A light-weight model layer that bridges the gap between AngularJS and your RESTful APIs.

Why would you use this over other available solutions?

• Lightweight/Simple, the code simply does some basic copy/extending and prototypical instances; no magic required.
• Patterns/Practices, the model definition closely resembles Angular's ngResource meaning its easy to swap out, replace later (if ngResource gets awesome suddenly), eases scaling new devs / organizations, and its designed for Angular; not a backbone port!
• Utilizes Angular at the core, it doesn't duplicate things Angular already does. Any action can be passed a $http configuration option, all your interceptors still work, it uses Angular's cache, etc!
• Compliant, URI Template matches the specs.
• 1.45KB gzipped/minified ( excludes depedencies )
• Minimal Dependencies, only use URI template and deep-diff ( this isn't even required ) utility. NO underscore, lodash, jquery, etc!
• Its full of awesome features

See wiki for documentation.

• URI Templates (RFC6570)
• Model instances
• Collections
• Single Datastore
• Caching / Cache invalidation
• Default value population
• Pending / Completed Status
• Relationships
• Object Deep Diff / Reversion
• Track active promises to prevent duplicate sends

• Angular >= 1.3
• deep-diff
• uri-templates

• Install Node.js and NPM (should come with)
• Install global dev dependencies: npm install -g bower grunt-cli
• Install local dev dependencies: npm install && bower install in repository directory

• grunt build to concat and build
• grunt karma for continuous testing mode with karma (useful during development as tests will be run on each change)
• grunt karma:ci for a one-time execution of the tests (used by Travis)

• Run the tests
• Create a feature branch
• When issuing a pull request, please exclude changes from the "dist" folder to avoid merge conflicts.
