$resource on Angular

I recommend that you use $resource.

It may support (url override) in next version of Angularjs. Then you will be able to code like this:

// need to register as a serviceName
$resource('/user/:userId', {userId:'@id'}, {
    'customActionName':    {
        url:'/user/someURI'
        method:'GET',
        params: {
            param1: '....',
            param2: '....',
        }
    },
     ....
});
And return callbacks can be handled in ctrl scope like this.

// ctrl scope
serviceName.customActionName ({
    paramName:'param',
    ...
}, 
function (resp) {
    //handle return callback
}, 
function (error) {
    //handler error callback
});
Probably you can handle code on higher abstraction level.
