AngularJS and complex JSON returned by django tastypie

If you wanted to avoid using an additional library, you should be able to do the following:

$resource('/api/v1/reminder/', {}, {    query: {        method: 'GET',        isArray: true,        transformResponse: $http.defaults.transformResponse.concat([            function (data, headersGetter) {                return data.objects;            }        ])    }});

This will append your transform to $HttpProvider's default transformer.

Note: Correct me if I'm wrong on this one but I believe this feature requires v1.1.2 or greater.

You may want to try something like restangular.

There is some configuration needed to make that work. An example is here.

I ended up doing the following in order to preserve the meta object directly on the results returned by Reminder.query() (expanding on the answer from @moderndegree).

var Reminder = $resource('/api/v1/reminder/', {}, {  query: {    method: 'GET',    isArray: true,    transformResponse: $http.defaults.transformResponse.concat([      function (data, headersGetter) {          return data.objects;      }    ]),    interceptor: {      response: function(response) {        response.resource.meta = response.data.meta;      }    }  }});

That allows you to get the meta value directly on the returned object:

var reminders = Reminder.query(...);console.log(reminders.meta); // Returns `meta` as expected.

I think it would also be possible to do something similar inside the callback from Reminder.query since the response object is available there as well.
