Custom URL using Angular ngResource

Question

I would like to know the best practice for connecting with my API as it works as following:

GET -> products/list/latest -> return list of latest products
GET -> products/list/popular -> return list of popular products
GET -> products/list/trending -> return list of trending products

and then when I want a detail of the each product, it is just:

GET -> products/:id

I got the following code in my services.js:

.factory('ProductService', function ($resource) {
    return $resource('http://domainname.com/api/products/:product',{product: "@product"});
})

But I really don't know how to access these custom URLs. Can I use the ngResource for that?

Thanks!

Please see here https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource

you can add custom action to ngResources

ie:

var app = angular.module('app', ['ngResource']);


app.factory('ProductService', function($resource) {

  var actions = {

    'latest': {
      method: 'GET',
      url: 'api/products/latest '

    },

    'popular': {
      method: 'GET',
      url: 'api/products/popular'

    },

    'trending': {
      method: 'GET',
      url: 'api/products/trending '

    }


  };

  var ProductService = $resource('/api/products/:productId', {ProductId: '@id'}, actions);

  return ProductService;

});
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, ProductService) {
  $scope.name = 'World';

  ProductService.latest();
  ProductService.popular();
  ProductService.trending();
  ProductService.query();
  ProductService.get({id: 1});
});
