httpresponse - How do I get the HTTP response status code in AngularJS 1.2

Question

Using ngResource in AngularJS 1.2rc(x), how do I get the status code now?

RestAPI.save({resource}, {data}, function( response, responseHeaders ) {
});

where RestAPI is my ngResource.

The response has the $promise object and the resource returned from the server but not a status anymore. The responseHeaders() function only has a status if the server injects the status code into the header object, but not the true returned status code. So some servers may serve it and some might not.

You can use the promiss callbacks then, catch and finally after the $resource call.

For example. If you want to catch an error after a call, you would do something like this:

RestAPI.save({resource}, {data}, callbackFunction).$promise.catch(function(response) {
    //this will be fired upon error
    if(response.status == 500) alert('Something baaad happend');
}).then(function() {
    //this will be fired upon success
});

The response object will have status and the statusText properties. status being an integer status code and statusText the text. You'll also have the data property containing the server response.

edit: as suggested, it was response.status
