Using Restangular with Django Tastypie

TastyPie’s JSON responses split the response into two sections: meta data and actual data. The meta is really nice, because it helps you data pagination, result counts, and the like, but it kind of gets in the way of Restangular. Integrating with Restangular is easy though!

Add the following to your app.js file.

yourApp.config(function(RestangularProvider) {
    RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl("/api");
    RestangularProvider.setResponseExtractor(function(response, operation, what, url) {
        var newResponse;
        if (operation === "getList") {
            newResponse = response.objects;
            newResponse.metadata = response.meta;
        } else {
            newResponse = response;
        }
        return newResponse;
    });
    RestangularProvider.setRequestSuffix('/?');
});

Done.
