add a custom function on angular $resource [duplicate]

You can add it as a property using transformResponse, but might I suggest just adding a method to every object that returns the combined first and last name:

app.factory('User', function ($resource) {    var User = $resource(        '/api/user/:listCtrl:id/:docCtrl/', {            id: '@id',            listCtrl: '@listCtrl',            docCtrl: '@docCtrl'        }, {            update: {                method: 'PUT'            },            current: {                method: 'GET',                params: {                    listCtrl: 'current'                }            },            nearby: {                method: 'GET',                params: {                    docCtrl: 'nearby'                },                isArray: true            }        }    );    // add any methods here using prototype    User.prototype.get_full_name = function() {        return this.first_name + ' ' + this.last_name;    };    return User;});

Then use:

<p>{{ user.get_full_name() }}</p>

Any functions added using prototype will be added onto every object returned by your Service. It is a great way to add helper methods if you need to do complicated getting or setting of service properties.

after playing for a while with angular, I think a customer filter would be a much wiser approach, rather than adding a property on $resource.

here is how to do a filter

app.filter('getFullName', function () {    return function (input) {      if (input) {        return input.first_name + ' ' + input.last_name;      } else {        return 'default';      }    };  });

I think you should look at transformResponse way.

Btw, what version of angularjs do you use?
