Use angularjs to post JSON without a parameter name

Question

Currently I have a resource like so:

 return $resource(usersUrl, {}, {
        //The data model is loaded via a GET request to the app
        query: {method: 'GET', params: {}, isArray: false},
        putupdate: {method: 'PUT', params:{}}
    });

Now I would like to put some JSON that looks like:

{"providerid":"userpass","firstname":"t","lastname":"b","fullname":"t b","email":"emailaddress,"avatarurl":"http:/.....","passwordset":true}

Anyway as you can see it doesn't have a top level name, if I pass this information in as a parameter to the resource a name is appended to the json like:

myparam:{"providerid":"userpass","firstname":"t","lastname":"b","fullname":"t b","email":"emailaddress,"avatarurl":"http:/.....","passwordset":true}

Is there a away of preventing this from happening as the server side doesn't like it?

Thanks

Tom

I think that we will need more code to help... Try to reproduce this case at a fiddle :D — Bruno Croys Felthes

From your question it sounds like you are trying to use $resource to post some arbitrary json data. If this data is not a Resource() you should simply use $http.

$http.put(theUrl, theJsonData);

If it is actually a Resource() you can just call the method you declared when building your resource.

myResource.putupdate();

Thanks Mark, the data is user information in the webapp and so is picked up from a rest endpoint and processed, sounds resourceful enough to me, although i've only been using AngularJS for 24 hours, so I am probably wrong :) I'm a bit confused though, how does calling the method post the json back in the body, i've played with that and failed to pass anything back to the server.
