How to use with Resource.query about angular-busy

[cgross]

In the Angular docs for $resource, look for $promise

https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngResource/service/$resource

Still a bit confused by this. If I have a service like below:

.factory('hiMom', function($resource) {
    return $resource('/api/v1/stuff.json?showing=:showing',
    {showing: '@showing'},
    {'query':  {method:'GET', isArray:false}});
})

and Im running a query in my controller with something simple like:

.controller('StuffS', function ($scope, hiMom) {
    hiMom.query({ showing: 'all'}, function(data){
        $scope.result = data;
    });
})

Couldn't i then just access the promise with

$scope.myPromise = hiMom.query();

Resources don't return the promise from a query method. In the docs it talks about a $promise.

$scope.myPromise = hiMom.query().$promise;

The instance methods on the resources do return promises directly.

@cgross Thanks so much for the fast response. I should have really read a bit deeper before I typed all that out. I now have my call looking like this:

.controller('StuffS', function ($scope, hiMom) {
    hiMom.query({ showing: 'all'}, function(data){
        $scope.result = data;
        $scope.myPromise = data.$promise;
    });
})

However even though it seems to be accessing the promise the directive stays hidden when the page loads. Not sure what I'm missing here.

[cgross]

The promise is attached to the return code from query(), not to the data in the callback.

I started with the below code with no luck and figured it was supposed to be in the data callback.

$scope.myPromise = hiMom.query().$promise;

Seems like the directive picks it up but no annimation triggers

Figured it out @cgross. Thanks so much for the help! Silly mistakes on my part.
