Angularjs: a Service that serves multiple $resource urls / data sources?

Question

I have an Angular service/provider that serves json data to my controller which works great:

    angular.module(\'myApp.services\', [\'ngResource\']).

You can update service to return a hash of resources, not a single one:

angular.module('myApp.services', ['ngResource']).
  factory("geoProvider", function($resource) {
    return {
      states: $resource('../data/states.json', {}, {
        query: { method: 'GET', params: {}, isArray: false }
      }),
      countries: $resource('../data/countries.json', {}, {
        query: { method: 'GET', params: {}, isArray: false }
      })
    };
  });

You will be able to use it adding .query() at the end your function name i.e. geoProvider.states.query() and geoProvider.countries.query() and myApp.services has to be injected into your controller, then inject geoProvider service into controller itself as well.
