Using the same object instances across the app in Angular.js

Question

I'd like to know how would be a good way to store data in angular.js that will be accessed across the app from different controllers. I'm using restangular to access the data on the backend. I have my own services to access the data, something like this:

app.factory('models.user', function(Restangular) {
  var users;
  users = {};
  return {
    get: function(user_id) {
      return users[user_id] || (users[user_id] = Restangular.one('users', user_id).get());
    }
  };
});

For all models I define a service to access it. Using this, from any place of the app when I call User.get(1) I get the same model instance.

I'd like to find a better way to do so. What do you guys do in to keep the same instances in your Angular.js apps?

This is the pretty best way. Why do you confused by this code?

I have many models, having this all around the code looks a bit ugly. I feel it's something that can be generalized somehow but not sure how. – acroca Oct 21 '13 at 13:54
