I'm using the angularjs-rails-resource project to wrap my http rest services. One thing I didn't find in documentation is regarding cache, some of my methods should access the server only once and cache their response.

Is there an easy way to achieve this?

You can pass options to $http through your resource configuration (i.e. httpConfig) like so:

return railsResourceFactory({
  url: '/books',
  name: 'book',
  httpConfig: {
    cache: true
  }
});

  • You'll need to provide your own cache mechanism (see [here](https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/2079#issuecomment-14216841)). Here's one popular replacement for Angular's $cacheFactory that works with `$http`: https://github.com/jmdobry/angular-cache#using-angular-cache-with-http – Sebastien Rothlisberger Jun 29 '15 at 13:44
