Aborting ngResource using a promise object

Question

I\'ve recently learned that ngResource request can be aborted either by specifying a timeout in ms or passing a deferred object.

The second solution does not seem to

Answer 1

Try using $timeout, instead of setTimeout, since that will take care of making sure your resolve is captured by angular $digest cycle.

myApp.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $q, $log, $timeout, myResource) {
    var aborter = $q.defer();
    $timeout(function() {
       $log.info('Aborting...');
       aborter.resolve();
    }, 10);
    myResource.getResource(aborter).query().$promise.then(function(data) {
        $scope.data = data;
    });
});
