AngularJS RESTful params

Question

Is it possible to use the AngularJS $http service to parameterize a restful url? For example:

var URL = '/api/countries/:countryId/states'

var getStates = function (countryId) {
    $http.get(URL, { countryId: countryId }).then();
};

Every combination I try ends up using a query string, which is not what I want.

read this stackoverflow.com/questions/5216567/…. I suppose angularjs always use query string instead of body when it used the get, method if you change to post, you will see the body — Koitoer

I don't think that will be possible in the way that you describe.

In the end you'll probably just want to go with something like the following:

var getStates = function (countryId) {
    var URL = '/api/countries/'+countryId+'/states'
    $http.get(URL, {}).then();
};

Though if someone has a better solution i'd love to hear it :)

I must admit, this is rather shocking and disappointing. How can they NOT have a RESTful URL builder in 2015?

Since @SharnWhite seems curious also, you might be interested in $resource

As Rathish and Tony noted, you can use $resource:

var URL = '/api/countries/:countryId/states'

var states = $resource(URL)

var getStates = function (countryId) {
  states.query({ countryId: countryId }).then(...)
};

$resource factory lets you build a parameterized URL https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource
