AngularJS using $resource service. Promise is not resolved by GET request

Question

Let\'s say a service like this:

   services.factory(\'User\', function($resource){
        return $resource(\'/rest/usersettings/:username\', {}, {
                 


        

Answer 1

User.get( {username: 'bob'} ) does not return your actual data immediately. It returns something will hold your data when the ajax returns. On that (the $promise), you can register an additional callback to log your data.

You can change your code to:

   scope.user = User.get( {username: 'bob'}  );    // GET
   scope.user.$promise.then(function(data) {
       console.log(data);
   });
