What is the difference between .all() and .one() in Restangular?

Question

What is the difference between these two? Both seems to make a GET to /users and retrieve them.

Restangular.one('users').getList().then(function(users) {
    // do something with users
});

Restangular.all('users').getList().then(function(users) {
    // do something with users
});

I understand that you can do one('users', 123) and it will retrieve /users/123 but without the second argument it seems to be the same thing. Why not just have one method in that case?

Answer 1

The one() function has a second argument that accepts an id e.g. .one('users', 1).

• one('users', 1).get() translates to /users/1
• all('users').getList() translates to /users

Unlike all(), one() is not generally used with .getList() without argument. However, if you were to call .one('users', 1).getList('emails') or .one('users', 1).all('emails').getList(), then you would make a GET request to /users/1/emails.
