My approach is using AngularJS Service instead of factory along the project. Now I want to build an object called MyData which should be used as array in angularJS controller, such as: 

 vm.datas= MyData.query({}, function (datas) {
         vm.thisData = {selected: datas[0].id};
    });

As I searched in questions, I understood I can use factory as below: 

angular.module('myDataService', ['ngResource']).
factory('MyData', function($resource){
return $resource(myURL, {}, {
    query: {method:'GET', isArray:true}
});
});

What should I do if I want to use service. Is the code correct, below? What is the best practice?

angular
        .module('app')
        .service('myDataService', myDataService);
myDataService.$inject = ['ngResource'];

function myDataService($resource) {
    var self = this;
    self.MyData = $resource(myURL, {}, {
        query: { method: 'GET', isArray: true }
    });

}

  • Do you really need a different `app.module('myDataService')` for the factory? you could create one in the same module- `app.module('app')` – Sajal May 21 '16 at 09:45
  • Sorry,I didn't understand, would you please explain it more? I want to use just service and not factory. but I don't know if I can use $resource in service as above code, exactly as its usage in factory or not. – Elnaz May 21 '16 at 09:49
