i have an angular application that calls web api . it was working all fine with web api controller and ngresource until i required to get count of results.

to get just the count of a result i need to use $inlinecount which only seems to be working with oDataController . with oDataControlelr in place my promises dont work. 

$scope.totalCount = storeCommandResource.query({ $inlinecount: "allpages", $top: 0 });

i get 

Error: [$resource:badcfg] query

please guide.

  • I think you haven't pasted the full error message. But what is probably happening is that you are using the resource's `query()` method which expects to receive an array as a response. I'm assuming the response you're getting is just a number (or an object that contains the count), and not an array. If that's true, don't use the `query()` function, use the `get()` function instead: `storeCommandResource.get()` ... – Sunil D. May 28 '15 at 20:50

its look like i can use oDatacontroller with a model builder setup like this

            ODataConventionModelBuilder builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
        builder.EntitySet<StoreCommand>("StoreCommandsRest");
        config.Routes.MapODataServiceRoute(routeName: "OData", routePrefix: "api", model: builder.GetEdmModel());
        config.AddODataQueryFilter();

and all i needed to change was query to get 

$scope.totalCount = storeCommandResource.get({ $inlinecount: "allpages", $top: 0 });

then i am reading my returned count like 

response["odata.count"]
