AngularJS - $resource different URL for Get and Post

Question

$resource is awesome providing very convenient way to handle web services. What if GET and POST have to be performed on different URLs?

For example, GET URL is

Answer 1

If you add the hash with param names into the $resource call:

$resource('localhost/pleaseGethere/:id', {id: '@id'});

Then the :id will be mapped to id param when invoking the function (this will call GET localhost/pleaseGethere/123):

Resource.get({id: 123});

For POST, you simply don't assign the id param:

Resource.post({}, {name: "Joe"});

The proper URL will be called, which is in this case POST localhost/pleaseGethere (the trailing slash is stripped by ngResource).
