I have this kind of resource: var Products = $resource('companies/:companyId/products')
The problem is, that I would like to get the products of all companies by url companies/products, but using resource and not providing companyId I am getting companies//products. Probably I could use another url, like just /products, but does it mean that I have to have another resource for the same thing?
In this simple case I could change the url to companies/products/:companyId, but it seems to be quite general case.
Yes, currently you need to define another $resource.
But you can wrap multiple instances of $resource into a single service if you want...
app.factory('mergedRes', function($resource) {
var r1 = $resource('/companies/:companyId/products');
r2 = $resource('/companies/products');
r1.getAll = r2.query.bind(r2);
return r1;
});
