    <p>I have few resources written on AngularJS that access a Tastypie API. Everything works fine, except for a detail: tastypie always encapsulate the actual result inside a <code>objects</code> attribute on a JSON, example:</p> <p><code>/api/v1/reminder/</code>:</p> <pre><code>{ meta: { limit: 20, next: null, offset: 0, previous: null, total_count: 3 }, objects: [{ category: { color: "#999999", id: 1, name: "Groceries", resource_uri: "/api/v1/category/1" }, description: "", due_date: "2010-10-16", id: 1, repeat: "weekly", resource_uri: "/api/v1/reminder/1", value: "-50" }, { category: { color: "#999999", id: 1, name: "Groceries", resource_uri: "/api/v1/category/1" }, description: "", due_date: "2010-10-17", id: 2, repeat: "weekly", resource_uri: "/api/v1/reminder/2", value: "-50" } } </code></pre> <p>It was wasy to fix using a callback to the <code>get()</code> call:</p> <pre><code>Reminder.get().$then(function (result) { $scope.reminders = result.data.objects; }); </code></pre> <p>But I know <code>result.resource</code> is an actual <code>Reminder</code> instance.</p> <pre><code>.factory('Reminder', ['$resource', function($resource){ var Reminder = $resource('/api/v1/reminder/:id', {}, { get: { method: 'GET', isArray: false } }); Reminder.prototype.TESTE = function () {console.log('asd');}; return Reminder; }]) </code></pre> <p>Now I need to implement behavior on my <code>Reminder</code> class, and I need every element on my <code>meta.objects</code> to be an instance of <code>Reminder</code>:</p> <pre><code>Reminder.get().$then(function (result) { $scope.reminders = result.data.objects; result.resource.TESTE(); // -&gt; outputs 'asd' o = result.data.objects[0]; o.TESTE // -&gt; undefined, obvisously i = new Reminder(o); i.TESTE() // -&gt; outputs 'asd' }); </code></pre> <p>So, how to I get angularjs to understand that every object on <code>objects</code> is the actual result so it behaves like a list of instances?</p> <p>The workaround is to creating a new list iterating on the results creating the instances, but it's not optimal...</p> <p>Suggestions?</p> <h1>Solution by @rtcherry:</h1> <p>As suggested by rtcherry, I used <a href="https://github.com/mgonto/restangular" rel="noreferrer">restangular</a></p> <p>Configuring the reading of request data:</p> <pre><code>.config(['RestangularProvider', function(RestangularProvider) { RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl("/api/v1"); RestangularProvider.setResponseExtractor(function(response, operation, what, url) { var newResponse; if (operation === "getList") { newResponse = response.objects; newResponse.metadata = response.meta; } else { newResponse = response.data; } return newResponse; }); }]) </code></pre> <p>Loading the reminders:</p> <pre><code>function RemindersCtrl ($scope, $rootScope, Reminder) { $scope.reminders = Reminder.getList(); } </code></pre> <p>Adding my custom method to <code>Reminder</code> (not as clean as ngResource, but doable):</p> <pre><code>.factory('Reminder', ['Restangular', '$filter', function(Restangular, $filter){ var Reminder = Restangular.all('reminder'); var remainingDays = function () { //do stuff }; // adding custom behavior Restangular.addElementTransformer('reminder', false, function (reminder) { reminder.remainingDays = remainingDays; return reminder; }); return Reminder; }]) </code></pre> <h1>Solution by @moderndegree:</h1> <p>I used pure <code>ngResource</code>:</p> <pre><code>var tastypieDataTransformer = function ($http) { return $http.defaults.transformResponse.concat([ function (data, headersGetter) { var result = data.objects; result.meta = data.meta; return result; } ]) }; ... .factory('Reminder', ['$resource', '$http', function($resource, $http){ var Reminder = $resource('/api/v1/reminder/:id', {}, { query: { method: 'GET', isArray: true, transformResponse: tastypieDataTransformer($http) } }); Reminder.prototype.remainingDays = function () { // doing stuff }; return Reminder; }]) </code></pre> <p>My controller:</p> <pre><code>Transaction.query(filter).$then(function (result) { $scope.days = []; var transactions = result.resource; resource[0].remainingDays(); // it works }); </code></pre>

    1. COYou may want to try something like [restangular](https://github.com/mgonto/restangular).

    3. COdone. it's not as easy as adding a method to a angular resource, but can be done.. but restangular pays off on it's many useful features. do you want to make an answer out of your comment so I can mark it?

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
