/** * @workInProgress * @ngdoc service * @name angular.service.$resource * @requires $xhr.cache * * @description * A factory which creates a resource object that lets you interact with * [RESTful](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_State_Transfer) server-side data sources. * * The returned resource object has action methods which provide high-level behaviors without * the need to interact with the low level {@link angular.service.$xhr $xhr} service or * raw XMLHttpRequest. * * @param {string} url A parameterized URL template with parameters prefixed by `:` as in * `/user/:username`. * * @param {Object=} paramDefaults Default values for `url` parameters. These can be overridden in * `actions` methods. * * Each key value in the parameter object is first bound to url template if present and then any * excess keys are appended to the url search query after the `?`. * * Given a template `/path/:verb` and parameter `{verb:'greet', salutation:'Hello'}` results in * URL `/path/greet?salutation=Hello`. * * If the parameter value is prefixed with `@` then the value of that parameter is extracted from * the data object (useful for non-GET operations). * * @param {Object.=} actions Hash with declaration of custom action that should extend the * default set of resource actions. The declaration should be created in the following format: * * {action1: {method:?, params:?, isArray:?, verifyCache:?}, * action2: {method:?, params:?, isArray:?, verifyCache:?}, * ...} * * Where: * * - `action` – {string} – The name of action. This name becomes the name of the method on your * resource object. * - `method` – {string} – HTTP request method. Valid methods are: `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`, * and `JSON` (also known as JSONP). * - `params` – {object=} – Optional set of pre-bound parameters for this action. * - isArray – {boolean=} – If true then the returned object for this action is an array, see * `returns` section. * - verifyCache – {boolean=} – If true then whenever cache hit occurs, the object is returned and * an async request will be made to the server and the resources as well as the cache will be * updated when the response is received. * * @returns {Object} A resource "class" object with methods for the default set of resource actions * optionally extended with custom `actions`. The default set contains these actions: * * { 'get': {method:'GET'}, * 'save': {method:'POST'}, * 'query': {method:'GET', isArray:true}, * 'remove': {method:'DELETE'}, * 'delete': {method:'DELETE'} }; * * Calling these methods invoke an {@link angular.service.$xhr} with the specified http method, * destination and parameters. When the data is returned from the server then the object is an * instance of the resource class `save`, `remove` and `delete` actions are available on it as * methods with the `$` prefix. This allows you to easily perform CRUD operations (create, read, * update, delete) on server-side data like this: *
        var User = $resource('/user/:userId', {userId:'@id'});
        var user = User.get({userId:123}, function(){
          user.abc = true;
          user.$save();
        });
     
* * It is important to realize that invoking a $resource object method immediately returns an * empty reference (object or array depending on `isArray`). Once the data is returned from the * server the existing reference is populated with the actual data. This is a useful trick since * usually the resource is assigned to a model which is then rendered by the view. Having an empty * object results in no rendering, once the data arrives from the server then the object is * populated with the data and the view automatically re-renders itself showing the new data. This * means that in most case one never has to write a callback function for the action methods. * * The action methods on the class object or instance object can be invoked with the following * parameters: * * - HTTP GET "class" actions: `Resource.action([parameters], [callback])` * - non-GET "class" actions: `Resource.action(postData, [parameters], [callback])` * - non-GET instance actions: `instance.$action([parameters], [callback])` * * * @example * * # Credit card resource * *
     // Define CreditCard class
     var CreditCard = $resource('/user/:userId/card/:cardId',
      {userId:123, cardId:'@id'}, {
       charge: {method:'POST', params:{charge:true}}
      });

     // We can retrieve a collection from the server
     var cards = CreditCard.query();
     // GET: /user/123/card
     // server returns: [ {id:456, number:'1234', name:'Smith'} ];

     var card = cards[0];
     // each item is an instance of CreditCard
     expect(card instanceof CreditCard).toEqual(true);
     card.name = "J. Smith";
     // non GET methods are mapped onto the instances
     card.$save();
     // POST: /user/123/card/456 {id:456, number:'1234', name:'J. Smith'}
     // server returns: {id:456, number:'1234', name: 'J. Smith'};

     // our custom method is mapped as well.
     card.$charge({amount:9.99});
     // POST: /user/123/card/456?amount=9.99&charge=true {id:456, number:'1234', name:'J. Smith'}
     // server returns: {id:456, number:'1234', name: 'J. Smith'};

     // we can create an instance as well
     var newCard = new CreditCard({number:'0123'});
     newCard.name = "Mike Smith";
     newCard.$save();
     // POST: /user/123/card {number:'0123', name:'Mike Smith'}
     // server returns: {id:789, number:'01234', name: 'Mike Smith'};
     expect(newCard.id).toEqual(789);
 * 
* * The object returned from this function execution is a resource "class" which has "static" method * for each action in the definition. * * Calling these methods invoke `$xhr` on the `url` template with the given `method` and `params`. * When the data is returned from the server then the object is an instance of the resource type and * all of the non-GET methods are available with `$` prefix. This allows you to easily support CRUD * operations (create, read, update, delete) on server-side data.
     var User = $resource('/user/:userId', {userId:'@id'});
     var user = User.get({userId:123}, function(){
       user.abc = true;
       user.$save();
     });
   
* * It's worth noting that the callback for `get`, `query` and other method gets passed in the * response that came from the server, so one could rewrite the above example as: *
     var User = $resource('/user/:userId', {userId:'@id'});
     User.get({userId:123}, function(u){
       u.abc = true;
       u.$save();
     });
