Your main issue is that you want to modify the incoming data from the $http call.
You can implement an http interceptor, the method response will take the response modify it and then return it to the caller. Since the http interceptor will take all the incoming requests just check the url start to not modify other requests.
angular.module('ionicApp', ['ionic'])
.factory('httpInterceptor', function($q, $rootScope) {
var httpInterceptor = {
response: function(response) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
var results = response.data;
var urlStart = 'http://mvcframe.com/wpapi/wp-json/wp/v2/pages?slug=';
if (response.config.url.startsWith(urlStart)) {
angular.forEach(results, function(result, key) {
result.date = '10/8/16';
});
}
deferred.resolve(response);
return deferred.promise;
}
};
return httpInterceptor;
})
.config(function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.interceptors.push('httpInterceptor');
})
.controller('ListController',
['$scope', '$http', '$state', '$stateParams', '$window', '$location',
function($scope, $http, $state, $stateParams, $window, $location) {
$scope.getOrders = function(query) {
$http.get('http://mvcframe.com/wpapi/wp-json/wp/v2/pages?slug=' + query)
.success(function(data) {
$scope.orders = data;
})
}
$scope.orders = [];
}]);
The only modification that I've made on your html is to send query param directly to the function on the ng-click

</ion-content>

I almost forgot the codepen is here: http://codepen.io/pachon1992/pen/QEodJR
EDIT ---------------------------
As per comments you want your user to update manually the data right? as an example you would like to update the date, you can do enabling a input for the user to edit the data, since angular is two-way data-binding will modify your data.
<html ng-app="ionicApp">

In your controller you can call http service for every order calling via typically to a PUT endpoint
angular.module('ionicApp', ['ionic'])
.controller('ListController', ['$scope', '$http', '$state', '$stateParams', '$window', '$location',
function($scope, $http, $state, $stateParams, $window, $location) {
$scope.query = "";
$scope.getOrders = function(query) {
$http.get('http://mvcframe.com/wpapi/wp-json/wp/v2/pages?slug=' + query)
.success(function(data) {
$scope.orders = data;
});
}
$scope.orders = [];
$scope.update = function() {
angular.forEach($scope.orders, function(order) {
//whetever url you are using
$http.put('http://mvcframe.com/wpapi/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/update/' + order.id, order, {})
.success(function(data) {
console.log('updated');
});
});
};
}
]);
I've edited the codepen
