I have an angular.js application and i need to do CORS request.

I want to define my rest services "the angular" using angular resources, described here: http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_11.

But i haven't found a way to get this working. On google i found the following sample code: http://jsfiddle.net/ricardohbin/E3YEt/, but this seems not to work with angular-resources.

this is my app.js

'use strict';

angular.module('corsClientAngularApp', ['helloServices'])
  .config(function ($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider
      .when('/', {
        templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
        controller: 'MainCtrl'
      })
      .otherwise({
        redirectTo: '/'
      });
  });

this is my services.js with the rest services

angular.module('helloServices', ['ngResource']).
    factory('Hello', function($resource){
  return $resource('http://localhost:8080/cors-server/hello/:name', {}, {
    query: {method:'GET', params:{name:'name'}, isArray:false}
  });
});

This is my main.js with the controller using the $http, this works!:

'use strict';

angular.module('corsClientAngularApp')
  .controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $http, Hello) {
    $http.defaults.useXDomain = true;


    $http.get('http://localhost:8080/cors-server/hello/stijn')
        .success(function(data) {
            $scope.hello = data;
        });
  });

This is another version of my main.js using angular resources. This does NOT work :(

'use strict';

angular.module('corsClientAngularApp')
  .controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $http, Hello) {
    $http.defaults.useXDomain = true;
    $scope.hello = Hello.query({name:'stijn'});
  });

This is are the headers from the working request (from chrome devtools):

Request URL:http://localhost:8080/cors-server/hello/stijn
Request Method:OPTIONS
Status Code:200 OK

Request Headers

And these are the headers from the NOt working request:

Request URL:http://localhost/cors-server/hello/stijn
Request Method:OPTIONS
Status Code:200 OK

Request Headers

It looks like the request url is wrong when using angular-resources. But why?

Thanks!

  • does NOT work is not a definition of a problem. Inspect request in browser console and provide more details Commented Apr 25, 2013 at 10:06
  • I have added the request headers Commented Apr 25, 2013 at 10:46

URL for $resource accepts using colon for parameters. Therefore when using port in url you need to escape the colon for port. This is explained in $resource docs

It worked, but now i get "{"0":"h","1":"e","2":"l","3":"l","4":"o","5":" ","6":"s","7":"t","8":"i","9":"j","10":"n"}" instead of "hello stijn". How can i fix that?
@cremersstijn $resource expects an object with properties to be returned. It's coercing your string into that object by assigning each character position as a property with the character as the value.
where exactly in the resource docs, escaping the port is described?
