Right, I'm using $resource and query to access a RESTful interface which gives a response in the following format:

record (array[RecordResponse], optional)

eg:

{
  "record": [
    {
      "countryID": 732,
      "countryName": "Western Sahara",
      "countryISO": "EH",
      "countryISO3": "ESH"
    },
    {
      "countryID": 4,
      "countryName": "Afghanistan",
      "countryISO": "AF",
      "countryISO3": "AFG"
    },
    {
      "countryID": 8,
      "countryName": "Albania",
      "countryISO": "AL",
      "countryISO3": "ALB"
    }
  ]
}

my current $resource query looks like this:

return $resource('http://mydatasource/countries?fields=countryID%2CcountryName%2CcountryISO%2CcountryISO3', {}, {
  query: {method:'GET', isArray:false}
})

In my controller I get access the resource using:

  $scope.places = Countries.query();

Which I can then put in a nice list in my view and do stuff, for example:

<tr ng-repeat="country in places.record">
  <td>{{country.countryName}}</td>
</tr>

Great no problems there!

However, I'm running in to problems when I'm trying to perform filters etc with the returned data in the controller. I need to get the JSON objects out of the records array but I'm not sure how to do that outside of the view!

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks

As per usual no sooner do I submit a question I think I come up with a solution.....

I updated the $resource to:

return $resource('http://mydatasource/countries?fields=countryID%2CcountryName%2CcountryISO%2CcountryISO3', {}, {
      query: {
        method:'GET',
        isArray:true,
        transformResponse: function(data, header) {
            var wrappedobj = angular.fromJson(data);
            return wrappedobj.record;
            }
        }

    })

Hopefully this might help someone else out there too!
