method to intercept request to rewrite request url

This is a question about addRequestInterceptor.

Despite having access to the initial request URL (that is created by the URL builder), it doesn’t seem to allow me to change the URL that ends up being used, I could be wrong.

My use case is this :

• My data is stored as static JSON files on github pages.
• I use angular
• I’m building a resource that pulls collections or a single item based on a reference like api/recipe/453

I’d like to transform the request url on the .one(453) from api/recipe/453/data.json to merely api/recipe/data.json then pull out the item with id matching 453 using some lodash.

I feel that addRequestInterceptor meets all but one of those needs (that of rewriting the eventual url used).

Can you clarify if addRequestInterceptor makes it possible to do the following:

• change the URL used to make the request
• manipulate the data retrieved with something like lodash
• use cached data instead of making http requests.

@daviesgeek Respectfully, the OP’s question was not about appending .json to the end of the URL. The OP provided an illustration of what was intended; changing the path part of the URL from api/recipe/453/data.json to api/recipe/data.json. The OP asked if Restangular permitted one to “change the URL used to make the request” via addRequestInterceptor, not merely the parameters. @daurnimator subsequently asked for the same capability to alter the URL in addRequestInterceptor, not merely the parameters, as in your Plunk example. I believe the issue as written by the OP and others has not been addressed and that the issue should be open.

Any progress on this?

This is causing me issues when trying to back ng-admin with postgrest. The style of workaround shown at https://github.com/marmelab/ng-admin-postgrest/blob/master/main.js#L39 doesn’t work in the general case.
