External resources are URLs that provide JSON data, which are then rendered with the help of
templates. angular has a resource factory that can be used to give names to the URLs and then
attach behavior to them. For example you can use the
Google Buzz API
to retrieve Buzz activity and comments.
<script>
BuzzController.$inject = ['$resource'];
function BuzzController($resource){
this.Activity = $resource(
'https://www.googleapis.com/buzz/v1/activities/:userId/:visibility/:activityId/:comments',
{alt:'json', callback:'JSON_CALLBACK'},
{ get: {method:'JSON', params:{visibility:'@self'}},
replies: {method:'JSON', params:{visibility:'@self', comments:'@comments'}}
});
}
BuzzController.prototype = {
fetch: function(){
this.activities = this.Activity.get({userId:this.userId});
},
expandReplies: function(activity) {
activity.replies =
this.Activity.replies({userId:this.userId, activityId:activity.id});
}
};
</script>
<div ng:controller="BuzzController">
<input name="userId" value="googlebuzz"/>
<button ng:click="fetch()">fetch</button>

<div class="buzz" ng:repeat="item in activities.data.items">
<h1 style="font-size: 15px;">
