Angular ngResource array path variable

Question

I have trouble with angular's resource factory. I have path variable id and REST API accepts on same url also query parameter called "id". Let's describe this issue with some example:

Resource url: "/person/:id"

REST API also accepts query param id as filter: "/person?id=5,7,11" or "/person?id=5&id=7&id=11"

$resource("/person/:id", {id: [5, 7, 11]})

This produces invalid url "/person/5,7,11". Did I miss something? I expected that array type cannot be assigned as path variable. Instead it should be converted automatically to query params(?id=5&id=7&id=11). Does anyone have idea how to override this behaviour? Btw. I cannot change name id. Thank you for suggestions..

Answer 1

Try

$resource('/person/', {'id':[5, 7, 11]}

or, alternatively:

$resource("/person/?id=:myparams", {myparams: [5, 7, 11]})
