## What it is
Angular Restmod is a Rails-inspired REST API ORM for AngularJS that generates model types with Active Record-style methods for interacting with RESTful backends. It supports collections, relations, lifecycle hooks, attribute renaming, and side-loaded data.

## Use cases
- map REST API resources to AngularJS model objects
- persist records to a Rails backend with $save
- query collections with filters and pagination
- handle related resources and side-loaded JSON responses
- track dirty attribute changes on models

## When to choose
- you maintain a legacy AngularJS 1.x app talking to a Rails-style REST API
- you want ActiveRecord-like model semantics in AngularJS

## When to avoid
- you use modern Angular (2+) or any other framework
- you need an actively maintained library
- you only need simple HTTP calls without a model layer

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: orm, http-client, api-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend, apis
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, rest-api, active-record, rails-inspired, model-layer, nodejs
