Using a full URL with Restangular

Question

I like all of the functions of Restangular for AngularJS, except that I can't find (and it may not support) a way of just passing a full URL to it. I realize the benefit of the .one('something','someparam') but my issue is that I'm passed various URL strings, and I really don't want to have to split() them just to use Restangular.

Also, I know about the baseURL function; but these URLs I'm being passed don't necessarily derive from the same base path.

For example, I might have:

/us/en/product/17726
/us/es/products
/us/es/product/991A0
/ca/en/accounts

All I'm given are the Strings...

I'm the creator of Restangular.

You have 2 options to do that.

1) Creating scoped Restangulars with different BaseURLs in each case: https://github.com/mgonto/restangular#how-to-create-a-restangular-service-with-a-different-configuration-from-the-global-one

2) You can use it like Restangular.all('us/en/').one('products', 1726) or Restangular.one('us/en/product', 1234)

Hope it works for you :)

That's what I needed. I tried adding the full URL like Restangular.all('/us/en') and it gacked out on me. Must have been that leading slash.

Do you think it would be useful to add a feature that would allow someone to make a one-off request given a string URL so they don't have to process it, or create multiple scoped instances? One of the benefits of this over $resource is that multiple instances are not required for a single request...

Hey, I don't think how much helpfull it'd be. Using it as it's now is pretty similar as you can see because you can use this with URLs as well :).

I needed to simply GET an absolute url and came across this question.

Here's how:

Restangular.oneUrl('routeName', 'http://absolute.url').get();

What does routeName do here?

slamborne Over a year ago

@AlirezaMirian I don't have the source that was using this on hand, but if I remember correctly routeName essentially acts as GUID for Restangular routes. The object that is returned from Restangular.oneUrl() doesn't need to know about routeName. Not sure how routeName conflicts are handled...

Watch out: in this form the returned Restangular element has an invalid route, so put() and post() won't work

@itghisi This could cause confusion. If an element is returned, the route is valid but it may not support PUT and POST verbs.
