Using a MEAN stack (fairly new to all of these) please pardon me if I'm way off ...
In mongo I have a collection of People People have children so People have a single 'ParentId' property { _id: ObjectId, ShortId: 1 FirstName: 'Joe', LastName: 'Bob' ParentId: null }, { _id: ObjectId, ShortId: 2 FirstName: 'Jim', LastName: 'Bob' ParentId: 1 } , { _id: ObjectId, ShortId: 3 FirstName: 'Billy', LastName: 'Bob' ParentId: 1 } So I'm using Angular resource (angular-resource) for calling "People" either a list of or single people angular.module('app').factory('PeopleService',function($resource){ var PeopleResource = $resource('/api/people/:_id', {_id:"@id"}, { update: {method:'PUT', isArray: false} }); return PeopleResource; }); So now I want to select all 'children' of a parent....this is not another resource correct? so it is a service? angular.module('app').service('PeopleService', function($http, $q){ this.getChildren = function(parentId){ var deferred = $q.defer(); deferred.resolve($http.get("/api/people/" + parentId + "/children")); } }) should I just bail on the 'angular-resource' and just make it all a service? It seems like using the resource i will end up with a 'resource' (meaning a new file) for every call to my api when I can just build a 'people' service and add all of my api calls there... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
