title: How to read response from angular resource $save() and also keeping original data
body: <p>I am new to Angular. I am sure I am missing some basic stuff here.</p>
  
  <p>I have one object which I post to the server to create it. The Server returns the object Id, which I need to read and update the object I have in the client.</p>
  
  <p>The server will only return the object ID, however, at the client side, I have other data which I am not able to use when I perform a callback (I don't have access to the original data).</p>

  <pre><code>//Get Angular Project module
  var app = angular.module("app", ['ngResource']);
  
  //create Project factory
  app.factory('Project', function ($resource) {
      return $resource('http://cmsanalyticsdev.pearson.com\\:8081/api/projects/:projectid',
              {projectid:'@id'},
              {update: {method:'PUT', isArray:false}}    
      );
  
  });
  
  
  //Controller for testing
  app.controller('ApplicationController', function ($scope, Project) {
  
  //Project object
  var project = new Project({"name":"New Project Test","thumbnail":"","statusid":"521d5b730f3c31e0c3b1e764","projecttypeid":"521f585c092a5b550202e536","teamid":"521f585a092a5b550202e521","authors":[{"firstname":"Dilip","lastname":"Kumar"}],"projectspecificmetadata":{"isbn13":"345345","guid":"asfas"},"modifiedby":"521f585a092a5b550202e525"}
  );
  //Create new project
  project.$save(project, function (projectResponse) {
                          project.projectId = projectResponse._id;
                          alert(project.name);
                      });
