Restangular - Removing property from element

Im trying to remove a property element before doing the submission of that element. 

$scope.changeTitle = function(song, title){
    song.title = title;
    delete song.label;

    song.put();
}

When doing so it seems that the property "label" is removed. When I do the PUT operation the object actually has the property label. 

// This is the object I'm sending (checked from the chrome dev tool - network)
{
  artist: "XXXXX"
  title: 'XX'
  label: []
}

Is there any way to remove a property from an element?

Solution

  • If you inspect the object's put method in Developer console, you'll find that the referenced object is actually your original object (even after changes). In order fix the reference, use Restangular.copy() before you manipulate the object.

    Earlier when you wrote something along the lines of:

    $scope.song = restangular.one(song, 1).get().$object;

    You should instead write:

    $scope.song = restangular.copy(restangular.one(song, 1).get().$object);
