How to pass model name to angularJS restful api - rest

Question

I am new to AngularJS, but have used Backbone for a while now.
I want to create a reusable restful api that I can pass the model name to so that I can use it for different models.
At the moment I have:
angular.module('healthplanApiServices', ['ngResource'])
.factory('Api', function($resource) {
return $resource(base_url + 'api/:object/:id', {
id : '#id', object : 'actions'
}, {
query : {
method : 'GET',
isArray : true,
callback : "JSON_CALLBACK"
},
save : {
method : '#id' ? 'PUT' : 'POST',
isArray : true,
callback : "JSON_CALLBACK"
}
});
});
... which sets the model as 'actions'. Then in my controller I use:
// get the collection
Api.query(function(r) {
$scope.actions = r;
});
$scope.toggleDone = function(a) {
a.done = !a.done;
//save an item
Api.save(a);
}
That's all fine, but how do I pass the model name ('actions' in this case) for each model type: e.g., instead of putting it in the factory function like so:
id : '#id', object : 'actions'
... but rather something more like:
var ActionApi = Api.setObject('actions');
ActionApi.query(function(r) {
$scope.actions = r;
});
UPDATE:
I just figured out a way. It may not be the best, but it does work. Any other suggestions would be welcome!
Just add the 'object' attribute to the model:
Api.query({object: 'actions'}, function(r) {
$scope.actions = r;
angular.forEach($scope.actions, function(a) {
a.object = 'actions' });
});
Api.save(a);// also works

You may want to try https://github.com/klederson/ModelCore ( ModelCore )
Its easy to model and structure and of course ... to use.
model.$find({ filter : "John" },{},true); //to find all with query parameters
model.$get(1); //to retreive the user with id 1
model.$save()
model.$deelte();
And so on.. checkout the documentation
