){ return resource.query(); }, add : function(customer){ return resource.save(customer); }, update : function(customer){ return resource.put({ id: customer._id }, customer); }, remove : function(id){ return resource.remove( { id: id }); } }; }); </code></pre> <p><strong>Controller:</strong></p> <pre><code>myApp.controller('CustomerController', function($scope, customerResource) { $scope.customer = {}; $scope.customers = customerResource.getAll(); $scope.add = function(customer){ $scope.customers.push(customerResource.add(customer)); } $scope.update = function(customer){ customerResource.update(customer); } $scope.remove = function(customer){ customerResource.remove(customer._id); $scope.customers.splice($scope.customers.indexOf(customer), 1); } }); </code></pre> <p><strong>Very basic testing:</strong></p> <pre><code>describe('customerResource', function(){ beforeEach(module('myApp')); describe('getAll', function(){ it('should issue a GET request to /data/customer', inject(function(customerResource, $httpBackend){ $httpBackend.expectGET('/data/customer').respond([{ level: '5'}]); var customers = customerResource.getAll(); $httpBackend.flush(); expect(customers[0].level).toBe('5'); })); it('should return an array of custoemrs', inject(function(customerResource, $httpBackend){ $httpBackend.when('GET', '/data/customer').respond([{ level: '5'}, { level: '6'}]); var customers = customerResource.getAll(); $httpBackend.flush(); expect(customers[0].level).toBe('5'); expect(customers[1].level).toBe('6'); })); }); </code></pre> <p><strong>MVC Action</strong> (ADD - MVC model binders will do the work of parsing the html params into the VM):</p> <pre><code>[HttpPost] public ActionResult Customer(Customer customer) { // add the customer to the database or whatever } </code></pre> <p><strong>ViewModel:</strong></p> <pre><code>public class Customer { public string Name { get; set; } public string Address { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>The HTTP request will look something like:</p> <pre><code>Request URL:http://mywebsite/data/customer Request Method:POST Status Code:200 OK Request Headersview source Accept:application/json, text/plain, */* Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch Accept-Language:en-GB,en;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6 Cache-Control:no-cache Connection:keep-alive Content-Length:30 Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8 Host:mywebsite Origin:http://mywebsite Pragma:no-cache Request Payloadview source {name:somename, address:someaddress} address: "somename" name: "someaddress" </code></pre> <p>HTH</p>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
