I am using the Angular $resource to make requests to my controllers, implemented on a Spring application. When the controller returns just an Integer value, $resource parse

Answer 1

I've actually found this to be an issue with integers, strings, and bools.

If you are using WebAPI, do something like this:

public object ControllerMethod()
{
    
    return new { value =  };
}

If Node, use CodeLander's answer.

In your Angular code, you'll just have to get the .value of what's returned.
