AngularJS: Creating Objects that map to REST Resources (ORM-Style)

Question

I\'m pretty new to AngularJS, but I\'m pretty unclear on how to tie it up to my Server\'s REST Api backend.

For example, say I have an \"image\" resource that I get by G

ModelCore ( https://github.com/klederson/ModelCore ) works pretty much like this, and is very very easy to implement:

var ExampleApp = angular.module('ExampleApp', ['ModelCore']); //injecting ModelCore

ExampleApp.factory("Users",function(ModelCore) {
  return ModelCore.instance({
    $type : "Users", //Define the Object type
    $pkField : "idUser", //Define the Object primary key
    $settings : {
      urls : {
        base : "http://myapi.com/users/:idUser",
      }
    },
    $myCustomMethod : function(info) { //yes you can create and apply your own custom methods
        console.log(info);
    }
  });
});

//Controller
function MainCrtl($scope, Users) {
  //Setup a model to example a $find() call
  $scope.AllUsers = new Users();

  //Get All Users from the API
  $scope.AllUsers.$find();

  //Setup a model to example a $get(id) call
  $scope.OneUser = new Users();

  //Hey look there are promisses =)
  //Get the user with idUser 1 - look at $pkField
  $scope.OneUser.$get(1).success(function() {
    console.log("Done!",$scope.OneUser.$fetch());
});
