# Angular ResourceFactory

Angular ResourceFactory is an AngularJS library that extends the capabilities of ngResource in various ways. The main
features include a resource store for holding changes on resource instances and related resource instances to commit
them at once, and an advanced resource caching.

**Note:** This library is for AngularJS 1.x only!

## Dependencies

Angular ResourceFactory depends on AngularJS 1.x.

## Installation

* Via `npm`: `npm install --save angular-resource-factory`
* Via `git`: `git clone [email protected]:beachmachine/angular-resource-factory.git`

## Examples

### RESTful service definition

In the following example we assume a RESTful endpoint that gives us the total of results via the `count` attribute
and the actual data in the `results` attribute in the list call. Each object has an ID on the `pk` attribute, holds
its own URL on the `url` attribute and also has some dates as `creation_date` and `last_modification_date` that we
want to handle as Moment.js objects.

To make things a bit clearer, this is the list call result of the RESTful API endpoint:
````json
{
"count": 2,
"results": [
{
"pk": 1,
"url": "http://example.api/member/1/",
"creation_date": "2017-01-11T06:00:00Z",
"last_modification_date": "2017-01-12T08:00:00Z",
"name": "Example Member 1"
},
{
"pk": 2,
"url": "http://example.api/member/2/",
"creation_date": "2017-01-11T06:00:00Z",
"last_modification_date": "2017-01-12T08:00:00Z",
"name": "Example Member 2"
}
]
}
````

Whereas this is the result of a detail call:
````json
{
"pk": 2,
"url": "http://example.api/member/2/",
"creation_date": "2017-01-11T06:00:00Z",
"last_modification_date": "2017-01-12T08:00:00Z",
"name": "Example Member 2"
}
````

Our service definition may look like this:
````javascript
var module = angular.module('services');

module.factory('MemberResourceService',
function (ResourceFactoryService) {
return ResourceFactoryService('MemberResourceService', 'http://example.api/member/:pk/', {
dataAttr: 'results',
queryTotalAttr: 'count',
pkAttr: 'pk',
urlAttr: 'url',

/**
* Converts the dates to moment objects.
* @param obj
* @return {*}
*/
toInternal: function (obj) {
// no transformation needed if given object is false
if (!obj) {
return obj;
}

obj.creation_date = obj.creation_date ? moment(obj.creation_date) : null;
obj.last_modification_date = obj.last_modification_date ? moment(obj.last_modification_date) : null;

return obj;
},

/**
* Converts the moment dates to strings.
* @param obj
* @return {*}
*/
fromInternal: function (obj) {
// no transformation needed if given object is false
if (!obj) {
return obj;
}

obj.creation_date = obj.creation_date ? moment(obj.creation_date).toJSON() : null;
obj.last_modification_date = obj.last_modification_date ? moment(obj.last_modification_date).toJSON() : null;

return obj;
}
});
}
);
````
