@kayakDave, thanks for guiding to right place.

angular $q

when(value, [successCallback], [errorCallback], [progressCallback]);
            Wraps an object that might be a value or a (3rd party) then-able promise into a $q promise. 
            This is useful when you are dealing with an object that might  or might not be a promise, 
            or if the promise comes from a source that can't be trusted.

$q.when(value).then(function (data) {
//this helps me to bind data from $resource or $http or object
}
